Heads up, Bilt Rewards members! Big changes are coming in 2026. Bilt is ditching its Milestone Rewards program and introducing something called "Bilt Cash" instead. While 2026 might seem like a ways away, it's good to be prepared, especially if you're actively earning points and strategizing your rewards.

Basically, Milestone Rewards, which gave you bonuses for hitting spending levels, are going away. In their place, Bilt Cash will presumably offer some kind of redemption value. Details are still pretty scarce about what exactly Bilt Cash is and how it will work, so we'll have to wait and see what Bilt unveils closer to the launch date.

Why does this matter to you? Well, if you're a Bilt cardholder who relies on those Milestone Rewards to boost your points balance, you'll need to adjust your strategy. Keep an eye out for more announcements from Bilt in the coming months so you can make the most of the existing program before it changes and understand how Bilt Cash will factor into your future travel plans.

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
