What exclusive benefits do I get as part of the Bilt x Equinox partnership?
Bilt members get several exclusive benefits as part of the partnership:
- Members who join Equinox can choose a limited-time bonus welcome offer as part of the sign-up process: either 10,000 bonus Bilt Points, a complimentary 60-minute personal training session, or a complimentary 50-minute spa service.

Can Bilt members get the Bilt welcome offer if they sign up at an Equinox club directly?
Yes. Bilt members who sign up for Equinox memberships outside of the Bilt app will receive an email offering them the choice of welcome offer.
I signed up at a club directly, but I haven't been offered a signup bonus. What should I do?
If you sign up at a club directly, you must create an EQX+ account. Creating an EQX+ account tells Bilt you have an account, and you will receive an email to select your sign-up bonus 1-2 days after your EQX+ account is created.
How do I use my Bilt welcome bonus?
If you sign up for a new Equinox membership through the Bilt app and are eligible to select your welcome bonus, you will be able to choose from three options during sign up:
- 10,000 bonus Bilt Points: Your Bilt Points will be deposited into your Bilt account on the day your membership begins.
- Complimentary personal training session: You can view your complimentary training session in the Profile section of the EQX+ app. Once you complete your Equifit assessment, it will be automatically applied to any future, eligible personal training session bookings.
- Complimentary spa service: Book a service via the Bilt app or the Equinox app. You can view your complimentary spa service in the spa section of the EQX+ app, and it will automatically be applied to eligible bookings at the time of service.
Do my complimentary spa service or personal training session expire?

What if I want to cancel my Equinox membership?
You may cancel in club with a club manager, via mail as described in your Membership Agreement, by emailing Cancellations@Equinox.com, or by logging into your account on Equinox.com. Notice periods vary by state and in some states, there may be additional cancellation methods available, please review your Membership Agreement for requirements specific to your Membership. In certain states, if you cancel soon after an increase in Membership Dues, you may have additional rights.
If you are going on an extended vacation or unable to use the club for a brief period, we recommend that you freeze your membership, instead of cancelling. To inquire about placing your membership on freeze or for a copy of your Membership Agreement, please contact Concierge@equinox.com.
What if I already have an Equinox membership?

What if I want to upgrade my Equinox membership?
If you already have an Equinox membership and wish to upgrade your membership, navigate to the ‘Manage’ section of your Equinox membership. You may then select your preferred membership. Note: all prices shown are estimations. Equinox will confirm your upgrade and price within 3-5 business days.
Redeeming Bilt Cash for Equinox Credits
How do I redeem Bilt Cash for Equinox credits?
Eligible Bilt Members can redeem Bilt Cash for Equinox credits on a biannual basis (twice per year). To redeem, visit the Wallet tab and find the Equinox credit redemption option. If you have enough Bilt Cash to redeem and you have not already redeemed your credit for the period, it will be available to be redeemed.
How much Bilt Cash can I redeem for Equinox credits?
Your redemption amount is based on your Bilt member status:
| Status | Credit Amount | Frequency |
| Blue | $75 | 2x per year |
| Silver | $100 | 2x per year |
| Gold | $150 | 2x per year |
| Platinum | $150 | 2x per year |
If you do not have enough Bilt Cash to redeem the full credit amount and you have more than the minimum redemption amount ($50) you will be able to redeem the balance of your Bilt Cash for a credit of a lower amount, but you will forfeit the remaining value of the credit. See Bilt Cash FAQ for more information.
What can I use my Equinox credits for?
Equinox credits can be applied toward the following services:
- Treatments at The Spa
- Personal Training sessions
- Studio Pilates sessions
Credits cannot be applied toward general club membership dues or other services not listed above.
When can I redeem my Bilt Cash for an Equinox credit?
Credits will be available for redemption twice per year. One credit will be available to be redeemed from Jan 1-June 30th of a calendar year, and one credit will be available to be redeemed July 1 to December 31st of a calendar year.
When do my available Equinox credits expire?
Credits are available to be redeemed on a biannual basis, one from Jan 1- June 30th of the calendar year, one from July 1-December 31 of the calendar year. Available credits won’t roll over and will expire if not used during the eligible period.
Do the credits expire once I have redeemed my Bilt Cash for them?
Yes. If you redeem your Bilt Cash for an Equinox credit but do not use the credit for an eligible booking within the half-year period, your credit expires. That means a credit redeemed on January 3rd would expire on June 30th. Likewise, a credit redeemed on July 4th would expire on December 31 of this year.
If my Bilt status increases (ex. From Blue to Silver) - do I receive an additional $50 in EQX credits?
If your Bilt status changes and you have not yet redeemed your credit for the period, the amount of Bilt Cash you can redeem for Equinox credit will increase corresponding to your status change. If you have already redeemed your credit for the period, you will not receive additional credit for the period, but you will receive the increased credit amount during the next period.
