Bilt Rewards members can earn 2x Bilt Points on BLADE purchases when paying with a linked payment card. Elite members can enjoy at least 10% savings on airport flights and more with higher status tiers.
Earn 2x Bilt Rewards Points & Blade Perks
All Bilt Rewards members can earn 2 Bilt Points per $1 on BLADE bookings starting on April 19, 2024. It’s free to join this loyalty program and start earning rewards.
Simply link any credit card or debit card to your Bilt Wallet and use it to pay for any BLADE service. This means you can book with your favorite rewards credit card to earn travel or cash rewards along with Bilt Points.
You may also prefer using the Bilt World Elite Mastercard®, which earns up to 3x points on purchases—including 2x on travel and 1x on rent. However, you must use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points. Read more about the Rewards and Benefits to learn more.
It also doesn’t have an annual fee (See Rates & Fees). This card also makes it easier to transfer points to participating airlines or hotels and enjoy a 25% redemption bonus on award trips, and other Bilt Card benefits.
You can book these flights and services directly from BLADE or through the Bilt app and website to earn double points.

Save At Least 10% on BLADE Airport Flights
The three Bilt elite status tiers can lock in a minimum of 10% savings on qualifying BLADE purchases:
- Silver: Save 10% off BLADE airport flights booked in the Bilt app or website
- Gold: 10% off BLADE airport flights plus access to BLADE lounges when not flying
- Platinum: The above benefits plus one free BLADE flight between Newark, JFK, and Manhattan or between Monaco and Nice.
Unlike the 2x earning potential which only requires paying with a linked payment card, these itineraries must be booked through the Bilt app or website to enjoy these elite status perks.
The discounts automatically display in the Bilt booking portal along with any redeemable Platinum flight credits. It’s possible to book these rewards with the best travel credit cards to earn your desired credit card currency.
Flights booked through Bilt follow the standard BLADE cancellation and change policies. Further, Gold and Platinum members must verify their Bilt status level with the BLADE lounge desk attendant to enter.
