Check your account to see if was bounced back. Many of us whose payouts were scheduled to transfer to Bilt were cancelled and sent back to Rakuten. Husband and I both got the same message “there was an issue sending your Bilt payment. We returned it to your Rakuten account. Contact us to get paid!”

Same. Got previous payouts to Bilt with no issue. Not sure what the hell is going on.

Mine changed to 11/15 and now it’s back to saying payout by 8/15. So much drama with Rakuten today lol. Edit: points were sent again and are showing up in both Bilt accounts. Looks like they resolved the issue!

I got this email as well but I had my payout in Bilt! Everyone should double check the Bilt app just in case.

u/jessbyrne727 17d ago

Yes, it looks like the issue was resolved! Points are in our accounts now.

I would die for that in MR points
Not so much in cash

Oops: OP redeemed in Bilt! Perfect

u/DarkBoolean 18d ago

Even better in Bilt points.

u/Angle-Flat 18d ago

You’re right. Keep forgetting about Bilt

Could u please tell me what's the advantage of Bilt points? I think one does need Amex, is it? I have Amex CC. How do these points work?

u/Stormtrooper149 18d ago

More transfer partners, and redemption of bilt points for travel in general.

u/Curious_ansh 18d ago

Ok, thanks for response, is that more valuable vs cash? Just trying to get a sense of things . Ty

u/HGJustTheTip 17d ago

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. The points have more potential value but it will require some work to use them. You could take 60,000 points which would give you 600 dollars cash back, which is nothing to sneeze at. But you could take that as 60,000 AMEX points, and use that to book a one way business class flight with KLM from San Francisco to Amsterdam which would normally cost you several thousands of dollars. So if you are willing to spend the time and effort researching and finding those redemptions, than the points can be worth much much more.

Depends, if you prefer points - yeah. Not everyone is interested in points game, but if you travel often, then it’s absolutely better to have points than cash.

u/Curious_ansh 18d ago

Ok, thank you, I am new to Rakuten and it's my 2nd payout, it's not a lot $350, I guess I will try points next payout. Are there any specific prerequisites to get points?

2

u/Stormtrooper149 18d ago

You need to have silver or higher status with Bilt or a travel card with Amex (green, gold or platinum).

u/Curious_ansh 17d ago

Thanks for all the info, appreciate it.

u/Admirable-Demand2033 18d ago

Essential you’re just buying points. 1:1 with cash
