Bilt Rewards: what it is worth to Europe
We value Bilt Rewards at 1.8 cents per point for transatlantic awards. 1:1 to Aeroplan and Virgin Atlantic, the same two strongest partners Chase and Amex reach, plus Flying Blue, Turkish and Avios. Level with them on the strength of the best options rather than the length of the list.
