Members earn 2x Bilt Points per $1 spent on hotels, or you can redeem for points at a 1.25 cent per point redemption rate.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, you might find it better to book hotels through the Bilt Travel Portal instead of transferring points to certain Bilt hotel partners and booking from there. For example, if you can get 1.25 cents per point through the portal, but a 1:1 transfer to Hilton Honors yields an average of 0.61\u00a2 per point (based on AwardWallet user redemptions), the portal option could give you more value.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Book_your_BLADE_flight_with_the_Bilt_Travel_Portal\">Book your BLADE flight with the Bilt Travel Portal<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bilt also has a deep partnership with BLADE, which operates helicopter transfers between Manhattan and airports in the New York City area, Monaco, and Nice, as well as other seasonal offerings.<\/p>\n<p>You can book BLADE transfers directly in the Bilt Travel Portal as well as redeem any discounts or free flights you might have from Bilt status. Bilt Silver members and above receive 10% off BLADE flights, and Bilt Platinum members receive one complimentary BLADE flight each year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214790\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/196\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-214790 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.37.49\u202fAM.png\" alt=\"Blade flight search Bilt\" width=\"750\" height=\"196\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.37.49\u202fAM.png 1866w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.37.49\u202fAM-300x78.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.37.49\u202fAM-1024x268.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.37.49\u202fAM-768x201.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.37.49\u202fAM-1536x402.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Bilt<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>Bilt returned one option for my 6:30 AM arrival at JFK in my example.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214791\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/489\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-214791 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.43.28\u202fAM.png\" alt=\"BLADE search JFK Manhattan 10\/14\" width=\"750\" height=\"489\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.43.28\u202fAM.png 1282w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.43.28\u202fAM-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.43.28\u202fAM-1024x668.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.43.28\u202fAM-768x501.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Bilt<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>On the next page, Bilt offers three different BLADE fares, with differing cancellation policies and luggage inclusions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214792\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/551\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-214792 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.44.44\u202fAM.png\" alt=\"BLADE booking\" width=\"750\" height=\"551\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.44.44\u202fAM.png 1888w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.44.44\u202fAM-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.44.44\u202fAM-1024x752.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.44.44\u202fAM-768x564.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-22-at-10.44.44\u202fAM-1536x1128.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Bilt<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>Bilt's booking engine also offers several up-charges, like luggage delivery, meet and greet, and black car service.
