Welcome to Miles & Points Daily, your daily dose of travel rewards news and tips! I'm Lucas, and today we've got some exciting updates that could help you travel smarter and save more.
First up, there's a fantastic opportunity coming up with Bilt Rewards. As reported by View from the Wing and several other sources, Bilt's June first Rent Day promotion is offering an incredible transfer bonus of up to 200% when converting Bilt points to Accor Live Limitless. This could get you up to 4.55 cents per point in value, making it an excellent time to book those aspirational Fairmont and Raffles properties.
In airport news, San Francisco International has made some interesting changes to improve the passenger experience. They've managed to cut 90 minutes of daily noise by targeting unnecessary announcements and centralizing their paging system. According to View from the Wing, they've reduced paging by 40% since 2020, making the terminal experience much more peaceful.
For those interested in credit card opportunities, there's an impressive offer on the American Express Business Platinum Card. One Mile at a Time reports you can earn 150,000 Membership Rewards points plus a 500 dollar statement credit. If you're eligible for business cards, you can apply through the link in our shownotes.
Here's an interesting tidbit about Chase's 5/24 rule, which has been extensively covered this week by multiple sources including The Points Guy and Frequent Miler. If you're new to miles and points, this rule means Chase won't approve you for most of their cards if you've opened five or more credit cards with any bank in the past 24 months. It's crucial to plan your credit card strategy around this restriction.
