Update 6/1/25: Just a quick reminder that this transfer bonus to Accor Live Limitless is available today (June 1) only.
~
Bilt has announced details about its next Rent Day and it has the potential to be a good one depending on your Bilt Rewards status. That’s because they’re offering a bonus of up to 200% when transferring your points to Accor Live Limitless (ALL).
That’s the headline offer, but Bilt is also offering a bonus when redeeming your points for Lyft rides.
The Deals
- Bilt is offering a transfer bonus to Accor Live Limitless based on your Bilt Rewards status level:
- Blue & Silver – 50% bonus (i.e. 1:1)
- Gold & Platinum – 200% bonus (i.e. 1:2)
- Bilt is also offering an increased redemption rate when redeeming Bilt Rewards points for Lyft rides:
- Blue & Silver – 50% bonus
- Gold & Platinum – 100% bonus
Key Terms
- Accor Live Limitless – Offer valid June 1, 2025 from 12am ET – June 2, 2025 at 11:59pm PT.
- Lyft – Offer valid May 27, 2025 at 9am ET – June 2, 2025 at 11:59pm PT
Quick Thoughts
Bilt normally transfers to Accor on a 3:2 basis. With a 50% bonus on offer for Blue and Silver members, that increases the ratio to 3:3 or, effectively, 1:1. Gold and Platinum members meanwhile get a 200% bonus which increases the ratio to 3:6, or an effective 1:2.
Unlike the majority of hotel loyalty programs, Accor Live Limitless has points that have a fixed redemption rate of 2 Euro cents each. Based on the current Euro to US Dollar exchange rate, that’s ~2.28 cents per point (cpp). That means Bilt Rewards Blue and Silver members can get 2.28 cents per point of value, while Gold and Platinum members get a whopping 4.56 cents per point. With the right airline transfer bonus you might get that value on a future Rent Day, but a guaranteed redemption rate of just over 4.5 cents per point (provided Accor doesn’t devalue its points) is fantastic.
To give a better sense of the value you could get, let’s say you have Gold or Platinum status and would normally transfer your Bilt points to Hyatt. 5,000 points could get you one night in a category 1 hotel when standard pricing is in force. By transferring 5,000 Bilt points to Accor on June 1 on the other hand, you’d be able to redeem those for a ~$228 stay. That’s more value than you could usually expect to get from a category 1 Hyatt redemption.
On the higher end of the Hyatt award chart, you’re looking at 30,000 points at standard pricing for a category 7 hotel. 30,000 points transferred to Accor with a 200% bonus could be redeemed for $1,368 of hotel stays.
The somewhat downside of the Accor program is that it doesn’t have a large presence in North America. Overseas though, they’re much better represented with more than 5,500 hotels around the world.
This transfer bonus could be worthwhile for Bilt Gold and Platinum members even if you have zero interest in the ALL program. That’s because Accor has partnerships with many different airline and other travel loyalty programs. Many of those wouldn’t normally be appealing by transferring Bilt points, but a few partnerships become much more attractive with a 1:2 ratio. For example, you can transfer Accor Live Limitless points on a 1:1 basis to:
- Air France/KLM Flying Blue
- Iberia Avios
- Virgin Australia Velocity (not Virgin Atlantic Flying Club)
Also potentially of interest:
- Qantas Frequent Flyer – transfer 2,000 ALL points to 2,500 Qantas points
- ITA Airways – transfer 4,000 ALL points to 5,000 Volare points
Don’t forget that back in January, Bilt offered a status match to the Accor Live Limitless program. If you took advantage of that, it could give even more reason to transfer to Accor on June 1.
