FAQ for Selling Airline Miles for Cash in 2026:

Can I really sell my airline miles for cash?

Yes. We purchase eligible airline miles and pay you cash after verification. You submit a quote request, we evaluate your account and balance, and we return a live market offer.

Example:
If you submit 100,000 miles from a major airline, a realistic broker payout range is typically:

$600 to $1,500

The exact number depends on airline demand, timing, and package size.

Nothing is binding until you accept.


Which airline miles do you buy?

We actively buy miles from major global programs, including:

  • Delta Air Lines SkyMiles

  • United Airlines MileagePlus

  • American Airlines AAdvantage

  • British Airways Avios

  • Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer

  • Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards

Minimum sale packages are usually 40,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on the program.

Example:
Selling 50,000 miles typically produces an estimated payout of:

$300 to $750


How much do you pay per mile?

Most airline miles trade in the secondary market around:

$0.006 to $0.015 per mile

Higher demand airlines and larger mile balances trend toward the top of the range.

Quick math examples:

  • 60,000 miles → $360 to $900

  • 100,000 miles → $600 to $1,500

  • 150,000 miles → $900 to $2,250

  • 200,000 miles → $1,200 to $3,000

These reflect common broker market behavior, not fixed pricing.


What might I realistically get by airline?

Here are illustrative payout expectations sellers often ask about:

Airline ProgramHypothetical Broker RangeExample Estimate
Delta SkyMiles$0.006 to $0.012100k → $600 to $1,200
United MileagePlus$0.006 to $0.01375k → $450 to $975

Southwest Rapid Rewards$0.0065 to $0.01350k → $325 to $650

Actual quotes move with buyer demand and volume.


What are realistic quote questions people ask?

Here are the exact kinds of questions we receive, with practical hypothetical answers:

“How much would you pay for 100,000 Delta miles?”
→ Expected estimate: $600 to $1,200

“What’s the offer for 75,000 United miles?”
→ Expected estimate: $450 to $975

“Can you quote 150,000 Avios?”
→ Expected estimate: $900 to $1,950

“What would 60,000 American miles sell for?”
→ Expected estimate: $420 to $840

“Do bulk Singapore miles get better pricing? I have 200,000.”
→ Expected estimate: $1,400 to $3,000

“Is it worth selling 50,000 Southwest points?”
→ Expected estimate: $325 to $650

These numbers reflect realistic mid‑market expectations.


Do larger mile packages get better pricing?

Yes. Volume matters.

Selling 120,000+ miles often improves per‑mile rates.

Example comparison:

  • 50,000 miles → ~$0.007 per mile → $350

  • 200,000 miles → ~$0.012 per mile → $2,400

Wholesale economics favor bigger packages.


How fast do I get paid?

After verification and transfer:

Most payments complete within 24 to 72 hours.

Larger transactions may require additional confirmation but still process quickly.


Are quotes from The Points King binding?

No. Submitting a quote is completely risk‑free.

Example:
If you request a quote and we offer $1,050 for 100k miles, you are free to decline with zero obligation.


What affects my payout?

Your offer is influenced by:

  • Airline demand at that moment

  • Market inventory levels

  • Size of your mileage balance

  • Buyer availability

Example:
A 100k mile package might quote $700 on a slow week or $1,100+ during peak demand.


Bottom line — what should sellers realistically expect?

Most sellers fall into these practical brackets:

Miles SoldTypical Expectation
50k$300 to $750
100k$600 to $1,500
150k$900 to $2,250
200k$1,200 to $3,000

Larger balances + strong airline demand = better outcomes.

The only way to know your exact payout is to request a live quote based on current market pricing updated for 2026.
