Conclusion
This Bilt product in the US is gamifying credit card rewards with various monthly offers with significant conversion bonuses.
The 75% to 150% bonus to Virgin Atlantic/Virgin Red is good, and I find these miles more useful now that the airline is part of SkyTeam, and you can easily use them for partner awards.
Virgin Atlantic charges eye-wateringly high fuel surcharges (carrier surcharges) on their own awards, and partner awards are often a better deal. I am actually taking a long-haul Air France flight on Friday that was issued using Virgin Atlantic miles/points with a reasonable carrier surcharge.
