How to Sell Qantas Points
for Cash

✍ AirMilesHK.com Team📅 Updated August 2026⏱ 5 min read

A Qantas balance you will never redeem is value going nowhere — and after 18 quiet months, it is value going to zero. Here is how converting Qantas Frequent Flyer points to cash actually works, including the parts most buyers will not tell you.

People sell Qantas Points for the same handful of reasons: the Australia trip stopped happening, a card bonus built a balance faster than holidays could use it, award space from Australia never materialised on the right dates, or the 18-month expiry clock started looking real. Whatever the reason, the arithmetic is identical — a balance with no redemption plan is worth more as cash today than as points quietly waiting to lapse.

The process, start to finish

  • Valuation. Send your balance on WhatsApp. We reply with a firm cash offer in minutes — free, no obligation. Bigger balances get better per-point rates.
  • Agreement. You sign a written agreement and keep a copy. It states exactly what we may redeem and for how long.
  • Verification. Your government ID, your Qantas account name, and your bank or PayPal account name must all match exactly. Nothing moves before this is complete — it protects you as much as us.
  • Payment. Local bank transfer or PayPal in your own currency — USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, SGD, HKD and more — always to an account in your own name, never a third party, never cryptocurrency.
  • The term. The account stays yours. We redeem only what we paid for, over up to six months; everything you earn meanwhile is yours, and we book only travel that completes within the term.

The part most buyers gloss over

Selling points breaches Qantas Frequent Flyer terms and conditions. In most jurisdictions this is a contractual matter, not a criminal one — but Qantas can suspend accounts and cancel balances it identifies, and any buyer telling you otherwise is not being straight. Our agreement names the risk in writing and sets out pro-rata compensation if your account is closed mid-term because of our activity. If that risk does not sit comfortably, keep your points — we say the same thing on WhatsApp.

The 18-month clock

Qantas Points expire after 18 months with no earning or redemption activity — the whole balance, at once. Any activity resets it. If your last activity is approaching a year and a half old, that deadline matters more than the rate: a fair price this month beats a perfect price never.

Or the other direction entirely

Worth knowing before you sell: Qantas Points book more than most holders realise — El Al to Tel Aviv with no fuel surcharges, and Emirates business class on the dedicated 2026 chart. If you have a trip those cover in the next 18 months, redeeming may beat selling, and we will tell you so. If not, the selling page has the current process and a one-tap WhatsApp valuation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell my Qantas Points for cash?

Yes. Send your balance on WhatsApp and we reply with a firm cash offer in minutes, free and without obligation. Larger balances command better per-point rates.

How much are Qantas Points worth when selling?

It depends on balance size and current demand. As a reference, Qantas Points trade at the affordable end of the miles market — which is exactly why unused balances are worth converting rather than letting them sit.

Is selling Qantas Points against the rules?

Selling breaches Qantas Frequent Flyer terms and conditions — a contractual matter rather than a criminal one in most jurisdictions. Qantas can suspend accounts and cancel balances it identifies. We put this risk in writing before you sign anything, and if it does not sit right with you, we would rather you not proceed.

How does payment work?

By local bank transfer or PayPal in your own currency — we hold accounts for USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, SGD, HKD and more. Payment goes only to an account whose name exactly matches your government ID and your Qantas account. We do not pay sellers in cryptocurrency, because wallets cannot be name-verified.

What happens to my Qantas account after I sell?

It stays yours. We redeem only the quantity we paid for, over a term of up to six months, and everything you earn during the term is yours. We book only travel that completes within the term, so nothing is left pending when our access ends.

Do Qantas Points expire if I do nothing?

Yes — after 18 months without any earning or redemption activity, the entire balance lapses. Expiry is the most common reason sellers contact us: converting to cash beats watching a balance hit zero.
