Southwest Rapid Rewards added as 1:1 transfer partner

No partner → 1:1 permanent partner

On April 24, 2025, Bilt added Southwest Rapid Rewards as its 19th transfer partner at a 1:1 ratio, making Bilt the first currency other than Chase Ultimate Rewards to transfer to Southwest, whose co-brand cards are exclusive to Chase. Transfers initially processed in batches twice a day rather than instantly, with real-time transfers promised later. Frequent Miler valued Southwest points at roughly 1.3 cents each under the program's dynamic pricing, so the partner adds coverage rather than outsized value. The addition is permanent and structural.

What to do: Compare against booking Southwest through Bilt Travel at 1.25 cents before transferring; allow for batch processing time.
