[Leak] Rakuten Factors To Be Convertible To Bilt

Procuring portal Rakuten presently helps you to convert factors into cashback or American Categorical factors (this was added in 2019 when Rakuten was referred to as Ebates). However in accordance with this web page you may switch factors to Bilt. Curiously that web page lists each Bilt & American Categorical so seems like Bilt can be along with American Categorical fairly than it changing American Categorical. 

Sadly it’s not doable to arrange this new switch.  The phrases do state the next:

Be aware you could’t swap immediately between Bilt and American Categorical Membership Rewards factors. If you wish to swap from Bilt to Membership Rewards factors or vice versa, select PayPal or Huge Fats Verify first, then choose Bilt or Membership Rewards factors.

However deciding on massive fats verify after which altering doesn’t work. We additionally don’t have any info on switch charges. I’d be shocked if it wasn’t $1:100 factors just like the American Categorical possibility however no ensures. 

There are a lot of the reason why individuals would possibly choose Bilt to American Categorical together with Bilt switch bonuses and differing switch companions (e.g Hyatt & Alaska each 1:1).
