Bilt’s New Hilton Honors Partnership

Earlier this year, Bilt Rewards added Hilton Honors as one of their transfer partners, making it possible to transfer your Bilt points to Hilton Honors for free hotel stays. The complimentary Hilton Honors Gold Status is a great addition to this partnership, allowing members to enhance their holiday and travel experiences further.

Terms & Conditions for Hilton Honors Gold Status Match

Here are the key details you need to know about the Hilton Honors Gold status match:

• Offer Period: From 12:00 AM ET to 11:59 PM PT on October 1, 2024, Bilt members can request Hilton Honors Gold status by activating the offer via the Bilt app or website.
• Hilton Honors Gold Trial: Once activated, you will receive a Hilton Honors Gold Trial status, which may take up to 10 business days to reflect in your Hilton Honors account. The trial will last through December 31, 2024.
• Earning HH Gold & Diamond Status Challenge: To retain Gold status beyond the trial, Bilt members must complete 8 qualifying nights by December 31, 2024. Members can also earn Diamond status by completing either 14 qualifying nights (for Bilt Blue, Silver, and Gold members) or 10 nights (for Bilt Platinum members) by the same date.
• Extended Elite Status: Members who earn Gold or Diamond status through this promotion will retain their status through March 31, 2026.

Note that bookings must be made through Hilton’s approved booking tools or travel professionals, and bonus points are not eligible for elite tier qualification. Additionally, benefits like Wi-Fi, bottled water, and fitness center access may vary depending on the property.

Why You Should Do This

Typically you would need to have the highest status level with a hotel loyalty program (ie Hyatt Globalist status or Marriott Platinum status) to earn complimentary continental breakfast outside of the US and/or daily food & bevy credit but this is one of the perks with Hilton’s Gold Status! This is automatically given on a per night basis and is given for up to two people in a room!

If you have or MIGHT have any travels for the next three months, this is a great way to experience how loyalty pays off.

What is Bilt Rewards?

For those unfamiliar, Bilt Rewards is a loyalty program designed for renters to earn points on rent payments with no fees, as well as on everyday spending. It’s completely free to sign up, and you can start earning points immediately. You can transfer these points to major airline and hotel partners, including Hilton Honors, or redeem them for travel, fitness classes, and even rent credits.

Furthermore, a Bilt Mastercard allows you to pay your rent and EARN Bilt Rewards for doing so! If you do sign up for the credit card, please also use my link to create your Bilt Rewards profile otherwise Bilt will not grant me any referral points.

My Recent Hilton Honors Diamond Status Experience

In my own travels, Hilton Honors Diamond Status has been richly rewarded at EVERY Hilton I have stayed at in the last year from daily F&B credit to multiple rooms at the Hampton Inn London Waterloo to a executive lounge upgrades/comp spa access at Hilton Reykjavik Nordica to an insane comp upgrade to a 2 bedroom Oceanview villa at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos!
