Quick Thoughts
Bilt ran a similar deal last month where they offered 500 Bilt Rewards points for linking your American Airlines account in their app. You only need 2,000 Bilt points to be able to transfer to travel partners like Hyatt and American Airlines, so if you took AAdvantage of that previous offer and do this same Hyatt offer, you’ll be halfway to having enough points to transfer.
Bilt normally offers 100 points for linking your hotel and airline loyalty accounts in their app, so these hopefully-to-be-monthly deals provide quintuple the number of points. In that previous post about linking your American Airlines account, I suggested that people hold off on linking any other loyalty accounts in case Bilt offered similar deals in the future. For once I provided prescient advice, so I’d continue recommending only linking accounts when they’re juicing the rewards for doing so.
Something to bear in mind is that the points you’re earning are Bilt Rewards points, not Hyatt points. Well, not yet anyway; as mentioned earlier, once you have 2,000+ Bilt points you’ll be able to transfer them to eligible travel partners.
500 points isn’t a huge win, but it is quick and easy. If you don’t have a Bilt Rewards account yet, it only takes a minute or two to set up. If you do have a Bilt account, linking your Hyatt account should take you 30 seconds or less. On the app’s home page, tap the ‘Hotels’ menu button near the top, then tap the World of Hyatt logo. Enter your Hyatt account number and name and you’re done – 500 Bilt Rewards points will immediately post to your account; you just need to refresh the page to see the points total get updated in the top-left corner.
Don’t worry if you’re not a renter – Bilt lets you set up a Bilt Rewards account and earn these points even if you don’t rent and/or don’t plan on getting their credit card.

[…] I did sign up for a free Bilt account to check out the app and the content. I even earned 500 Bilt points by linking my World of Hyatt account. Those points are of limited use because you need at least 2,000 points for a transfer. Nothing […]
That was easy. Only stupid issue if that my Hyatt number ends in the letter O and I kept typing in the number 0 and wondering why it wasn’t working. D’oh!
The promo description in the app actually notes that WOH account numbers end in a letter, presumably cause you’re not the only one to have that problem!
Good to know I am not the only blind and/or illiterate person out there!
Did your Bilt app advertise that you would get 500 points prior to linking? I don’t see any indication of that, and I’m hesitant to do it so I don’t squander the bonus 400 points in case it’s targeted.
I found the promo described in the Bilt For You tab. Went ahead and linked to my Hyatt account and the 500 points showed up immediately.
The promo is titled “Bilt Members Can Now Save up to 15% on Hyatt Stays” and I see the 500 points information buried within the article.
