Before you sell: know the risk

Selling Miles & More miles is against the Miles & More terms and conditions. The terms say trading in miles, including selling them, is forbidden, and Miles & More can reverse mileage credits, block or confiscate awards and end the membership. We cannot promise how Lufthansa or Miles & More will respond to a sale.

Price guarantee: the price per mile we agree with you in writing by email is the price we pay once your miles transfer is complete.

Our 3-Step Process to Cash Out & Sell Lufthansa Miles in 2026

Selling your Lufthansa miles is faster than a trans-Atlantic flight:

  1. Request a Quote: Submit your balance (minimum 50,000 miles). We specialize in large balances up to 1,000,000+.

  2. Verification: We verify your balance, and send you the details of what we need by email.

  3. Payment: You transfer the miles, and we pay by PayPal once we confirm the transfer. Most customers are paid within 15 minutes of completing the transfer.

Combined with the fleet of their subsidiaries, Lufthansa boasts the title of the largest airline in Germany and Europe.

This means a ton of Lufthansa Miles and More are racked up by passengers, hence the desire of many to sell their Lufthansa miles for cash.

Lufthansa is part of Star Alliance, so Miles & More miles can be earned and used on partner airlines such as United, Air Canada and Singapore Airlines. The member list changes, so check Star Alliance’s member page for the current one.

Lufthansa Miles and More

Miles & More is the frequent flyer program of Lufthansa and its sister airlines, including SWISS, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines.

Miles & More membership levels

Miles & More has three status levels above basic membership: Frequent Traveller, Senator and HON Circle Member. Status is now earned with Points, Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points, not with miles. At the time of writing, Miles & More lists Frequent Traveller at 650 Points and 325 Qualifying Points, Senator at 2,000 Points and 1,000 Qualifying Points, and HON Circle Member at 6,000 HON Circle Points. Award miles generally expire after 36 months, and Miles & More lists unlimited mileage validity as a Frequent Traveller benefit. The rules change, so check Miles & More’s status levels page for the current details.

Miles & More is a Star Alliance program, and we buy miles from two others: United and Turkish Airlines. For what miles are worth as travel before you sell, see how much airline miles are worth.

Our FAQ for Selling Lufthansa Miles in 2026:

  1. Is it legal to sell my Lufthansa Miles & More miles? Selling Miles & More miles is against the Miles & More program’s rules. Whether a sale creates legal exposure beyond that depends on the facts and where you live. This page is not legal advice.
  2. How does the 2026 “Dynamic Pricing” affect my mileage value? In the past, Lufthansa used a fixed award chart. Now, the number of miles required for a flight is loosely tied to the cash price of the ticket. This means that during peak travel seasons, your miles lose significant purchasing power. By selling to The Points King, you lock in a stable cash rate based on the wholesale market value, bypassing the volatility of the airline’s pricing algorithms.
  3. Will selling my miles affect my Frequent Traveller, Senator, or HON Circle status? It can. Lufthansa can close an account it links to a sale, and status goes with the account. See the risk box above.
  4. What is the minimum amount of miles I can sell? We typically require a minimum of 50,000 miles to initiate a transaction. However, we offer significant “bulk premiums” for accounts with 160,000, 250,000, or 500,000+ miles, as these are highly coveted for booking First Class suites on Lufthansa and SWISS.
  5. Can I sell miles that are expiring soon? Lufthansa miles typically expire 36 months after they are earned. If you do not have elite status or a Miles & More credit card, these miles will vanish. We can purchase miles that are close to expiration, but we recommend requesting a quote at least 30 days before the deadline to ensure smooth processing.
  6. What can happen to my Miles & More account? Lufthansa’s terms forbid trading in miles and allow it to block awards and end the membership. We cannot promise how Lufthansa will respond to a sale; read our guide to the risks before you decide.
  7. Why shouldn’t I just use my miles for “Mileage Bargains”? While “Mileage Bargains” (Meilenschnäppchen) can offer good value, they are non-refundable and non-changeable. Furthermore, Lufthansa’s high fuel surcharges, often exceeding $800 for a round-trip Business Class ticket, can make these “bargain” flights feel very expensive. Selling for cash gives you flexibility.
  8. How do I get paid, and how fast? By PayPal. Most customers are paid within 15 minutes of completing the transfer.
  9. Do you buy miles from partner airlines like Swiss, Austrian, or Brussels Airlines? Yes. Because these airlines are all part of the “Miles & More” ecosystem, they all use the same mileage currency. If your points are in a Miles & More account, regardless of which airline you flew to earn them, we can purchase them.
  10. What if I earned my miles through a credit card? Whether you earned your miles through the Lufthansa World Elite Mastercard, flying, or hotel stays, the value remains the same. As long as the miles are currently in your Miles & More balance, they are eligible for a cash buyout.
