That means 10,000 Bilt points could become as many as 22,500 Japan Airlines miles. Japan Airlines business-class flights to Japan start at just 55,000 miles one-way, meaning a Platinum member needs only 25,000 Bilt points to cover that redemption.
Japan Airlines is a Oneworld alliance member and partners with several other airlines like Air France, JetBlue and Emirates. If a trip to Japan isn’t in your future, you can fly to Europe in economy class for as little as 12,000 Bilt points and just $5.60 in taxes and fees with the full 125% bonus.
We generally caution against transferring points speculatively, but this may be the one time to break that golden rule — especially if you’re dreaming of cherry blossom season in 2027 and have Bilt Rewards elite status or Bilt Cash to spend.
Just be sure to have a specific redemption in mind, since transfers cannot be reversed and Japan Airlines Mileage Bank accounts must be at least 60 days old to redeem (though Bilt members with newer accounts face only a seven-day hold after transfer).
We expect this transfer to be very popular, so don’t delay in doing your research and deciding whether this offer is for you.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to get the most from this airline transfer bonus, as well as some additional resources to help you prepare for a rewarding Bilt Rent Day on Sunday:
