Bilt Rent Day: Get Accor Live Limitless (ALL) status match; year-long match to Platinum for Bilt Platinum members

9

Bilt is kicking off 2025 with a somewhat niche but potentially valuable status match opportunity with Accor Live Limitless (ALL). The best opportunity will be for those with Bilt Platinum status, although it’ll be worth registering for this promotion if you have any stays planned at Accor brands in 2025 seeing as the status match lasts for an entire year.

Quick Thoughts

In case you’re not familiar with Accor Live Limitless (ALL), it’s the loyalty program for Accor hotels. Here’s a list of their worldwide brands:

Accor Live Limitless hotel brands

Accor currently has 47 properties in the US, 27 in Canada and 44 in Mexico. Worldwide though, Accor has more than 5,000 properties and so there’s plenty of chance to put your newfound status to good use if you’ll be traveling internationally in the new year.

This is potentially a decent opportunity seeing as the status you’ll receive with ALL will be valid through the end of 2025. Here’s what each status level offers in that program:

Accor Live Limitless elite status tiers benefits

Bilt members who opt in to this status match will receive Silver status by default. The list of benefits for that status level are limited rather than Limitless, but getting a welcome drink, priority welcome and late check-out, as well as 24% bonus points on spend during stays, could still be worthwhile seeing as you won’t have to have stayed 10 nights or spent €800 in order to earn those benefits.

For those of us who only have Bilt Blue status, that’s the extent of the status match. However, those with Bilt Silver, Gold or Platinum status have the option to redeem 2,000 Bilt Rewards points to get an upgrade to ALL Gold status. That brings with it the benefits from Silver status, as well as guaranteed room availability, eligibility for room upgrades and early check-in or late check-out (that ‘or’ phrasing makes it sound like you’re not eligible for both during the same stay), as well as 48% bonus points on spend during stays. If you currently have zero plans to stay at ALL properties in 2025, I’m not sure it’s worth redeeming 2,000 Bilt points for this benefit, but if you do then personally I’d definitely be considering that redemption in the hope that I’d get a decent room upgrade or if I wanted to get early check-in.

If you have Platinum status with Bilt, you’ll also have the opportunity to redeem 5,000 Bilt Rewards points for Platinum status with ALL. That’s a status level that becomes much more interesting thanks to the inclusion of suite night upgrades, lounge access and premium Wi-Fi, as well as 76% bonus points on spend during stays. With regards to the suite night upgrades, you only get two of those, each of which is only valid for a night. That benefit is therefore somewhat limited, but it could be great for a weekend stay, perhaps when staying at an Accor property booked using $200 Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts credits.

Note that ALL Platinum status doesn’t include complimentary breakfast unless the hotel you book has a lounge. In fact, even top tier Diamond status with ALL doesn’t receive complimentary breakfast in the restaurant other than at weekends. Update: Chris has shared in the comments that both Platinum and Diamond members receive complimentary breakfast on stays in the APAC (Asia-Pacific) region.

Redeeming 5,000 Bilt Rewards points for ALL Platinum status could be a questionable decision if you’re not currently planning on staying at Accor properties in 2025, but if you are then you could definitely get outsized value from that redemption.

As a reminder, ALL is a transfer partner of Bilt on a 3:2 basis and of Citi and Capital One on a 1,000:500 basis. Unlike most hotel programs, ALL points have a fixed value. Rather than redeeming points for a certain category level of hotel, every 1,000 points is worth €20 Euros towards your stay. That means each point is worth €0.02 which, at current exchange rates, works out to be ~$0.0208 (i.e. 2.08 cents per point). That means that transferring Bilt points gets you 1.39cpp (cents per point) of value, while transfers from Citi and Capital One get 1.04cpp of value.

It can occasionally be possible to get better value than that with Citi ThankYou points and Capital One miles courtesy of transfer bonuses. Capital One ran a solitary transfer bonus of 20% back in November 2022, while Citi offered a 50% bonus in November 2023 and again in May 2024. At current exchange rates, if Citi runs another 50% transfer bonus in 2025 then you’d be getting 1.56cpp of value on that 1,000:750 basis.

Suite upgrades:

*Are you sure you get these if comped? They are actually milestone rewards, it just happens that the milestone is the same points target that gets you Platinum

*Even so, I doubt you can combine with FHR credit as you need to book off the Accor website to use them

* Upside is that you book directly into the suite and pay the rate of a room 2 categories below so you know you get it (at the brands which take part)

Real benefit is that Accor does not (ironically) give out status easily and the hotels do respect it.

How difficult is it to use the suite upgrades? I’m not familiar with the Accor program, but I am (painfully) familiar with Marriott’s version of this, and the near impossibility of actually using their version of upgrades when I want to.

I’m Platinum but feel doesn’t worth it to be Platinum because everyone I met was Platinum. The lounge is pathetic even at Sofitel, their luxury brand.

Vince

Terms of the Suite Upgrade certs are they expire the year after they are earned — earned in 2025, expire 12/31/26 so that adds some cushion to the potential value

  • Under the Deal section, mistake in Bilt Silver – Redeem 5,000 Bilt points for ALL Gold status, not 2,000
Grant

I’ll take the free status match to Silver. I don’t keep much of a Bilt point balance, so won’t be able to upgrade to Gold.

Chris

A small clarification for you: All Platinum and Diamond members do get daily complimentary breakfast in APAC. Not sure why they make life complicated with rules like this!
