Are you wondering if you should sell travel rewards to a mileage broker - We've answered all your Questions

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is, “where can I sell my miles, and get a great value on them?” I understand the temptation of selling unwanted miles for cash. I always recommend selling airline miles to everyone who have accumulated them over the years and have no plans of using them. Why waste them when so much effort has been put in earning them? Yes, you don’t need them in the near future, because you’re not planning on flying anywhere, but there are so many people out there who might need them. There are so many unanswered questions when it comes to selling airline miles. We’re here to answer each the very common question “should I sell travel rewards to a mileage broker?”  

1. Selling Miles Is Not Against The Law

People are afraid of selling miles because they think it is against the law. Even though airlines discourage their passengers from selling airlines miles, it is technically not against the law anywhere in the United States except Utah. No one will be taken to court or prison if they are caught selling their airline miles. It does not work that way at all. The loyalty account is yours, you have earned those airline miles and you can do pretty much anything you want with them, including selling them.  

2. Do Mileage Brokers Give Good Value For Airline Miles

Mileage brokers are middlemen between you and the potential buyer. They scout for buyers that and get the price that you have agreed upon, so it is unfair to say that they don’t provide the best value for your miles. Mileage brokers are safe, reliable and extremely easy to work with. As a seller, you have to look for a mileage broker that fits your requirements, and then leave everything to him. Rest assured that you will be getting the best value for your miles. Mileage brokers have earned a good reputation over the years, and I don’t foresee them squandering it by not giving their best to their clients.  

3. How Do I Calculate The Value Of My Miles

On the mileage broker website, there is a mileage calculator that provides free quotes. All you have to do is enter the amount of airline miles that you’re hoping to sell and you’ll receive a free quote. This is a great advantage to anyone who wants to sell their miles because before they commit to a mileage broker, they know exactly how much their reward points are worth.  

4. How Will I Receive My Payment

Receiving money from a mileage broker is very easy and safe. Once they sell your reward points, you’ll transfer all your points to one of their accounts. Once that is done someone from their team will transfer the whole amount safely into your bank account. The entire transaction is extremely reliable and till date we have not heard of any fraudulent stories from anyone. As a seller, your job is to make sure you pick a mileage broker that has a good reputation and then leave the rest to him.
