Bilt Partners With Japan Airlines, Allowing Users To Convert Points To Global Travel Rewards

Bilt, a leading housing and neighborhood commerce network, has announced a new partnership with Japan Airlines (JAL) allowing Bilt members to convert their housing payment points into JAL Mileage Bank miles.

This partnership marks a significant milestone as Bilt becomes JAL’s first 1:1 transfer partner in North America. Bilt members can now transfer their Bilt Points to JAL miles at an industry-leading 1:1 ratio, providing unprecedented access to JAL’s extensive global network as part of the oneworld Alliance. This collaboration is a first for Bilt in Japan and its second in Eastern Asia, enhancing the flexibility and value of Bilt Points.

“Were always working to ensure we offer nothing less than exceptional service quality to our members, so welcoming Japan Airlines as our latest travel partner was a no-brainer,” said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO at Bilt. “This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to provide the most valuable and flexible rewards for our members. Now, your housing payment that was once just a monthly expense can unlock premium travel experiences with one of Asia’s most respected airlines.”

The partnership enables Bilt members to earn rewards on every rent payment, which can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, and more across JAL’s global network. Additionally, Bilt membership offers exclusive benefits at local restaurants, coffee shops, pharmacies, fitness studios, and more, providing members with a comprehensive rewards experience.

“Japan Airlines is delighted to partner with Bilt,” said Yasushi Omori, Senior Vice President, Mileage and Lifestyle Business at Japan Airlines. “This collaboration allows us to connect with a unique audience of renters and homeowners in the United States while offering them exceptional value on their Bilt Points through our award-winning service and extensive global network as part of the oneworld Alliance.”

This partnership further burnishes Bilt’s reputation as a leading rewards program, offering the only platform that allows members to earn points on rent payments without transaction fees.
