Hey award trail blazers! Exciting news on the horizon if you're into maximizing rewards on your online shopping. Word on the street (thanks to a Rakuten leak!) is that Bilt Rewards could soon be joining the Rakuten shopping portal party. Now, why should you care? Well, Rakuten lets you earn rewards (usually cash back or Amex Membership Rewards points) just for clicking through their site before you shop online. If Bilt comes on board, you might be able to earn Bilt Points instead! This is a potentially HUGE deal because Bilt points are super valuable for paying rent and transferring to awesome travel partners like Hyatt and United. Think free flights and hotel stays! Basically, keep your eyes peeled for an official announcement. If this happens, remember to check Rakuten *every* time you shop online to see if you can snag those sweet, sweet Bilt Points! Turning everyday purchases into travel dreams? Yes, please!
