Bilt Rewards you just added another transfer partner to your list. That’s right, Bilt just added The free spirit of Spirit Airlines as a 1:1 transfer partner.
Bilt is now the only one transferable currency which can be transferred to the Free Spirit loyalty program. However, this addition is also timely, since just two days ago the airline got a lifeline of $100 million to stay afloat during its bankruptcy process. The airline has also secured new contracts with pilots and flight attendants that it says will support its long-term recovery.

Bilt Rewards noted in an email to publishers, including TPG, that “low-cost airlines combine to be the fourth most booked airline for Bilt members in the Bilt Travel Portalindicating a strong desire on the part of the member base to travel the country (and North America) as efficiently as possible. “Bilt is the first transferable currency to be transferred to a low-cost airline, allowing Bilt members even more flexibility to redeem points and travel in the style they want.”
And you could get Spirit flights for relatively few Bilt points. After all, Free Spirit redemptions start at just 2,500 points.
However, since The spirit is bankruptI highly recommend transferring Bilt points to Spirit only if you have immediate plans to book award travel within the next few weeks. This is because the airline’s route network and flight schedules may evolve as it moves toward bankruptcy.

Transferring Bilt points to Free Spirit might make sense if you only need a few more points to redeem. However, keep in mind that there is usually a most valuable way to redeem Bilt points. After all, TPG’s December 2025 ratings set the value of Bilt Rewards points at 2.2 cents each and Free Spirit points at 1.1 cents each. Consider whether transferring Bilt points to Free Spirit will provide the most value before making the transfer.
