Bilt is out with their offer for Rent Day in June, and this month they’re offering a transfer bonus that lets members move points to Accor Live Limitless (ALL) with a significant boost. While Accor’s fixed-value program doesn’t always deliver the highest returns, this limited-time offer changes the math, especially for Bilt members with Gold status or above. Here’s a breakdown of the promotion, how Accor redemptions work, and whether it’s worth taking advantage of.
Bonus Details – Valid Only on June 1
Bilt members can transfer points to Accor with the following bonuses:
-
Gold and Platinum members receive a 200% bonus
-
1,000 Bilt Points = 2,000 Accor Reward points
-
-
Silver and Blue members receive a 50% bonus
-
1,000 Bilt Points = 1,000 Accor Reward points
-
This is a notable increase over the standard transfer rate of 3:2 (3,000 Bilt Points = 2,000 ALL Reward Points). For members with travel plans that involve Accor hotels, this promotion could offer a practical use for Bilt points, although it depends on your travel patterns and redemption preferences.
Understanding Accor Point Value
The iconic Hotel Metropole Hanoi is part of the Sofitel Legend collection—bookable with ALL Reward points.
Accor’s ALL program operates on a fixed-value basis, with 2,000 points equaling €40 off a hotel bill. This removes any mystery about how much your points are worth, but it also means there’s no opportunity to “game” the system for outsized value the way you can with airline award charts or dynamic hotel pricing.
With the June 1 bonus:
- Gold/Platinum members get €40 (~$43.50) in value for 1,000 Bilt Points (≈ 4.35 cents per point)
- Silver/Blue members get €20 (~$21.75) for 1,000 Bilt Points (≈ 2.18 cents per point)
That’s a strong return, particularly for Gold and Platinum members, but whether it’s the best use of your points depends on what else you could do with them.
How This Compares to Other Bilt Transfer Options
Bilt has a solid roster of travel partners, including:
- Air Canada Aeroplan
- Alaska Airlines
- Flying Blue
- World of Hyatt
In many cases, transferring points to these programs for international flights or luxury hotel stays can yield more than 2–3 cents per point, especially in premium cabins. That said, those redemptions often require more planning, searching for availability, and sometimes flexibility in travel dates.
This Accor promotion, by contrast, is:
- Simple – you know exactly what value you’ll get
- Flexible – points can be redeemed even during your stay
- Immediate – no need to search for award inventory
Even if you’re not planning an aspirational business class flight, this promo is worth a second look, especially if you have travel planned to destinations where Accor has a strong presence. That includes brands such as Sofitel, Fairmont, Novotel, Pullman, and MGallery, which can be found across Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, and parts of North America.
ALL Reward points can be redeemed at a wide variety of hotels, from luxury icons to local favorites.
One Important Caveat: Point Expiration
Accor points expire 12 months after they’re earned, unless there’s qualifying earning activity on your account. Transferring Bilt points counts as earning, but if you don’t stay at an Accor property or earn more points within the next year, your balance could be forfeited.
If you don’t have a stay lined up or don’t want to worry about tracking expiration dates, you may want to skip speculative transfers.
Bottom Line
This Bilt–Accor bonus is best suited for:
- Bilt Gold members or above, who receive an unusually high fixed return on points
- Travelers with confirmed or likely Accor stays in the next 12 months
- Bilt members with larger point balances who are looking for a solid-value cash-out option
- Those who value simplicity and flexibility over chasing maximum theoretical value
If you don’t have a trip in mind where you’ll stay at a Fairmont, Sofitel, Pullman, Novotel, or other Accor brand, this might not be the best use of your Bilt points. But if you do—or if you’re looking for a straightforward way to extract solid value from your balance—June 1 may be worth marking on your calendar.
