Sell your Alaska miles for cash

Alaska's partner awards are among the best in the world on paper, but the marquee first-class space barely exists. Holders who can't book the dream redemption often convert to cash. We buy Alaska miles for cash at fair market rates, with fast payment and a valuation in minutes on WhatsApp.

Who sells Alaska miles — and why

Sweet-spot hunters, ex-Virgin America holders, and Bilt/card transferrers with aspirational balances. Whatever the route in, the reasons for selling tend to rhyme:

• The expiry clock. Alaska miles expire after 24 months of inactivity — resettable, but a large balance you can't deploy is worth selling if you're not flying soon.
• Devaluation. Award prices creep up roughly 15% a year on average; a Alaska Mileage Plan balance you hold is quietly worth less each month, and cash locks in today’s value.
• Miles earned but never used. Work travel and card bonuses build balances far faster than personal trips can spend them — so they sit idle.
• A better return in cash. When the redemptions actually available to you are poor value, the cash from selling can simply beat them.

How selling works

Tell us your Alaska Mileage Plan balance. We reply with a firm cash offer — no obligation, no fees. Accept, and we arrange the transfer and pay you promptly, usually within a day. Most valuations take minutes. We’ve brokered miles since 2010 with a 4.8 Trustpilot rating and pay in cash, not vouchers. The same market that sets our Alaska miles buying rate sets what we can pay you.
