Buying miles: How to spot a safe offer
Miles are often offered privately in forums and on social media – without buyer protection. These points help you recognise trustworthy offers.
Typical red flags
Be careful if any of these appear.
- Payment via friends & family transfer or crypto
- Price far below market level
- Seller wants your login or codes
- Time pressure: “only available today”
What makes an offer safe
Verified sellers, a clearly described delivery method, a stated total price and payment released only after successful delivery. On MilesMarket sellers are identity-verified and payment runs through the payment provider.
After buying
Check the credit or ticket promptly and report issues directly in the order flow. Only confirm delivery once everything is correct.
FAQ
- Can I pay outside the platform if the seller offers it?
- No. That removes all protection. Please report such requests to our support.
