It may not be that AA is raising the cost of their miles to Bilt, it may be that they simply are ending the program, for the reasons MIA listed.

That wouldn't support the idea that Bilt is unsustainable.

And whether you believe it or not, Bilt has claimed that they are already profitable (not really sure I believe it, at least without some accounting sleight of hand).
