Frequent Miler on the Air · Sunday, July 12, 2026
A listener questioned why Bilt Rewards has not yet launched cash redemptions for Blacklane and Blade, nearly six months after they were first announced. Greg suggested that Bilt's timeline might differ from the listener's expectations, and that the delay is likely due to the complexity of finalizing the partnerships, rather than a deliberate delay tactic.
“Why does Bilt still have coming soon for Blacklane and... oh, Blade Bilt cash redemptions after nearly six months?”
“Well, I think Bilt might just have a different idea than 1990 about what coming soon means.”
“Um, but I I bet it took them longer to work out the deal with those those two vendors than they expected.”
