Methodology: the per-mile figure is the lowest volume rate among each program's current live listings on MileMarketplace; the comparison price expresses each program's applicable rate per 10,000 miles and discloses any higher minimum purchase. Redemption (use) value of miles is typically higher — see how much airline miles are worth.

How much do airline miles cost? — FAQ
How much do airline miles sell for?
On MileMarketplace, airline miles typically sell for roughly $0.01684 per mile on average across programs. Premium, high-demand currencies sit at the higher end; less flexible programs sell for less. Prices below are pulled live from current listings.
Which airline miles are cheapest to buy?
Right now, Hilton Honors miles are the cheapest on the index at $0.006 per mile. The ranking changes as sellers list and update prices, so check the live table above before buying.
Why are these prices lower than an airline's own 'buy miles' price?
Airlines usually sell miles directly at around 3–3.5 cents each. MileMarketplace prices competitively against the live market, so per-mile prices are typically well below the airline's retail rate — often around 1–2 cents per mile.
How often is the price index updated?
The index reflects live MileMarketplace listings and refreshes automatically throughout the day. Each program links to its live sellers so you always see current pricing.
