American Express and Bilt separate themselves from other programs with an exclusive search partnership with Point.me.
Consider yourself lucky if you’re a member of the AmEx or Bilt network.
No more spending hours searching airlines one at a time.
Or using free third-party tools that are out-of-date.
Don’t get me wrong, those tools are helpful… but I want as close to 100% certainty whenever possible. 😉
And AmEx and Bilt are listening!
Both have an exclusive partnership with Point.me.
Well, Bilt has had this since January 2023… but AmEx is joining the party with their dedicated site going live two weeks ago.
(That’s early March 2024 if you’re keeping track.)
Does that mean these two cards are better than others?
No.
Because that is a totally different thing.
This partnership makes finding the best redemption options with transfer partners easier… and more accurate.
This is super nice if you’re like me — and hate paying for another service.
How to use it
Have an AmEx card?
I’ve put together a full guide on how to use Point.me if you’re an American Express cardholder:
👉 How to Find AmEx Reward Flights with Point.me
Have a Bilt card?
It’s integrated directly within the Bilt app itself.
Make sure you have the most up-to-date version. You should see the “Powered by Point.me” when you’re searching.
If you don’t have either of these cards…
You can leverage the free tool that I discussed in a previous article: Seats.aero.
