The Points King has expertise in two primary areas: online mileage brokerage to sell airline miles in 2026, and credit card points selling. Read below to get a full idea of our range of miles and points services and how we can help serve you today:
This is a common question in the airline miles buying and selling business. The basic 5 step process below will you an idea on the definition of an online mileage broker:
Another common question in this industry is can a traveler simply buy a first class ticket from a mileage broker? (Instead of going through the miles transfer process). The answer is yes, in a slightly roundabout way. Once a traveler’s account is verified, he or she simply buys the miles from a mileage broker, receives the miles, and can then immediately buy the first class ticket they are seeking. It is also a great way to get cheap first class tickets!
There are a number of online mileage brokers operating. Before choosing one, ask four questions of any of them, including us: who pays first and by what method, what is the rate per mile in writing before I transfer anything, what is your registered legal entity and where can I verify it, and where can I read reviews you did not write yourself. A broker who cannot answer all four plainly is not one to transact with.
Two separate questions get blurred together here, so let us separate them.
Legality: there is no United States law that prohibits selling frequent flyer miles. In that sense it is legal.
Program rules: that is a different matter. Delta, United, American, Marriott, Hilton and American Express all prohibit the sale or barter of miles and points in their published program terms. Each reserves the right to close the account, deduct the balance, and void award tickets already issued.
The risk sits with the account holder. It is your contract with the program, so no broker can indemnify you against your own airline, and any broker who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. What we can do is carry the counterparty risk on our side: we pay by PayPal before you transfer, and we give you a rate in writing before you commit to anything.
We have written the full breakdown, with links to each program’s own terms, in our guide to whether you can sell airline miles in 2026. Read it before you decide.
The credit card point industry is quite vast, with tons of new credit card offers and reward programs being offered on a constant basis. As such, many credit card holders have massive amounts of reward points piling up, and are looking to offload them. We offer the option to buy your credit card points at great rates.

Fill out our simple online form in order to receive an instant quote. Simply indicate which airline miles you want to sell or buy, how many you are selling or buying, and your email so that can send back an automated price quote for your airline miles or credit card points.
We review your request and send back a cash quote in writing, usually the same day, and will send you back a cash quote for your airline miles or credit card points. In certain cases (if over 5 million miles or points) we may need to verify you to continue the process. We also offer phone and email support throughout the process.
After you receive our cash quote for your airline miles or credit card points, you can decide to move forward and complete the process. After you transfer the miles we release the funds into PayPal with 100% buyer protection – all within 15 minutes. You will then have your cash (or miles) depending on if you are buying or selling.
