Sell your Avios for cash

Avios shine on short-haul and Reward Flight Saver, but BA's surcharges on long-haul redemptions frustrate many holders into inaction. A cash sale skips that problem. We buy Avios for cash at fair market rates, with fast payment and a valuation in minutes on WhatsApp.

Who sells Avios — and why

BA and Qatar flyers, Amex transferrers, and anyone who pooled household Avios and overshot their travel plans. Whatever the route in, the reasons for selling tend to rhyme:

• The expiry clock. Avios expiry is activity-based across the whole shared group — one qualifying transaction resets it, but large stale balances are common and very sellable.
• Devaluation. Award prices creep up roughly 15% a year on average; a Avios (BA, Qatar, Finnair, Iberia) 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 Avios (BA, Qatar, Finnair, Iberia) 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 Avios buying rate sets what we can pay you.

Why people sell British Airways Avios

Avios pool across BA, Iberia, Qatar and Finnair, but carrier surcharges on BA redemptions push many holders to cash out instead. Whatever the reason, the arithmetic is the same: a balance you will not redeem is value sitting still, and cash converts it into a number you can actually use.

• Plans changed. The trip that justified the balance is no longer happening.
• Earning outran spending. Cards and work travel built the balance faster than personal trips could use it.
• Devaluation risk. Award prices only move one direction over time; cash today is a fixed number.
• A better redemption elsewhere. Some sellers cash out one currency to fund travel in another that suits their routes better.

Common questions

How much are my British Airways Avios worth when selling?

It depends on your balance size and current demand for British Airways Avios — larger balances generally command better per-mile rates. Send us your balance on WhatsApp and we reply with a firm cash offer in minutes, free and with no obligation.

Is selling British Airways Avios allowed?

Selling miles breaches most frequent flyer programmes' terms and conditions. It is a contractual matter rather than a criminal one in most jurisdictions, but programmes can suspend accounts and cancel balances if they identify it. We set this risk out in writing before you sign anything, and if you are not comfortable with it, we would rather you not proceed.

How does payment work?

Payment goes only to a bank account or payment method in the same name as your ID and your loyalty account — never to a third party. You sign a written agreement first and keep a copy.

What happens to my account?

The account stays yours. We use it for up to six months, redeem only the quantity we paid for, and everything you earn during the term is yours. We book only travel that completes within the term, so nothing is left hanging in your account after our access ends.

The full process — agreement, ID verification, the six-month term and the risks — is set out in how selling to us works.
