Bilt has lost Hawaiian Airlines as a transfer partner, but is confident that the Alaska Airlines & Hawaiian merger will be approved (Bilt is a transfer partner of Alaska Airlines). Apparently this was the end of a three year deal that was signed and it didn’t make logistical sense to do a new deal.
As our original 3-year agreement came to a close with HA, we were confident as reported this morning that the merger with AS would be approved. Given we are the only transfer partner Alaska has at a 1:1 ratio, the ability to book Hawaiian with Bilt points should return shortly.

That makes sense, although it’s slightly strange that no advanced notice was given.
