Bilt Rewards: Earn 900 Points for Linking All 9 Airline & Hotel Accounts to the App [Updated]

Updated at 1pm PT on 12/16/21: According to Richard Kerr (Director of Travel Rewards at Bilt Rewards): “looks like we have an out of date email going out; you earn 100 miles per account you link for each of our 7 airline and 2 hotel partners for a total of 900 points.”  Based on that info, you can link all 9 of Bilt Rewards current airline and hotel partners to earn a total of 900 points.  Richard also said: “More ways to earn points without the card coming soon – but we hope you’ll get the card.”  I’m looking forward to seeing the future earning opportunities with Bilt Rewards.


Good afternoon everyone.  A few days ago, I signed up for the Bilt Rewards program (even though I do not have an apartment or pay rent).  Bilt Rewards allows you to earn points for paying rent, but you can also earn points with the Bilt Rewards Credit Card (read Frequent Miler’s review).  If you are new to Bilt Rewards, you can sign up with Frequent Miler’s code to skip the waitlist (FM4BILT).  Once you sign up, download the Bilt Rewards app (iOS and Android).  There is currently a promo where you can earn 300 points for linking your America Airlines, Emirates, and Hawaiian Airlines accounts to the app.  The points post instantly, but you need a minimum of 1,000 points to transfer to an airline partner.

3 Buy Miles / Points Promos Ending Soon: Avianca (175%), Frontier (150%) & Marriott (45%)

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 3 offers that are ending in the next week.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are 3 offers that end soon.

Up first, Avianca Airlines is offering up to a 175% bonus, depending on the number of Avianca Airlines LifeMiles you purchase.  This offer expires December 13.

Bank of America Alaska Airlines Credit Card 20% Rebate for In-Flight Purchases Works Great

Good morning everyone.  A few weeks ago, I flew Alaska Airlines from San Francisco to New York and took advantage of the 20% rebate for in-flight purchases for paying with my Bank of America Alaska Airlines Credit Card (works on both the personal and business credit card).  A 20% rebate is a great benefit and you actually earn 3x Alaska Airlines miles on the original price (before the rebate).  I wanted to share my experience since I haven’t seen this benefit written about extensively.

Wyndham Timeshare Vacation Package: 4 Nights + 30K Points for $199 in Las Vegas, Orlando, Oceanside & More

Good evening everyone.  I just received an email from Club Wyndham for a 4 night stay in Las Vegas, Orlando, Oceanside and 7 other cities + 30,000 Wyndham Rewards Points for $199.  There are also some options for a 3 night stay + 15,000 Wyndham Rewards Points for $149.  These are some of the highest bonuses I have ever seen for Wyndham vacation packages.  These vacation packages require attending a 2 hour timeshare presentation (please see the terms and conditions before booking).  You may be able to get an even better deal if you call the Club Wyndham phone number (1-855-895-3640).  The phone reps really want people to attend the timeshare presentation and have the power to give you more incentives, like more free points or a prepaid gift card.  I also saw some offers that came with SeaWorld tickets, AMEX gift cards, Caesars Rewards gift cards, and more.

I’m not sure if this matters, but I am in California, I have Wyndham Rewards Diamond Elite Status and I have the Barclays Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Credit Card.  I didn’t see a book by date on the email, so I am not sure how long this promotion will last.  Here is the email I received from Club Wyndham:
