[Live 3/1 only] Bilt Rent Day for March: 150%-200% transfer bonus to Hilton Honors

Update 3/1/25: Reminder that this is now live for today only (3/1/25).

Bilt Rewards has announced details of its Rent Day deals for March 1, 2025. There’s another massive transfer bonus – this time to Hilton – but its regular transfer ratio means that even if your points get tripled, it’s still far from being a no-brainer deal.

The Deal

• Bilt is offering the following tiered transfer bonus to Hilton Honors for March Rent Day depending on your Bilt Rewards status:
  • 200% transfer bonus
    • Platinum
    • Gold
    • Silver
  • 150% transfer bonus
    • Blue

Key Terms

• Offer valid March 1, 2025 at 12am ET to March 1, 2025 at 11:59pm PT.
• Minimum transfer of 2,000 points.

Quick Thoughts

In theory, a transfer bonus of 150% or 200% is incredible. Indeed, when Bilt has run similar transfer bonuses in the past to programs like Aeroplan, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, Flying Blue, etc., it was incredible.

This Hilton transfer bonus is less exciting though. That’s because unlike American Express Membership Rewards that ordinarily transfer to Hilton on a 1:2 basis, the Bilt to Hilton transfer ratio is normally only 1:1. That means that Bilt Rewards Blue members will have that ratio improved to 1:2.5, while for Silver, Gold and Platinum members it’ll improve to 1:3.

You can reasonably expect to get 0.5cpp (cents per point) of value when redeeming Hilton points. That means that transferring Bilt points to Hilton any time there isn’t a transfer bonus is awful value and should be avoided. With this transfer bonus, Blue members should get ~1.25cpp of value, while Silver, Gold and Platinum members should get ~1.5cpp of value. That isn’t terrible, but it’s possible to get far better value from your Bilt points and so it’s also not a redemption that I’d highly recommend either.

Hilton points are currently on sale for 0.5cpp, so most people would be better off buying points via that promotion if needing to top up their balance. Amex is also currently offering a 25% transfer bonus to Hilton which makes the ratio 1:2.5. While that’s the same that Bilt Blue members will get and less than Silver, Gold and Platinum members will receive, many people find it much easier to rack up Membership Rewards and so would find that a preferable transfer option, thereby maintaining their Bilt balance for Hyatt transfers or to transfer to airline programs during future transfer bonuses.

As always with these Bilt Rent Day deals, the offer is only available on the first day of the month, so don’t transfer before or after March 1. We’ll republish this post on Saturday as a reminder just in case you’d like to take advantage of it.
