Sell Amex Points for Cash

The Miles Market buys Amex Membership Rewards points directly, paying you within 24 hours of verification. You request a quote, accept an offer, and get paid: no award availability to hunt, no transfer delays, no points sitting unused as their value erodes. Over 50,000 customers have sold their miles and points through us. Submit a free, no-obligation quote to see exactly what your Amex points are worth today.

How Much Are Amex Points Worth When You Sell?

Amex Membership Rewards points trade at competitive market rates that shift based on current demand and your balance size. Accounts with larger balances — generally above 80,000 points — consistently receive stronger per-point offers. The Miles Market prices every quote against live market conditions, so the rate you see reflects what buyers are actually paying right now, not a fixed table.

For context, redeeming Amex points directly through the Amex Travel portal returns around 1 cent per point. Selling through The Miles Market often delivers a better outcome than low-value redemptions like statement credits or gift cards, and puts cash in your account within 24 hours rather than locking value into future travel plans.

Is It Safe to Sell Amex Points?

Yes, selling points online is safe when you work with a trusted and experienced broker. The most important things to look for are a strong reputation, clear payment terms, and a professional process. The Miles Market operates within this market professionally with the highest security standards. When you work with us, every transaction is transparent and straightforward from start to finish.

When Does Selling Make Sense?

Selling your Amex points is the right move in several situations:

Your card is closing. Amex Membership Rewards points are tied to your card account. If your account closes, your points expire — typically within 30 days. Selling before closure converts that balance to cash before the window closes.

You have no near-term travel plans. Points held idle lose purchasing power over time. Industry data shows loyalty point values have declined significantly over the past five years as programs adjust their award charts. Selling now locks in today’s rate.

You have a large balance accumulating. Balances above 80,000 points attract our strongest rates. If you have been accumulating points without a clear redemption plan, selling is a direct path to real cash value.

Transfer partner devaluations have reduced your options. Several Amex transfer partners have cut their ratios in recent years — including the Amex-to-Emirates Skywards ratio dropping from 1:1 to 5:4 in 2025. When a favored redemption path loses value, selling through The Miles Market may outperform the alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Amex rewards points may expire depending on the type of American Express (Amex) rewards program you are enrolled in:

  2. Marriott Bonvoy: If you are enrolled in the Marriott Bonvoy program through Amex, your points will not expire as long as you have account activity at least once every 24 months. Account activity can include earning or redeeming points.
  3. Hilton Honors: If you are enrolled in the Hilton Honors program through Amex, your Hilton Honors points will not expire as long as you have account activity at least once every 12 months. Account activity can include earning or redeeming points.

However, it's important to note that the value of your points may decrease over time. In fact, over the past 5 years alone, there has been a 30% reduction in point value.

No. You don't need to close your card to sell points, and doing so is generally a bad idea because some programs forfeit points within 30 days of account closure. Selling first, while the account is open and in good standing, protects the value of your balance.
