Bilt added JetBlue TrueBlue as a 1:1 transfer partner on October 20, 2026, with no launch bonus. We value a TrueBlue point at 1.3 cents in every cabin, about half our default value for a Bilt Point, so the new route fits a JetBlue flight you'd otherwise pay cash for, and you don’t have another use for Bolt points. Our default Bilt value moved up by a hundredth of a cent.

Bilt runs two Rent Day transfer bonuses on October 1, to Amtrak and to Hilton. We worked out what each makes a Bilt point worth at every Bilt status. Amtrak at Platinum beats keeping the point. Hilton is mostly about the status.

On September 23, 2026, Bilt added Amtrak Guest Rewards as a transfer partner at 2 Bilt Points to 1 Amtrak point. Amtrak prices reward travel off the cash fare, so we value Guest Rewards points at 2.66 cents on every train and in every class. At 2 to 1, a transfer returns about half of our default Bilt value. It can still make sense for a trip you'd buy with cash anyway, and Bilt's minimums, the account link and Amtrak's 24-month expiry rule all apply.

The Amex Gold and Chase Sapphire cards all claim to be top dining cards - but when you run the actual numbers, the differences are more nuanced than the marketing suggests.
