Yes, The Points King buys Delta SkyMiles in balances of 60,000 or more, but selling breaks Delta’s SkyMiles Program Rules, and Delta can deduct the miles or close the account. We email a written price, you transfer the miles, and we pay by PayPal, usually within 15 minutes. The Points Guy values SkyMiles at 1.2 cents each (October 2026).
Key facts (checked October 13, 2026)
Before you sell: know the risk
Selling Delta SkyMiles is against Delta’s SkyMiles Program Rules. Delta says it will deduct miles from, or terminate, the account of a member who sells them, and we cannot promise how Delta will respond to a sale.

Why Should You Sell Your Delta Skymiles with The Points King?
Not sure whether to sell or fly? Start with how to redeem Delta miles, which gives a value per mile for each option, and our Delta SkyMiles Gold review if you hold the card. We also buy United miles and American AAdvantage miles. Every airline we buy is on the sell airline miles page.
You can sell Delta SkyMiles to a broker such as The Points King, but it is against Delta’s SkyMiles program rules. Whether a sale creates legal exposure beyond that depends on the facts and where you live. This page is not legal advice.
Submit a quote request with your SkyMiles balance.
We confirm your balance and the transfer steps by email. We never ask for your password.
You receive a cash offer based on current demand.
Once accepted, we complete the transaction and send payment.
This process is secure and straightforward.
To understand market context (not broker pricing): Delta SkyMiles are valued at about 1.2 cents per mile when used for flights, according to The Points Guy (October 2026).
That translates to approximate travel value of:
50,000 SkyMiles ≈ $600
100,000 SkyMiles ≈ $1,200
200,000 SkyMiles ≈ $2,400
These are award redemption values, not cash you’ll receive.
We do not publish a rate, because it moves with demand and with the size of the balance. Tell us how many miles you have and we email you a price in writing; the price we agree is the price we pay. For context, The Points Guy values Delta SkyMiles at 1.2 cents each for travel (October 2026), and a cash offer from any broker will be lower than that.
If you can use the miles for a flight worth more than our written offer, such as a round-trip business class ticket, flying is the better value. If you have no travel plans or cannot find award seats you want, selling turns miles you would not use into cash.
Most customers are paid within 15 minutes of completing the transfer.
Delta’s program does not allow selling or transferring miles between members, so using a broker inherently involves risk. No broker can remove that risk. See the risk box above.
Under Delta’s rules, SkyMiles do not expire. If you choose to sell, the miles leave your account when you transfer them.
