This Week’s Miles Market: Avios, Miles & More and Finnair Plus
What do miles currently cost, and what should buyers and sellers consider? This MilesMarket overview, dated October 5, 2026, presents the available asking prices for British Airways Executive Club, Lufthansa Miles & More, and Finnair Plus. It is a market snapshot rather than evidence of completed sales or a forecast of future prices. For both sides of a transaction, the headline price is only part of the decision: availability, program rules, delivery arrangements, and payment conditions also matter.
Current Prices: A Snapshot, Not a Trend
The current data lists British Airways Executive Club (Avios) at €9.21 per 1,000, with two active offers. Lufthansa Miles & More is listed at €10.53 per 1,000, with one active offer. Finnair Plus is listed at €9.32 per 1,000, also with one active offer. British Airways therefore has the lowest listed price in this selection, while Lufthansa has the highest. That does not make either program universally better or worse value. Their redemption options and applicable conditions differ, so a direct price comparison has limits. No previous-week figures are available here. It would therefore be misleading to describe prices as rising or falling. The small number of active offers also makes individual listing checks important: these figures do not establish buyer demand, likely selling times, or future availability.
For Sellers: Price Realistically and Disclose the Details
For sellers, the listed prices are reference points for preparing an offer, not promises of achievable proceeds. Compare your listing with the same loyalty program rather than treating different mileage currencies as interchangeable. A higher asking price does not automatically indicate stronger demand or a faster sale. Before listing, check whether the intended transaction is permitted under the program’s current terms. Selling or transferring miles may be restricted, and protected payment does not remove those restrictions. Confirm any transfer charges and any requirements that the recipient must meet. Then describe exactly what will be delivered, the necessary steps, and the conditions that apply. Keep a clear record of relevant agreements and delivery evidence. On MilesMarket, the seller is paid after delivery is confirmed. Build that sequence into your expectations rather than assuming immediate access to the payment.
For Buyers: Start With Your Intended Redemption
A low price per unit is useful only when the miles fit a specific purpose. Start by checking your intended reward, its current availability, and the required mileage balance directly with the relevant program. Then account for any taxes, surcharges, other redemption costs, and applicable transfer charges. Compare the total outlay with a normally paid alternative. The listed market prices alone do not demonstrate a saving. If your travel plans are time-sensitive, also check whether the proposed delivery process fits your booking needs. Reward availability can change while you are arranging a purchase. Read the entire listing and resolve unclear details before paying. Avoid buying simply because an offer appears inexpensive. Program changes, expiration rules, or changes in redemption availability can affect how useful those miles ultimately are to you.
Protected Payment and a Clear Completion Process
MilesMarket connects buyers and sellers of airline miles and hotel points. Protected payment is processed through a payment provider, and the seller is paid after delivery is confirmed. Both parties should review the applicable payment and platform terms before proceeding so they understand the relevant requirements and procedures. Payment protection is not a guarantee that a transaction complies with a loyalty program’s rules. For a clear transaction record, the listing description, agreed delivery, and subsequent evidence should align. Buyers should check receipt carefully before confirming delivery. If something does not match the agreement, use the designated resolution process and keep supporting records available. This week’s takeaway is straightforward: use the listed prices as a starting point, not a complete buying or selling decision. On milesmarket.de, assess the specific offer, applicable program terms, and your actual needs together.
