ByConvert Points and Miles With Our Miles Transfer Process
You can sell your hotel or credit card points and airline miles for cash and other rewards. Alternatively, you could opt to transfer the rewards to other memberships, for example, transferring hotel points to airline miles and using them to book flights. However, miles transfer can be complicated or confusing. For example, you cannot transfer miles between American AAdvantage and Alaska Mileage Plan, but you can book on American Airlines using Alaska miles.
The problem is finding good deals and evaluating their best options based on their points. Depending on your rewards program, you may get a good deal by transferring the points to miles instead of purchasing a gift card or using them for cash.
Still, unless you can compare all your options, it's hard to know the best deal available. This is where DoNotPay comes into play. The app combs through the web for the best deals whether you want to do or miles selling.

Reasons to Sell Your Points and Miles
Vacation rates are increasing, and airlines and hotels are still struggling to fill seats and beds, so now's the best time to spend your points or begin a . Below are more reasons to spend your points and miles:
- Mileage balances are high following the lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so we are likely to see mileage inflation moving forward.
- Demand and travel costs are increasing, as are mileage rates.
- Devaluations are inevitable.
- Award tickets get free airline ticket changes.
How Much Money Are Points and Miles Worth?
At its core, you will use simple multiplication and division to calculate your award redemption values whether you are transferring airline miles or points. Below is how to calculate your award redemption values:
| Find Your Award Redemption Value | First, start with the cash price in dollars and multiply it by 100 to convert it into cents. Then, divide the result by the miles or points you require to book the itinerary as an award. The result you get is your award redemption value expressed in cents per mile or point (abbreviated as CPM or CPP, respectively).
Redemption value = 100 × Cash Price/Award Price The cash price reflects the full out-of-pocket amount for the given itinerary (transaction). Additionally, the above is a basic equation that does not consider expenses. |
| Consider Fees and Expenses | Below is an equation for accounting for award fees, including expenses:
Redemption value = 100 × (Cash Price - Expenses)/Award Price The calculation gets more complicated when comparing different itineraries, for example, comparing tickets for a Seattle to Phoenix flight between Alaska Airlines and Southwest. Furthermore, it would be best to have a resource to compare your answers to your program's typical award redemptions. |
As you can see, the points-and-miles landscape is complicated to the point it even makes professionals' heads spin. For example, many airlines have now abandoned their awards charts, making it harder to track and discern your miles and points. Unfortunately, there is no one-card-its-all approach. Therefore, unless you prepare a printed spreadsheet, you need an app to help you find the best deals for each transaction.
Here are a few partners with easy to comprehend point values:

| Diners Club | $1.00 |
| Radisson Rewards | $0.006 |
