You have miles or credit card points you’re not going to use, and you’d rather have cash. Good news: selling them is simpler than most people expect. If you’ve never done it before, though, it helps to know what actually happens from the moment you ask for a quote to the moment the money lands.
Here’s exactly how selling works with MilesFlipper, step by step, plus what we’ll ask from you and how to protect yourself with any buyer.
What You Can Sell
We buy miles and points from the major airline, bank and hotel programs, including American Airlines AAdvantage, United MileagePlus, Lufthansa Miles & More, American Express Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou and Marriott Bonvoy. We also buy credit card pre-approval mailers. If your program isn’t listed, ask anyway. We’ll tell you straight whether we can help.
Step 1: Request a Free Quote
Fill out our quote form. It takes about two minutes. We ask for three things:
- The program your miles or points are in
- How many you want to sell
- How to reach you: your name, email and phone
That’s it. There’s no commitment at this stage, and asking for a quote doesn’t touch your account in any way.
Step 2: Get Our Offer
Our team reviews your request and usually replies within minutes during business hours. Your offer depends on your program, how many miles or points you have, and current demand. Offers are a firm cash amount, and the number we quote is what you receive. There are no hidden fees and nothing gets deducted later.
Don’t like the number? Say no thanks. You can walk away at any point before the deal is done, with no obligation and no hard feelings.
Step 3: Accept and Confirm
If the offer works for you, accept it. We’ll send a confirmation and explain the next steps in plain English: exactly what happens with your account, what we need from you and when you’ll be paid. If anything is unclear, ask. We’d rather answer ten questions up front than have you guess.
Step 4: We Guide You Through the Transfer
Every program works a little differently, so we walk you through the process for yours, one step at a time. Most sellers find this part takes far less time than they feared. We handle each transaction discreetly and keep your details private.
Before you sell, it’s worth understanding what your program’s rules say. Most loyalty programs don’t allow miles to be sold, so there’s some risk to the account if a program objects. We explain that honestly in our guide, Is It Legal to Sell Airline Miles?
Step 5: Get Paid
Once the transaction is confirmed, we send your payment by PayPal the same business day. International wire transfer is also available if that works better for you. No chasing us for money and no waiting weeks for a check.
What We’ll Never Ask For
A legitimate miles buyer has no reason to ask for your full credit card number, your Social Security number or passwords to unrelated accounts like your email or bank. If anyone asks for those, stop. We’ll always tell you exactly what’s needed for your specific program before you agree to anything.

- A clear process explained before you commit, not after.
- Fast, traceable payment like PayPal or wire.
Quick Answers
How long does the whole thing take?
The quote usually comes back within minutes, and once the transaction is confirmed we pay the same business day. How long the transfer step takes depends on your program, and we’ll tell you up front.
Do I have to sell all my miles?
No. Sell as many or as few as you like and keep the rest.
What if I change my mind?
You can say no at any point before the deal is completed. A quote is free and carries no obligation.
Is now a good time to sell?
Programs change their rules and award prices over time, and those changes rarely favor members. If you’re not planning to use your miles, waiting usually doesn’t help. Read why your miles are losing value and whether you should sell points you’ll never use.
