Reader Tim asked the following question in the Ask Lucky forum:"Sorry if this may seem like a stupid question,but is it possible to sell miles? I flew Emirates once but believe no intention of flying them again, so rather than wasting them I was looking to see if selling them was an option. If so, or where can I carry out so?"It's a question I see posted all the time,because not everyone digs into the terms & conditions of programs to figure this stuff out. As a general rule of thumb, it's not illegal to sell miles. That's to say that there are no federal or state laws as such which would do you at risk if you're selling miles.
That being said, and selling miles violates the rules of virtually all frequent flyer programs. And it goes beyond that -- any type of bartering violates the rules,no matter what consideration is if. For example, here are the relevant terms of the American AAdvantage program:The post Can You Sell Airline Miles? appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
