The payout table — per 100,000 miles
Ranges from our current book. The exact offer depends on the account, the balance and demand; larger balances land at the top of each range, and every programme links to its own sell page with the full process:

ANA, Delta, United, British Airways Avios, Alaska and the hotel programmes — Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG — are quoted per account rather than published; rates for those move too fast to print. Every valuation, published or not, comes as a firm WhatsApp offer within minutes via the 60-second quote form.
Why one programme pays double another
A mile is worth what it can book. Programmes whose miles reliably book high-demand premium cabins — AAdvantage, Skywards, the big European schemes — sit at the top of the table because the tickets they produce are worth the most. Programmes with weaker premium charts, heavy surcharges or tight restrictions sit lower. That is also why the ranges move: when an airline devalues its award chart, the cash value of its miles follows, usually within weeks — our programme changes tracker is the running log of exactly those moves.
Why we pay 40-60% of our selling price — the honest answer
Look at our price index and you will notice we sell miles for more than we pay for them. No trick: they are two different products.
When you sell to us, your miles never leave your account — airline miles are non-transferable. What we are buying is the usage of those miles: we book tickets from your account over an agreed term, carrying the work, the waiting and the risk that comes with it. When a customer buys from us, they get something else entirely: miles delivered into their own account, in their own name, ready to spend however they like.
Different product, different risk, different logistics — and on top of that, a margin. We are a brokerage; the margin is how we exist, and we would rather say that plainly than hide the spread behind vague quotes. What you get in exchange for it: a firm offer in minutes, an agreement and ID verification on both sides, and payment in your own currency.
Sell or redeem? The two-minute test
A well-redeemed mile beats a sold mile: business-class awards routinely return 2-6¢ per mile in travel value against 0.55-1.5¢ in cash. So if you will genuinely fly the award — sit down, find the seat, book it. Selling wins in three situations: the miles are about to expire, the balance is stranded in a programme you will never fly again, or you simply prefer cash to a seat. Our full guide — should you sell your miles? — walks through the decision without pushing you either way; we make money on both sides of this market, so we have no reason to shade the advice.
How selling works
WhatsApp us the programme and balance — or use the quote form, which arrives pre-organized — and you get a firm offer, usually within minutes. Accept, and we sign an agreement, verify ID on both sides, and pay by local transfer in your currency, Zelle or USDT. The complete process, the term and the risks are laid out on How Selling Works before you commit to anything.
Frequently asked questions
What are 100,000 airline miles worth in cash?
It depends entirely on the programme. From our current book: 100,000 American AAdvantage miles fetch US$1,000-1,500, Emirates Skywards US$850-1,300, Lufthansa, Turkish, JAL, SAS or Virgin Atlantic around US$750-1,100, Qantas US$650-950, and Flying Blue US$600-900. Larger balances land at the top of each range. Every programme's exact range is published on its own sell page.
Why do you pay less for miles than you charge when selling them?
Because they are two different products. When you sell to us, miles are non-transferable — we are buying the usage of the miles inside your account, and we then carry the work and the risk of issuing tickets from it over the agreed term. When a customer buys from us, they receive miles delivered into their own account, ready to use freely. Different product, different risk, different logistics — plus an honest margin, which is how a brokerage exists. We would rather explain the spread than pretend it is not there.
Which airline miles are worth the most?
Programmes whose miles book high-demand premium cabins fetch the most: American AAdvantage, Emirates Skywards and the major European programmes top our table. Miles tied to programmes with weak premium award charts or heavy restrictions fetch less. Demand moves, so ranges are updated as the market does.
Is it better to sell my miles or redeem them?
If you can actually use them on a business-class award, redeeming usually beats selling — a well-used mile is worth 2-6 cents in travel against roughly 0.55-1.5 cents in cash. Selling wins when the miles would expire, the balance is stranded in a programme you will never fly, or you simply prefer cash. Our guide on whether to sell your miles walks through the decision honestly.
How does selling actually work, and is it safe?
You tell us the programme and balance on WhatsApp and get a firm offer in minutes. If you accept, we sign an agreement, verify ID on both sides, and pay you — in your own currency by local transfer, or Zelle or USDT. The full process, term and risks are set out on our How Selling Works page before you commit to anything.
