FIS Premium Payback Aims to Enhance Savings and Convenience for Bilt Members
Key Facts
- FIS’ award-winning Premium Payback solution has been selected by Bilt to let customers directly redeem their Bilt-issued reward points at participating merchants.
- Eligible Bilt Members will be empowered to use their rewards points easily at checkout, allowing them to save money instantly when shopping.
- Starting today, Bilt Mastercard cardholders will be the first to be able to redeem Bilt Points at the point of sale, with Bilt starting to roll out the solution to all eligible Bilt Members in the third quarter of 2025.
“The current economy is significantly increasing the demand for loyalty programs that maximize the utility of money, but inadequate technology can complicate the experience cardholders have when redeeming loyalty points, hindering the efficient movement of money,” stated Mladen Vladic, head of Products and Services for Loyalty at FIS. “Credit and debit cards continue to play a leading role in the payment experience as money moves between banks, consumers, businesses and beyond in a complex, never-ending cycle. In the fight for customer loyalty, every payment card program is a vital opportunity to seize competitive advantage and drive growth. We’re proud that FIS Premium Payback can help our clients – like Bilt – accomplish these goals.”
The Premium Payback solution from FIS seeks to drive more engaged cardholder behavior for its clients by connecting participating issuers with participating merchants to allow customers to redeem their points directly at the point of purchase, which can provide immediate savings. Displaying offers at the moment of checkout can provide cardholders with an instant benefit and can eliminate the delays and hassles of app sign-ups or downloads, which reduces friction at the point of purchase.
According to the 2024 Customer Loyalty Study from gift-giving company Snappy,
“We are constantly looking for ways to give our members more ways to redeem their points,” said Brandt Smallwood, chief strategy officer at Bilt. “FIS’ Premium Payback network will allow Bilt Members to redeem their Bilt Points to save on their purchases with some of their favorite merchants in their neighborhood.”
