The Points Tool You've Always Wanted

Flying Blue has increased taxes and surcharges on award flights operated by Air France and KLM. These fees were already high on routes to and from Europe and have now risen by about $60 round trip in economy and roughly $200 in business class. You can now expect to pay close to $1,000 in surcharges for a round trip business class award to Europe. If you can find availability on Delta-operated flights through Flying Blue, taxes are much lower, starting at $33.50 one way in economy. Japan Airlines is another partner option with similar award pricing and very low surcharges, though business class availability is scarce. Economy options are much easier to find.

US Bank Business Altitude Connect is offering 75,000 miles after spending $6,000 in 4 months. That’s up 15,000 miles over their standard offer of 60,000 miles with the same spending requirement. The annual fee is $0 for first year ,then $99.

Bilt’s April 2026 Rent Day promotion includes a transfer bonus to Wyndham Rewards. Platinum members receive a 100% bonus, Gold 75%, Silver 50%, and Blue 25%, with the option to boost the bonus by an additional 25% by redeeming $125 in Bilt Cash. The offer is valid only on April 1, 2026. While Wyndham has some sweet spots, we don’t view this as a particularly strong use of Bilt points, especially with better transfer partners available and Wyndham currently selling points for 0.65¢ each.

Bilt is partnering with Points Path to show both cash and points pricing in its flight search results. For now, searches are limited to one-way flights on select Bilt transfer partners and only include flights operated directly by each airline. Economy results are shown by default, though premium cabins are also available. While the tool has potential, we still recommend verifying award pricing directly with the airline before transferring points.
