How to get ALL Accor status with Bilt Points on August 1st
Reading Time: 6 minMy cards have been linked to Bilt for years now, mostly so I can earn points on rent and dinner without thinking about it. Once a month, though, Bilt gives me a reason to actually pay attention.
On the first day of every month — known as Rent Day — Bilt runs a promotion with one of its travel partners. This August’s is a unique one for anyone planning to stay at an Accor property. With a special status match offer, Bilt members will have the opportunity to receive up to Platinum status within the ALL Accor program.
If Accor isn’t on your radar, it’s worth knowing the portfolio — Fairmont, Sofitel, Raffles, and Mercure all sit under the Accor Live Limitless (ALL) umbrella, with the heaviest presence in Europe and Asia.

The loophole I use to get 5x on almost every purchaseEarning points with Bilt
The reason I’ve stuck with Bilt is the Bilt Neighborhood Benefits program, which lets you earn points whenever you shop at partner merchants with any credit or debit card linked to your Bilt account — you don’t even need a Bilt credit card.
If you aren’t signed up for the Bilt program yet, joining is free, and it takes just a few minutes to enroll and link your cards to your account. To sign up, all you need to do is go to Bilt’s website and click the “Sign up” button.

Once your credit and debit cards are linked to Bilt, you’ll earn bonus points every month when you shop at eligible merchants without having to even think about it. This includes local restaurants, Walgreens, Lyft, and participating workout studios and classes.
Earning with Walgreens
One of my favorite ways to earn Bilt Points is through Walgreens. Thanks to Bilt’s partnership, you’ll earn 2 points for every dollar you spend on Walgreens-branded products, and 1 point per dollar on everything else in the store — as long as you pay with a card linked to your account, or use a phone number tied to your Bilt account at checkout. That’s on top of any rewards you earn from your credit card.
Earning by dining out
Bilt Dining is another great way to rack up bonus points, with over 20,000 partner restaurants across the country. Depending on the restaurant, you can earn up to 3 extra points for every dollar you spend when dining out. Just make sure to pay with a linked credit or debit card.

Earning with Lyft
As a Bilt member, when you connect your Lyft account to Bilt Neighborhood Benefits, you’ll automatically earn 2 points for every dollar you spend on all Lyft rides.

Use your Bluetooth headphones with any airplane seatback screen
While some airlines like Delta and United are beginning to introduce Bluetooth-enabled inflight entertainment systems, widespread adoption is still years away. That means it's nearly impossible to use your own headphones or earbuds with your plane’s seatback screen. Or is it? We’ve found a simple and affordable gadget that plugs into a standard airplane headphone jack and pairs your wireless headphones effortlessly. Whether you're on a long-haul flight or just a short domestic hop, this device ensures a seamless, wire-free audio experience.

Bilt Rewards offers multiple ways to redeem your points. But you’ll usually get the best value by transferring them to Bilt’s airline and hotel partners and using them for travel.
With 19 airlines and 7 hotel transfer partners, there’s a slew of options when it comes to redeeming your points, including popular programs like United, Atmos Rewards (Alaska and Hawaiian), Southwest, Air France/KLM, British Airways, Japan Airlines, Marriott Bonvoy, World of Hyatt, and Wyndham Rewards.
That means your points can go a long way, especially since most of Bilt’s partners transfer at a 1:1 ratio, meaning 1 Bilt Point transfers to 1 point in the corresponding airline or hotel program. Accor is one of the exceptions, though: It transfers at 3:2 — which matters quite a bit for this month’s offer.
Rent Day status match offer
To take advantage, you’ll need to transfer a set number of Bilt Points to ALL Accor. Both the number of points required and the status you land depend on your current Bilt Rewards tier:
- Blue member: Match to ALL Accor Silver status
- Silver member: Match to ALL Accor Silver status
- Gold member: Match to ALL Accor Gold status
- Platinum member: Match to ALL Accor Platinum status
For those eligible for Silver or Gold status, you’ll need to transfer 5,000 Bilt Points to ALL Accor. Members will then receive an email within 24 to 48 hours with a personal link to complete a form to receive the status. Once activated, your Silver or Gold status will be valid for 12 months.
However, if you’re eligible for Platinum status, you’ll need to transfer 15,000 Bilt Points to unlock this higher level option. Your status will be updated automatically within 5 business days and will remain active through December 31st, 2027.
One thing worth knowing before you decide: Those points aren’t spent, they’re converted. At Bilt’s 3:2 rate, 5,000 Bilt Points lands as 3,333 Accor points and 15,000 becomes 10,000. Accor points carry a fixed value of roughly €20 per 1,000 toward the cost of a stay, so the Platinum transfer works out to about €200 in hotel credit alongside the status itself.
ALL Accor status benefits
Through this status match, Bilt members can receive Silver, Gold, or Platinum status. Unfortunately, there’s no path to Diamond status here.
Similar to most programs, Silver status (the program’s lowest elite tier) doesn’t offer too many benefits. You’ll receive a welcome drink, dedicated check-in line, late checkout, and a 24% bonus on points earned.
Gold status includes all of the Silver benefits, plus guaranteed room availability, a room upgrade when available, either early check-in or late checkout, and a 48% bonus on points earned.
For those eligible for Platinum status, this is where you’ll receive the most worthwhile perks. In addition to the perks listed above, you’ll receive lounge access, both early check-in and late checkout, complimentary breakfast in Asia-Pacific hotels (excluding Georgia and Kazakhstan), and a 76% bonus on points earned.
If you decide to take advantage of this promotion, know that it’s only valid on Saturday, August 1st, 2026, from 12:00 a.m. ET through 11:59 p.m. PT. Bilt notes that transfers are usually instant but can take up to 48 hours, so if you don’t already have an ALL account, create one now and link it to Bilt rather than waiting until the last minute.
Taking the status match one step further with Qatar
Not only can this promotion earn you Accor status, but it can also ultimately unlock Qatar status, since the two programs are offering a joint fast-track status match opportunity.
Through that partnership, you’ll be eligible for the following Qatar status for 12 months, even if you earned your Accor status through this Bilt promotion:
- ALL Accor Platinum status = Qatar Privilege Club Gold status
- ALL Accor Gold status = Qatar Privilege Club Silver status
Additionally, Qatar Gold status also gets you oneworld Sapphire status, which unlocks many business-class airport lounges around the world.
Two catches: You won’t receive the reciprocal Qatar status until after completing your first eligible Qatar flight, and Qatar caps how many of these fast-track upgrades it awards each year — reportedly around 3,100 Gold slots for 2026. If the year’s allotment is gone by the time you fly, the match won’t post.
And if Qatar is where you’re headed anyway, Privilege Club is a Bilt transfer partner in its own right — Bilt Points move to Avios at 1:1.
Why Bilt is a smart addition to your points strategy
There’s no reason not to join Bilt Neighborhood Benefits, especially since it’s free. With an easy-to-use program and valuable rewards, plus over two dozen loyalty partners and generous transfer bonus opportunities, Bilt gives you plenty of ways to turn your points into travel experiences.
Personally, I earn Bilt Points every month just by keeping my credit cards linked to the program. Then, when the right travel opportunity comes along, I transfer those points to one of Bilt’s many partners for serious value.
While this isn’t nearly as good as some of the transfer bonuses we’ve seen in the past, if you have any plans on staying at an Accor hotel or flying Qatar, this is an easy and low-cost way to earn status.
