Bilt Rewards continues to raise the bar with its Rent Day transfer bonuses, and June is no exception. This month, Bilt Gold or Platinum members can transfer Points to Accor Live Limitless (ALL) and receive a 200% bonus. At face value, this already presents a terrific opportunity for those who frequent Accor Hotels. But hidden airline transfer bonuses make this Bilt-to-Accor transfer bonus even better.
Accor's Airline Transfer Partners
Many points and miles collectors may not realize that Accor ALL members can also transfer ALL points to over 30 airline partners. These include some mainstays in the points-transfer world, like Air France – KLM Flying Blue, Iberia Plus, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Avianca LifeMiles. ALL’s partners also include a few rarities for point transfers these days, including Aegean Airlines Miles + Bonus, Delta SkyMiles, Korean Air SkyPass, and even Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus.
Here's the full list of current Accor transfer partners:
You don’t normally hear about these partners for two reasons:
- Before Bilt added Accor ALL as a transfer partner, it was relatively difficult to acquire Accor ALL points, since the only way to collect ALL points was to stay at Accor properties.
- Accor offers the vast majority of these Accor-to-Airline transfers at suboptimal ratios — not 1:1.
However, getting Accor ALL points at half the cost (1:2 as a Bilt Gold/Platinum member) changes the game!
Use Bilt's Rent Day to Unlock “Hidden” Transfer Bonuses
Convert Bilt to Flying Blue or Iberia Plus with a 100% bonus
Accor ALL offers an effective 1:1 point transfer to two of my favorite airline loyalty programs, Air France – KLM Flying Blue and Iberia Plus.
If you transfer 1,000 Bilt Points to Accor ALL during the June Rent Day promotion, you’ll receive 2,000 Accor ALL points. You can then convert these to 2,000 Flying Blue miles. Voila: a 100% transfer bonus from Bilt to Flying Blue!
The same is true for Iberia Plus, albeit with a 3,000-point transfer minimum. And remember, you can move Avios between any Avios-earning program.
Down Under deals: 150% bonus to Qantas and 160% bonus to Virgin Australia
Anyone interested in collecting points for the airlines “down under” is in luck, too.
Accor ALL members can convert points to Qantas Frequent Flyer at a rate of 2,000 Accor points => 2,500 miles. In conjunction with Bilt’s June Rent Day Promotion, that could mean converting Bilt Points to Qantas miles at 1:2.5 — an effective 150% transfer bonus!
Likewise, Accor ALL members can convert points to Virgin Australia Velocity Frequent Flyer at a rate of 4,000 : 4,000. Serendipitously, Virgin Australia Velocity is also currently offering a 30% transfer bonus for transfers from Accor ALL. Put it together, and you could stack two transfer bonuses in one to convert Bilt to Virgin Australia at a rate of 2,000 Accor points to 5,200 Velocity points!
Unique Programs: Bilt to Korean Air SKYPASS 1:1
Perhaps the most interesting facet of this backdoor transfer is the ability to procure hard-to-get points at a reasonable rate. Specifically, I’m interested in the ability to effectively convert Bilt points 1:1 to Korean Airlines SKYPASS.
I have a soft spot for Korean Airlines SKYPASS, as it was the program I used to book my first business-class trip to Asia for my honeymoon. It’s gone through a lot of changes over the past several years — most notably ending its partnership with Chase Ultimate Rewards in 2018 and Marriott Bonvoy in 2024. Ending these partnerships made the changing value of the SKYPASS program almost inconsequential since most people couldn’t earn SKYPASS miles anyway.
That said, the program still has a lot going for it. There are some terrific SKYPASS sweet spots, and the reduced transferability has only improved award availability.
If you transfer 2,000 Bilt points to 4,000 Accor ALL points, you can then transfer 4,000 Accor points to 2,000 SKYPASS miles. This nets out to effectively a 1:1 transfer from Bilt to Korean. If you have any interest in flying Korean Airlines to Asia — or flying SkyTeam to Hawaii, Europe, or South Africa — you should consider taking advantage of this opportunity.
Why I’m Transferring All My Bilt Points to Accor
While Bilt continues to push the boundaries of partnerships and transfer bonuses, I’ve yet to personally take advantage of any of their bonuses. None of the transfers have suited my travel needs at the right time, especially since Bilt’s transfer roster is too valuable to transfer speculatively. That will change this Rent Day.
Transferring Bilt points to Accor 1:2 is kind of like converting Bilt points to another transferable award currency … with a transfer bonus. For example:
- One scenario could be that I end up using my ALL points to book a stay — at €0.02 each — at one of the program’s 50+ hotel brands. This essentially means redeeming Bilt points for €0.04 (currently 4.54 USD cents) each, a respectable redemption rate by any measure.
- The other scenario would be I further transfer my (now) ALL points to Flying Blue, Iberia Plus, Qantas Frequent Flyer, or Korean SKYPASS. These would all net out to 1:1 or better from Bilt and could potentially mean procuring currency I couldn’t otherwise earn.
The combination of these opportunities makes this rent day transfer bonus too hard for me to pass up.
Conclusion
Bilt’s June Rent Day promotion offers Bilt Gold or Platinum members the ability to transfer points to Accor ALL with a 200% bonus. Aside from doubling the value for Bilt Points for Accor ALL hotel redemptions, it also makes a backdoor transfer bonus possible for a number of Accor’s airline partners. Put these two things together, and I’m convinced it’s time to transfer all of my Bilt Points.
