Why BILT 2 Travel
Not the loudest voice in travel rewards. The most trusted.

Meet the founder
“I booked a $2,400 all-inclusive in Jamaica and only paid $500 out of pocket. From there, it only got better.”
Hi, I’m Dwight, founder and instructor of BILT 2 Travel. After that first Jamaica trip, I took a five-day trip to Playa del Carmen and a separate four-day trip to Cancun without paying for the stay, flew round-trip to Maui for two for under $35, and enjoyed free nights at the Waldorf Astoria in Maui. I built the Playbook so beginners can do the same, responsibly.
