# Maximize Your Bilt Points: A Step-by-Step Guide to Transferring Bilt Points to ALL
If you’re looking to unlock exceptional hotel stays at some of the world’s most luxurious properties, transferring your Bilt points to Accor Live Limitless (ALL) might be your best move. Here’s everything Bilt cardholders need to know about making the most of this partnership.
## What is Accor Live Limitless?
Accor Live Limitless, commonly known as ALL or A COR, is a free loyalty program from Accor Hotels. The program provides rewards and benefits across a diverse portfolio of over 50 hotel brands worldwide.
While many Americans may not recognize all the brand names, travelers to Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia will encounter some truly exceptional properties, including:
– Raffles
– Novotel
– Fairmont
– And many more luxury brands
## How ALL Points Work
The ALL program operates differently from most hotel loyalty programs. Every single point has a fixed value of €0.02 (2 euro cents) per point.
This straightforward pricing model means booking a free night is simple: just divide the hotel’s cost by 0.02 to determine how many points you need.
**Key advantages:**
– No complex award charts to navigate
– Transparent, predictable redemption values
– Flexibility to use points for partial stays
– No requirement to have enough points for an entire free night
You can subsidize your stay as much or as little as you want based on your available points — including points you’ve transferred from Bilt.
## Why Transfer Bilt Points to ALL?
Bilt offers the best transfer ratio in the market for Accor points. For every 3,000 Bilt points you transfer, you receive 2,000 ALL points.
This 3:2 ratio from Bilt is significantly better than competitors, who typically offer only a 2:1 transfer ratio. This advantage alone makes transferring Bilt points the superior choice for accessing Accor properties.
## How to Book Hotels Using ALL Points
### Step 1: Search for Your Hotel
Start by visiting all.com and logging into your ALL account. Enter your destination and travel dates to see available properties with their cash prices displayed. (Remember, any points you use here will be ALL points — e.g., points you transferred from your Bilt account.)
### Step 2: Review Your Options
The search results will show revenue prices for available hotels. Remember, to calculate the points needed, divide the displayed price by 0.02.
For example, a hotel priced at $591.67 would require approximately 29,584 ALL points for a completely free stay (accounting for euro to dollar exchange rates).
### Step 3: Select Your Room
Click on your chosen hotel to view details and room options. Select the room type that fits your needs.
### Step 4: Proceed to Checkout
Continue through the booking process. The system may offer upgrades, which you can skip if you prefer to see the final points calculation first.
### Step 5: Apply Your Points
On the final payment screen, you’ll see the option to “pay with reward points” displayed in blue. This is where you can choose how many ALL points to apply — including points you transferred from Bilt.
The interface will show you exactly how much money you’ll save based on the number of points you use. You can apply all your points or just a portion, depending on your preference.
**Important note:** The savings calculation accounts for the current euro to dollar exchange rate, so the exact conversion may vary slightly from the base 2 euro cents per point.
## How to Transfer Bilt Points to ALL
The transfer process from your Bilt account is straightforward:
1. Go to the Bilt website or open the Bilt app
2. Navigate to the Travel tab
3. Tap into the Transfer section
4. Find Accor Live Limitless (ALL) in the list of partners
5. Click “Enroll or Link Accounts”
6. Complete the linking process between your Bilt account and ALL
7. Transfer your desired amount of Bilt points
Once your Bilt and ALL accounts are linked and your Bilt points are converted to ALL points, you’re ready to start booking amazing hotels around the world.
## Real-World Example: Fairmont Banff Springs
Consider the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs in Canada, one of the most sought-after hotels in Banff. A one-night stay might cost $591.67 in cash.
If you transferred Bilt points into ALL, every 3,000 Bilt points becomes 2,000 ALL points. With 2,000 ALL points in your account (transferred from Bilt), you could save approximately $43 on this booking. If you had the full points required (around 29,584 ALL points, originally accumulated or transferred from Bilt), you could book the entire stay for free.
This flexibility allows Bilt cardholders to stretch points further by combining cash and points based on their available balance and budget.
## Maximizing Your Strategy with Bilt
To get the most value from transferring Bilt points to ALL:
**Plan ahead:** Research Accor properties in your desired destinations before transferring Bilt points.
**Calculate the value:** Divide hotel prices by 0.02 to understand exactly how many ALL points you’ll need after transferring from Bilt.
**Use partial redemptions:** Don’t feel pressured to book entirely with ALL points. Combining cash and points (including points transferred from Bilt) can be a smart strategy.
**Take advantage of Bilt’s superior ratio:** Remember that your 3:2 transfer ratio from Bilt gives you more buying power than other programs.
**Focus on high-value properties:** Luxury brands like Raffles and Fairmont often provide the best redemption experiences when using ALL points obtained from Bilt.
## The Bottom Line
Transferring Bilt points to Accor Live Limitless opens doors to exceptional hotel experiences worldwide. With a straightforward points valuation system, Bilt’s best-in-class transfer ratio, and the flexibility to use points however you choose, this partnership offers genuine value for travelers.
Whether you’re planning a stay at a historic Fairmont property or exploring boutique luxury brands across Europe and Asia, transferring Bilt points to ALL can help make those experiences more accessible and affordable for Bilt cardholders.
