A simple miles marketplace

How MileMarketplace works

Find the award seat you want, buy the exact miles, and we book your ticket — simple and secure.

For buyers

How buying works

A simple path from finding award space to flying: confirm the seat, buy the miles, approve the airline taxes, then we book your ticket.

1

Find award availability

Start with an award-search tool to confirm the exact seat, cabin, and date you want are actually bookable before you buy. Search live availability on any of these:

How does an order work, end to end?

A clear sequence from finding a seat to flying — so both sides always know exactly what happens next.

1

Find a seat

Search an award tool like PointsYeah, seats.aero or Roame.travel to see which airline programs have the exact seat and date you want.

2

Request a booking

$0 due at this step — submit a booking request and tell us your preferred dates and airline.

3

We confirm your total

Our team reviews the availability and confirms the exact total: miles + our 5% service fee + airline taxes & fees at cost. Usually within a few hours, always within 24.

4

Pay once

Pay the full total securely via PayPal/cards, USDT/USDC, or Wise/Zelle (2% discount on crypto and bank transfer). Backed by our full-refund guarantee — if we can't deliver as described, you're refunded in full.

5

We book your ticket

We book the award ticket in your name and add the confirmation and booking reference to your order.

6

Fly & you're done

Take your flight and verify the booking is correct. The order completes automatically after you fly.

What does it cost?

  • You pay a 5% service fee on the miles.
  • Airline taxes & fees are passed through at cost — no markup.
  • No fees to browse — you only pay when you place an order.

How long does it take?

  • Checkout is quick and secure — pay in a few clicks.
  • We book your award within a short window of your order.
  • Verify the booking with the airline as soon as it's issued.
  • No action needed after you fly — the order auto-completes.

Why is buying here safe?

MileMarketplacekeeps every order on-platform, with secure checkout and a clear, timestamped record of your booking. We book the award ticket in your name and add the confirmation, and if something isn't right, you can flag an issue for our team to review.

A note on airline rules

Airline loyalty programs have their own rules and can, in rare cases, query or cancel an award booking. MileMarketplacebooks your ticket and handles your order, but it can't change the airlines' terms. If anything is wrong with your booking, flag an issue and our team will help — awards are used at your own risk.

Frequently asked questions

How do you buy airline miles on MileMarketplace?

Find an award seat with a tool like PointsYeah or seats.aero, pick the program that has it, then submit a booking request here — $0 due at this step. Our team confirms the exact total (miles + 5% service fee + airline taxes & fees at cost), usually within a few hours, always within 24. You pay once, and we book the award ticket in your name.

Is buying airline miles worth it?

It can be when you redeem for premium cabins: business- and first-class awards often cost far fewer cents per mile than the cash fare, so buying miles to book them can be much cheaper than paying cash. For cheap economy fares, paying cash is usually better.

Are airline taxes and fees included when I buy miles?

Airline taxes, carrier surcharges, and government fees are shown separately and passed through at cost — MileMarketplace adds no markup. We confirm the exact total (including taxes) before you pay, and you approve and pay them once, along with the miles and our service fee.

What happens if something is wrong with my booking?

Every order stays on-platform with a timestamped record and an order message thread. If a booking doesn't match or there's an issue, you can flag it from the order page and the MileMarketplace team will review it.
