Your BLADE Benefits Just Got a Major Upgrade in the Bilt Ecosystem: Direct Booking, Bilt Points, and Bilt Cash

Starting today, BLADE is now even more integrated into the Bilt marketplace: members can now book BLADE flights directly in the Bilt Travel Portal. No app-switching, and no separate checkout. And, for the first time, you can use Bilt Points and Bilt Cash to pay for your BLADE.

What's New

Direct booking in the Bilt Travel Portal: You can now search, select, and book a BLADE without ever leaving the Bilt app. Head to the Bilt Travel Portal to get started.

Pay with Bilt Points: Bilt Points can now be applied at checkout toward any BLADE booking made in the Bilt Travel Portal. Use points to cover your full booking or combine them with cash — your call.

Bilt Cash toward BLADE: Bilt Members can now redeem Bilt Cash toward BLADE bookings: up to $350 per seat, for up to 2 flights per calendar year (total value up to $700/year). At checkout, your available Bilt Cash credit will appear automatically as a payment option. Bilt Cash can be combined with Bilt Points and any linked card at checkout.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Credits reset every January 1; not replenished upon use in same calendar year

  • Each credit applies to one seat booking; if your seat costs less than $350, remaining credit cannot be carried over

  • Bilt Cash applies to seat bookings only, not incidentals like luggage
