Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly does The Points King do? We are a premier online mileage broker. We help individuals and businesses maximize the value of their travel rewards by buying unused airline miles and credit card points at competitive rates. Conversely, we also sell points and miles—including corporate-level amounts—to help you secure affordable luxury travel.
2. Is it legal to buy and sell airline miles? Yes, it is entirely legal. There is no law at the federal, state, or local level in the United States that prohibits the buying or selling of accumulated reward points or miles. While airlines heavily discourage the practice because it cuts into their profit margins—and it does violate the internal Terms and Conditions of most airline loyalty programs—it is not a legal issue. We use secure, proprietary methods to ensure your accounts remain safe throughout the transfer process.
3. How long does it take to get paid when I sell my points? We pride ourselves on speed and reliability. Once we verify your points or miles and agree on a competitive quote, you will get paid within 15 minutes and maximum same day.
4. How will I receive my payment? We process payments via a secure SSL PayPal transaction. This ensures that your funds are transferred quickly, safely, and with 100% buyer/seller protection.
5. How does the process of selling my miles work? Our process is designed to be completely frictionless:

6. Is my personal information and account data safe? Absolutely. Data security is our top priority. We employ strict privacy policies and never sell your data to third-party marketers. Your transaction details and account information are handled with bank-level discretion to protect the integrity of your loyalty accounts.
7. Can you accommodate large corporate accounts or group travel? Yes! If you need more miles to book first-class flights for your executive team, or if your business has accumulated millions of unused credit card points, we are equipped to handle corporate-level amounts efficiently and discreetly.
8. What types of points and miles do you buy? We buy a wide variety of premium reward currencies, including major credit card points (like Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, and Citi ThankYou Points) and frequent flyer miles from major domestic and international airlines (such as Delta SkyMiles, United MileagePlus, and American Airlines AAdvantage).
