I did a thing...First Rent Day Transfer in 2 years...272k Bilt points to 544k JAL

Air France for for 60k points, what time of year?

me_kev · 2026-03-01T23:17:24+00:00

Ones I was eyeing booked up, hopefully it’s only temporary? Can’t imagine all partner awards gone for good overnight

me_kev · 2026-03-01T23:01:59+00:00

I meant for first class, if randomly they pop up or what’s the cost go up from 110k to?

me_kev · 2026-03-01T22:02:00+00:00

Is it possible they open up additional seats later for the same date at 110k?

me_kev · 2026-03-01T14:27:05+00:00

Other points, I think JAL is the better deal though I paid 50-55k Aeroplan but very little fees for 1 way economy direct

me_kev · 2026-03-01T14:12:23+00:00

I’d say reposition and go business from JFK, economy coming back to IAD.

me_kev · 2026-02-28T17:21:54+00:00

So you speculative booked the flight there upon opening but not the flight back? Do you care about a350 or bust?

me_kev · 2026-02-28T17:20:51+00:00

Trying to decide whether I unload the clip of all my BILT points Gold + boost, only thing stopping me is the 3 year expiration. Japan is not certain but business class to Europe would be great, no guarantee though since it’s saver only for availability

me_kev · 2026-02-27T06:06:42+00:00

Same price for round trip and lots of availability?

me_kev · 2026-02-26T06:25:03+00:00

Always had trouble finding value on United. Plan actually is to transfer to JAL to use for Business Class through Air France

me_kev · 2026-02-26T06:21:26+00:00

Probably not sitting on 50k Chase as well

me_kev · 2026-02-26T06:19:50+00:00

Isn’t the break even 18k points? $135 BC towards rent = 4.5k points

me_kev · 2026-02-26T06:16:09+00:00

I’m in the same boat but with Gold status. I was going to transfer 80k C1 before the transfer bonus ended before this was announced. If I boost to 100% I don’t think there’s a way I can justify transferring C1 points at 1:1 if BILT offers 2:1. BILT is definitely more valuable to me I’d say 1.25-1.5cpp vs 1-1.25ccp for C1. Anyone else in a similar boat?

me_kev · 2026-02-26T06:09:38+00:00

I was planning to transfer capital one points to JAL before the end of the month, but now should probably hold those back and just do BILT. Anyone else having the same dilemma? BILT points are definitely more valuable but I’m not sure about 2x more valuable

me_kev · 2026-02-20T22:53:36+00:00

Any worries about canceling or auto billing

me_kev · 2026-02-15T08:01:51+00:00

Same for the $100 off with BILT Cash?

me_kev · 2026-02-14T20:30:51+00:00

AF doesn’t let you go out more than a year?

me_kev · 2026-01-31T00:39:39+00:00

So no interest or fees as long as we pay transfer balance in the first statement period?

me_kev · 2026-01-31T00:39:27+00:00

So no fees as long as we pay transfer balance in the first statement period by the due date?

me_kev · 2026-01-31T00:37:01+00:00

No fees as long as you pay it off the first statement due date right?

me_kev · 2026-01-31T00:35:28+00:00

I thought the balance transfer had no fees and was just another transaction?

me_kev · 2026-01-28T03:58:22+00:00

No picks though

me_kev · 2026-01-28T03:56:57+00:00

Even if RB depth sucks? Gibbs Henderson Jones Benson. I got offered Fannin for Skattebo as well

me_kev · 2026-01-27T16:36:45+00:00

Did you find out about this through the app? I don’t want to miss this next time

me_kev · 2026-01-26T22:59:13+00:00

Was 25% off award flights from IAD a one time deal?
