This will likely be really live around May 1 and it may have a transfer bonus then too. I don&#8217;t want to tell you how to feel about this integration, but I will say I&#8217;m quite excited personally.<br \/><br \/>Why talk about it now if it&#8217;s not fully online yet? So you&#8217;ve got time to earn Bilt points for a possible transfer bonus in a week and a half.
