Can you sell Brex points for cash? Yes: brokers, The Points King included, buy them. But Brex’s Rewards Terms say rewards “are not transferable to any third party,” and an attempted transfer is void. Brex itself pays 0.6 cents a point as cash and 1 cent a point on Brex Travel. A sale only makes sense when the written offer beats 0.6 cents, nobody at the company will book travel with the points, and the account holder accepts the risk.
I am Joseph Hellman-Benjamin. I have run The Points King since 2017, and we buy Brex points, so I have an interest in how you answer this question. That is why every number below comes from Brex’s own pages, linked, and why the risks come before the price. There are no affiliate links on this site.
Brex Points at a Glance
| Option | Value per point | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Brex Travel | 1 cent | Book flights and hotels through Brex Travel and pay with points |
| Cash back to a Brex business account | 0.6 cents | Account and card admins only |
| Statement credit | 0.6 cents | Card admins only; cannot be undone |
| Gift cards and other rewards | Varies | Brex shows a “going market rate” in the Rewards tab |
| Airline transfer | 1,500 points to 1,000 miles | Seven partners; one way, cannot come back to Brex |
| Sale to a broker | The price in a written quote | Against Brex’s terms; the risk stays with the company account |
Values are from Brex’s redemption page, read on October 12, 2026. Brex says your values may differ under your company’s agreement with Brex.
Airline transfers run at 1,500 points to 1,000 miles, one way, and gift cards are shown at a going market rate in the Rewards tab. Selling to a broker is against Brex’s terms, and the risk stays with the company account.
What Changed in 2026
- January 22, 2026: Capital One announced it would buy Brex for $5.15 billion in stock and cash (Capital One).
- April 7, 2026: Capital One completed the acquisition. Neither announcement mentioned the rewards program.
- As of October 12, 2026: No change to Brex points has been announced since the deal closed. Brex’s redemption page still shows 1 cent for travel and 0.6 cents for cash.
- Before 2026: Brex had already cut its cash value from 1 cent to 0.6 cents and made airline transfers less generous than 1:1, as Doctor of Credit reported.
If Capital One changes the program, cash values and transfer partners can move with little notice. Check the Rewards tab before you redeem or sell.
What Brex’s Rewards Terms Say
Four lines in the Brex Rewards Terms decide most of this question:
- Ownership. “Points are not your property,” and they “have no monetary value.”
- Transfers. Rewards “are not transferable to any third party or any other Brex Account.” Brex treats an attempted transfer as void.
- Misuse. A company that tries to “game or misuse” the program can be disqualified and “may lose any Rewards or Points.”
- Closing the account. “You may lose all accrued Rewards or Points when your account is terminated,” whether the company or Brex closes it.
So the honest summary is this: the points belong to the program, not to you, and Brex reserves the right to take them back. That risk sits with the company’s Brex account. No broker, including us, can take it off you, and I cannot promise how Brex or Capital One would respond to a sale.
Who Can Redeem Brex Points
Brex points sit in the company’s account, not with the employee who swiped the card. Brex’s support page says account admins, card admins and users given redeem permission can redeem; only admins can take cash back, and only card admins can take a statement credit. If you are an employee, the points are not yours to sell. If you are a founder or admin, check your own company’s policy before you ask anyone for a quote.
Brex also does not let you move points from one Brex account to another. The one route out is an airline transfer to a cardholder’s frequent flyer account, and those miles then follow the airline’s rules.
Is an Airline Transfer Better Than Cash?
Brex transfers to Emirates Skywards, Avianca LifeMiles, Singapore KrisFlyer, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, Aeromexico, Cathay Pacific Asia Miles and Qantas, usually at 1,500 Brex points for 1,000 miles.
The arithmetic: one airline mile costs you 1.5 Brex points. At the 0.6 cent cash value, that mile costs 0.9 cents of cash you gave up. So a transfer beats cash back only if you will use those miles for more than 0.9 cents each, and only if someone at the company will actually fly. Transfer when you have a specific award in view, never speculatively, because the miles cannot come back.
When Companies Sell Brex Points
- The company is closing its Brex account. Under the terms, unredeemed points can be lost at closure, so a decision has to be made first.
- Nobody travels. Brex Travel at 1 cent is worthless if no one books trips.
- Cash back is the only other option on the table. Then the comparison is simple: a written offer against 0.6 cents.
How to Decide
- Someone at the company travels: book through Brex Travel at 1 cent a point.
- You have a specific award on one of the seven airline partners: transfer, if that award is worth more than 0.9 cents a mile.
- You want cash and want no risk: take cash back at 0.6 cents.
- You want cash, the balance will go unused, and the admin accepts the risk: get a written quote and compare it to 0.6 cents. Read the risks of selling miles and points first.
How a Sale Works With The Points King
We buy balances of 50,000 points or more. You tell us the balance by email, we reply with a price per point in writing, and the price we agree by email is the price we pay. We send the transfer steps by email. Payment is by PayPal, usually within 15 minutes after we confirm the transfer. We do not publish a rate on this page because it changes, and an old number on a web page is not a quote.
Since Brex is now part of Capital One, you may also hold Capital One miles personally. Those are a different program with different rules: see selling Capital One miles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you sell Brex points?
Brokers buy them, including The Points King, but Brex’s Rewards Terms say rewards are not transferable to third parties and that an attempted transfer is void. The company account carries that risk.
How much are Brex points worth?
1 cent each on Brex Travel and 0.6 cents as cash back or a statement credit, according to Brex. Airline transfers run at 1,500 points to 1,000 miles.
Did Capital One change Brex rewards?
Not as of October 12, 2026. Capital One completed its purchase of Brex on April 7, 2026, and Brex’s redemption page still lists the same values. That can change, so check the Rewards tab.
What happens to Brex points if we close our account?
The terms say you may lose all accrued points when the account is terminated, whether you or Brex closes it. Redeem or decide before you close.
Can I move Brex points to another Brex account?
No. Brex does not support transfers between Brex accounts. The only way points leave is through a redemption or an airline transfer.
Can an employee sell Brex points?
No. The points belong to the company’s account, and only admins or users with redeem permission can redeem them.
