1. Why should I buy frequent flyer miles from The Points Trader? 

​

We constantly strive to provide the best prices compared to other mileage brokers. As you may know, you can often redeem your frequent flyer miles for an award ticket, usually with significant savings over their published cash fares! However, many people only have so much miles and often don't have enough to redeem that first or business class seats they are after. Buying that remaining airline miles that you need from us to top up your existing balance will allow you to travel in First and Business class on major airlines for half the price when buying directly with an airline for a full price.

​

2. How can I determine if buying miles is a good value for me?

 

The value of buying miles depends on several factors, including the cost of the miles, the redemption value of the miles, and the availability of travel options. To determine if buying miles is a good value for you, consider how much you would pay for the travel you want to book without using miles, and compare that to the cost of buying the necessary miles and redeeming them for the same travel. In general, it may be worth buying miles if you can redeem them for a high-value award ticket.
