Selling Avios: what do I get per 1,000 Avios?
The most searched Avios question is price: what is my balance worth? Proceeds depend less on the program than on how you deliver and how much you offer. Here are the factors that make the difference.
The realistic price range
Avios typically redeem at 1.0 to 1.5 cents per point. The selling price sits below that because buyers want an advantage over buying points directly from the airline. You see the current market price per 1,000 Avios in the listing form.
What drives your proceeds up
Buyers pay for convenience and certainty. A listing with a clear delivery method, short delivery window and a verified seller profile earns noticeably more than a vague offer with a long window.
- Award booking rather than plain gifting — less effort for the buyer.
- A short, realistic delivery window instead of a multi-day buffer.
- Verified profile and good reviews.
- Larger quantity in one listing instead of many tiny packages.
Worked example
Say you offer 60,000 Avios at €11 per 1,000. Gross proceeds are €660. After the platform fee comes the payout amount, shown to you exactly before publishing — no hidden deductions afterwards.
