The Bilt Rewards family of transfer partners keeps on growing. Today, Bilt is adding a new 1:1 airline transfer partner: Avianca LifeMiles. This comes just over a month after Bilt added Marriott Bonvoy as a transfer partner<\/a>, so the program has clearly been busy.<\/p>\n

Here's what the addition of Avianca LifeMiles brings to the Bilt Rewards table.<\/p>\n

Bilt Adds Avianca LifeMiles as a Transfer Partner<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you've got a stash of Bilt Rewards Points, you can now convert the Points you earn for paying rent to Avianca (stylized as avianca<\/em> to stay hip with the times) LifeMiles at a 1:1 ratio.<\/p>\n

Also, like other transfer partners, transfers must be made in 1,000-point increments with a transfer minimum of 2,000 Points (for Blue members).<\/p>\n

What makes this particular addition exciting is the ability to use your pPointsints toward aspirational redemptions like Lufthansa first class<\/a>, plus other highly-sought-after business-class awards on Turkish Airlines, SWISS, and ANA. And you won't pay heavy fees on these awards when booking through LifeMiles, unlike what you may see through other booking options.<\/p>\n

But that's not all you can use LifeMiles for. Avianca operates a comprehensive route network that can take you all over South America, as far north as Toronto, and as far east as Barcelona. The award rates are also highly competitive, including an advance booking discount<\/a>, and there's a wide variety of other ways to earn LifeMiles. That means LifeMiles are easy to come by if you have a specific award in mind and your Bilt Rewards Points don't completely cover the cost of it.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bilt's addition of Avianca as its 16th transfer partner is huge, given the number of places LifeMiles can take you. The number of ways you can now use Bilt Rewards Points seems endless, which makes a Bilt credit card product hard to pass up if you want to maximize the Points you earn on rent.<\/p>\n
