Why Airline Miles Are Hard to Use Well

Most miles expire unused because the award process is complex. Here's why expert help matters:

Expiry Risk

Most airline programs expire miles after 12-36 months of inactivity. Millions of dollars in value evaporate every year.

Availability Scarcity

Award seats — especially premium cabins — are limited. Finding and timing the right booking requires expertise and flexibility.

Partner Complexity

Alliance partners, transfer ratios, routing rules — maximizing value requires deep knowledge across 40+ programs.

Devaluation

Airlines regularly devalue award charts. Points that booked Business Class last year may only get Economy now.

Important Compliance Note

Airline frequent flyer miles are subject to strict program terms set by each airline. Cashard does not buy, sell, or broker airline miles. Our service for airline programs is limited to: award booking concierge (helping you use your own miles for premium bookings) and education (helping you understand value, expiry, and official redemption options). You always retain full control of your loyalty account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell my airline miles through Cashard?

No. Airline miles are classified as RED programs under our risk framework. Most airline terms prohibit direct sale or transfer of miles to third parties. Cashard provides education about your miles value and award booking concierge services instead.

What is award booking concierge?

Our concierge team helps you find and book premium cabin flights using your own miles. We handle the complex search for availability across partner airlines, identify sweet spots, and guide you through the booking process. You keep full control of your account.

How do I prevent my miles from expiring?

Most programs reset the expiry clock with any qualifying activity — earning or redeeming even a small amount. Check your specific program's terms. Our guides explain the expiry rules and strategies for each airline.

Can I transfer credit card points to airline miles?

Yes! Many premium credit cards (HDFC Infinia, Axis Magnus, Amex Platinum) allow 1:1 or similar transfers to airline partners. This is often the highest-value use of credit card points. See our Credit Card Points hub for details.
