We've known for quite some time now that Bilt's partnership with American Airlines would end. The partnership's final day is coming up quickly, ending on June 24, 2024. In other words, time is running out to initiate a transfer from Bilt to American Airlines. So, act soon if you want to convert your Bilt points to AAdvantage® miles.

Bilt Transfers to AAdvantage® Are Ending on June 24

For just a little longer, you can transfer Bilt Rewards points to American Airlines AAdvantage at a 1:1 rate. That's the standard ratio for transferring Bilt points to partners, but the AA partnership is a little bit special. Here's why.

After ending a temporary partnership for points transfers from Citi in 2021, Bilt's partnership with AA became the only 1:1 points transfer option for earning AAdvantage miles. Beyond this, you have some poor transfer ratios from hotel programs and American Airlines credit cards. Having a transferable rewards option for earning AAdvantage miles is fantastic.

Unfortunately, that's going away on June 24, 2024. In the Bilt Rewards app and on the AAdvantage transfer partner page, you'll see the following message:

“Bilt is winding down its partnership with American Airlines. Transfers will be available until June 24, 2024.”

Thus, if you've been amassing Bilt Rewards points or using The Bilt Mastercard® for the sake of turning them into American Airlines miles, you should consider transferring them before June 24. Otherwise, you'll lose this option entirely.

The good news is that you'll still have plenty of Bilt Rewards transfer partners to choose from:

Our Take

Any time a solid points transfer option goes away, it's sad. I know many people who got excited about Bilt points because of the ability to earn AA miles. How will this news change their perspective on Bilt? Time will tell.

Between now and June 24, you should plan your points transfers to AA accordingly. Come then, you won't have this option any longer.
