This Week’s Miles Market: Avios, Miles & More and Finnair Plus
Buying or selling airline miles starts with clear information, not big promises. This MilesMarket update looks at the available offer prices as of October 4, 2026, covering British Airways Executive Club, Lufthansa Miles & More and Finnair Plus. Below, we explain what these prices can tell buyers and sellers, where their limits lie, and how to approach a transaction carefully. This is a snapshot of active offers, not evidence of completed sales or a forecast for next week.
A Comparison of Current Offer Prices
British Airways — Executive Club (Avios) is currently listed at €9.21 per 1,000 miles, with 2 active offers. Lufthansa — Miles & More is listed at €10.53 per 1,000 miles, with 1 active offer. Finnair — Finnair Plus stands at €9.32 per 1,000 points, also with 1 active offer. British Airways therefore has the lowest displayed unit price in this snapshot, while Lufthansa has the highest. Finnair sits between them. That ranking does not establish which currency offers the best value for a particular trip. Each programme has its own redemption conditions and availability. With few active offers, this overview is best treated as a reference point. Without historical comparison data, it cannot establish whether the market is rising or falling.
What These Prices Mean for Sellers
For sellers, current listings provide a starting point for a pricing decision. Compare offers within the same programme wherever possible: a higher Miles & More price does not automatically justify the same price for Avios. Different redemption options and programme conditions may influence what a buyer is willing to consider. Make your listing clear and complete. Specify the quantity, the programme, the permitted delivery method and realistic information about the process. Before listing, check whether the proposed transaction is allowed under the relevant programme rules. Loyalty programmes may restrict sales or transfers. A small number of active offers does not automatically mean strong demand or a quick sale. Account for applicable costs and distinguish an asking price from actual proceeds. This snapshot cannot guarantee a sale or a profit.
What Buyers Should Check Before Purchasing
For buyers, the lowest unit price is only part of the decision. Start with a specific redemption goal: is the reward you want available, and what conditions apply? Check any taxes, surcharges or other redemption costs as well. An inexpensive miles purchase does not automatically make an unsuitable reward attractive. Compare the overall outlay with a regular booking and consider any balance you already hold. Avoid buying simply because one programme appears cheaper than another in this overview. Miles and points from different programmes are not automatically interchangeable. Before paying, clarify exactly what will be delivered and how delivery should be documented. Review expiry rules and restrictions on transfers or use. Recheck reward availability and relevant conditions immediately before making your purchase.
Use Protected Payment and Document the Process
MilesMarket is a marketplace for buying and selling airline miles and hotel points. Protected payment is provided through a payment provider, and the seller is paid after delivery is confirmed. Before proceeding, review the applicable payment terms and the process for handling any disagreement. Keep a clear record of listing details and agreed arrangements. Sellers should document delivery, while buyers should check that it matches the agreement before confirming receipt. A protected payment process does not replace checking programme rules or assessing whether an offer suits your needs. This week’s takeaway: use the listed prices as comparison tools, not promises of financial returns. Visit milesmarket.de to review current offers and base your decision on a practical redemption plan or a carefully prepared sale.
