Bilt Rewards has partnered with Southwest Airlines to enable Bilt members to turn points earned from housing payments into points that can be used to book flights. Bilt members can convert their Bilt Points into Southwest Rapid Rewards points at a 1-to-1 ratio. Bilt Points are earned each time members pay their rent on time through Bilt. “Now, your housing payment that was once just a monthly expense can unlock travel experiences with one of America’s most popular airlines, giving our members access to more destinations across the U.S. and beyond,” Bilt Founder and CEO Ankur Jain said. Bilt and Southwest plan to add exclusive promotions and enhanced capabilities for their customers as their new partnership evolves. Jonathan Clarkson, vice president and chief product officer at Southwest Airlines, said that the collaboration “allows Southwest to connect with a unique audience of renters and homeowners across the United States while offering them the opportunity to use their Bilt Points to fly Southwest.” Bilt Points can now be used toward travel across over 100 airlines and hotel partners, fitness classes at boutique studios, art and home decor through the Bilt Home Design Collection, rent credits, future down payments on a home, or eligible student loans.
