Yeah, the "8760 Experiences" from Wheels Up are pretty great - suite access to Bruce Springsteen, Adele, Kanye, Beyonce, and Billy Joel concerts in the app right now, although most are sold out now. They also have pretty decent partnerships (e.g. MLife Platinum status, Hertz President's Circle, and 2 nights free at a bunch of different resorts).

The empty legs are pretty sparse compared to JetSmarter and seem to be substantially based on the East Coast. I've had demo access to the app for about a week and haven't seen a flight I'd consider taking.
