Bilt Rewards Flying Blue Status Match
There is an interesting new Bilt Rewards Flying Blue status match launching today. Your Bilt status won't just get you increased transfer bonuses this time around, it can get you Flying Blue Gold status too this time around. That will net you SkyTeam Elite Plus as well, which will get you perks like priority boarding, extra baggage and lounge access (when flying internationally on a SkyTeam carrier). The downside is that this match does require a one-time 10K transfer to Flying Blue to work though. Let's take a look at this offer's details.
Status Match Offer Details
Starting Thursday, February 29th, Bilt Platinum Members can activate 12 months of Flying Blue Gold status.
How it works:
After qualifying for Bilt Rewards Platinum status, members can go to the elite status tab in the Bilt app and select ‘Elite Status Match’. There, members will activate the status match request with a one-click, 10,000 Bilt Point transfer.
Members will be notified by Bilt once your status request has been confirmed. This can take up to 3 business days from the request being activated. Flying Blue Gold status is good for 12 months upon being successfully activated.
All Bilt Platinum Members are currently eligible to enroll in this status match in 2024. To request status again, members will need to requalify for Bilt Platinum Status in 2025. Ex) If a member qualifies for Bilt Platinum in April 2024 and opts in for 12 months of status, they cannot get a second status match in May 2025 unless they have requalified for Bilt Platinum again in 2025.
In-app Experience:
- Bilt Platinum members will be able to receive 12 months of Flying Blue Gold status by activating a 10,000 point transfer
- Members can activate this through the elite status tab in the Bilt app and select ‘Elite status match’
- After activating, their status with Flying Blue will be confirmed within 3 business days

Bilt Rewards Flying Blue Status Match: ToP Thoughts
If you use the Flying Blue program pretty regularly already then I think this could make sense. If you rarely use the program then having to transfer 10K Bilt Rewards over could be a non starter. While it is nice to have a status bump, which could be helpful to Delta flyers domestically, it may not be worth $150 – $200 in stranded points to you. You will have to decide how much to value the status at and then decide it is worth the transfer. If you had planned on transferring points to Flying Blue for a booking already anyway then this Bilt Rewards Flying Blue status match came with perfect timing!
