SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Comparing Bilt Points redemptions against cash prices and award alternatives requires pulling live portal pricing, which normally means manual browsing. This Skill queries the public Bilt Rewards travel API directly to return cash and Bilt Points costs for hotels and flights without authentication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hotel Search with HaFH Detection: Query hotels by Google Places searchId and identify Home Away From Home properties worth $300+ in benefits for Bilt Gold/Platinum members.
  • Flight Search with Points Pricing: Submit flight searches and poll for Duffel-backed offers that include both cash totals and totalPointsRequired at the fixed 1.25 cpp portal rate.
  • CPP Comparison Workflow: Compute cents-per-point values to decide whether to redeem through the portal or transfer Bilt Points 1:1 to partners like Hyatt, United, or Aeroplan.
  • Use Case: Ask whether a Park Hyatt New York stay is better booked through the Bilt portal, transferred to World of Hyatt, or paid in cash, and get a table comparing all three with CPP math.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to search Bilt for hotels in New York from August 15 to 18 for 2 adults and show the cheapest options with cash, points, and CPP.

Frequently Asked Questions about bilt

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search Bilt Rewards travel portal without logging in?▼

Use the public REST API at api.biltrewards.com/public/travel, which requires no authentication for search. Call the hotels or flights search endpoints with curl, passing dates, guests, and a Google Places searchId for hotels.

What is the Bilt Points redemption rate in the travel portal?▼

Bilt Points redeem at a fixed 1.25 cents per point in the portal, meaning $1 equals 80 points. If transferring to a partner program yields more than 1.25 cpp, transferring is the better option.

Bilt vs Duffel for flight search, which should I use?▼

Bilt is whitelabel Duffel, so cash prices and offer shapes are identical. Use the Duffel skill for cash-only searches since it supports more parameters, and use Bilt only when you need Bilt Points pricing or HaFH hotel data.

What are Home Away From Home properties on Bilt?▼

Home Away From Home is Bilt's premium hotel program flagged by isHafh: true in API responses. Bilt Gold and Platinum members receive $300+ in benefits per stay, including breakfast, property credits, and room upgrades.

Can I book flights or hotels through the Bilt API?▼

No, the public API only returns search offers. Booking requires login and a Bilt Mastercard, which is outside the scope of this skill.

Why does Bilt flight search require polling?▼

Flight searches return batches asynchronously, with remainingBatches counting down over 5 to 15 seconds. Poll the search endpoint every 3 to 5 seconds until remainingBatches reaches 0 for the complete offer set.
