What if we told you, you could bring in an extra few thousand dollars without really having to do anything. You might laugh. You might think we’re crazy. And yet - if you have unused miles we might not be far off. Here’s what you need to know.
It’s Currency Just Waiting to be Spent
Most people have the wrong idea about miles. They see them as a way to offset future travel costs. That’s part of it. But that’s by no means the full story. Miles are actually currency. We’ll simplify for the people in the back: you can cash your miles in for .. well, cold, hard cash. It’s easy. It’s legit. And it’s an opportunity to boost your bottom line without having to do too much.
First Things First: Let’s Talk Value
The mind-blowing thing about miles is how complex it can be to calculate their value. Their value fluctuates depending on their airline, credit card, time of year and even whether you choose a first class or economy flight. Talk about frustrating.
Here’s a good example: a mile can be worth less than one cent when redeemed for a domestic flight. But when enhancing the same mile for a business-class ticket it might be worth as much as three cents.
There are lots of online tools and resources to help you here. And as confusing as it is, this is important. You need to understand what you have in hand before you can decide to sell. We’ve seen people who skip this step and they’re often disappointed when they see their miles are worth less than they thought. Don’t be that guy.
Pass Go. Collect $200
So, you’re all systems go. You’ve decided to move forward and sell your miles. Yay! What an exciting time for you. Or maybe you’re still on the fence, trying to decide whether this is a good option for you.
There are many reasons to sell your miles. As we like to say - cash it liquid. It gives you flexibility and you don’t have to worry about expiry dates or restrictions. And once you have cold, harsh cash in your hands, the options are (almost) limitless. You could direct them to that new marketing campaign, a cappuccino machine or a team bonding weekend away.
The other thing we love about selling points is that they make it easy to consolidate all your points in one place. This is great if you have points from different programs. Say hello to a streamlined approach to doing more with points
