Update 5/13/25: Has been officially added now.
Earlier today Bilt Rewards added Japan Airlines as a 1:1 transfer partner. The page now leads to an error, but I suspect the transfer page will go live officially in the coming days. This is a useful transfer partner for many, hopefully we see some transfer bonuses from Bilt as well.

On track to earn 40k points this year. Was able to front lead a bunch of spends during the 5X promo for the first days and earned 10 points there as well. Grocery category bonus on this card would pretty much make this as my main card.
I wanted to get the BILT card as a no FTF card and for the travel category on the 1st of every month. But I was denied for it lol.
With the upcoming changes to BILT card, I think the FTF and travel category are probably going to be removed.
Does everyone here have a Bilt card? My building uses Bilt to manage payments but I don't have one. Thinking if I should burn a slot for it...
It's pretty much a no-brainer for me as I rent. A free 30-40k points/year on spending that I would normally not get rewards for is too good. Bilt point value is also quite high.
Bilt cookin'
Be interesting to see if JAL shows up for Wells Fargo points.
Yay for another option other than AA to book JAL
This will almost certainly be the transfer bonus for rent day in May. Would love it if they also throw elite status in there for platinum members like they do with a 10k Air France transfer.
Bilt is annoying for many reasons, but I agree, they easily have the best lineup of transfer partners among major card issuers. Good on them.
Would be cool if they added a non rent card at some point to their lineup
I highly doubt that this will be the transfer bonus considering that JAL requires new mileage accounts be seasoned 6 months before a points redemption can be made. I do encourage everyone to sign up for a free account ASAP though. Hopefully we’ll see a BILT bonus in 6 months time
Of note: JAL typically requires a JMB account to be 60 days old in order to redeem miles. We have procured an exclusion for Bilt members who transfer to JAL. Within 7 days after transferring (if your account is not already 60 days old) your JMB account will be unlocked for redemptions. In reality it should be 3-4 days but we need to account for 7 based on the tech we had to set up to get the exclusive for Bilt members. We recommend every one go sign up for a JMB account now to start your 60 days old timer whether you think you have future plans to transfer to JAL or not.
