Sell KrisFlyer miles for cash
Request a quote for your KrisFlyer miles balance. Quote availability and value depend on balance size, programme rules, demand and the details of the transaction. Nothing here is a published rate.
Get my KrisFlyer quote
No rates are published and nothing here is a guaranteed price. Tell us the specifics and we will respond with an indicative figure or an honest explanation of why we cannot quote.
How it works
- 1. Submit your KrisFlyer miles balance and an email we can reply to.
- 2. We review eligibility and send indicative quote information, or an honest no.
- 3. You decide whether you want to proceed. Nothing is committed by asking.
We never ask for your Singapore Airlines password, PIN, one-time codes or security answers.
How much are KrisFlyer miles worth?
Two different numbers get confused here, so we keep them apart.
Estimated redemption value is the cash fare you avoid by using KrisFlyer miles for a flight. On our typical working assumption of 1.6 cents per mile, 100,000 miles represent about $1,600 of avoided fare. See the KrisFlyer value page for the full method and a calculator.
A MilesQuote sell quote is a separate market figure prepared for your specific request. It is not the redemption value, we publish no rate table for it, and we will not invent a payout number on a public page.
What affects your quote?
- Balance size — small balances are often not economic to process.
- The programme itself, and how usable KrisFlyer miles currently are.
- Market demand at the time you ask.
- Transfer and redemption restrictions: KrisFlyer supports topping up and transferring miles for a fee, plus family pooling in eligible markets.
- How the transaction would be structured.
- Expiry position of the balance.
Minimum balance
Minimum eligibility may vary. Submit your KrisFlyer miles balance to check — we would rather tell you it is too small than publish a threshold that is wrong for your case.
Programme rules and restrictions
Loyalty programmes set their own rules regarding transfer, sale, purchase and third-party transactions. Some programmes restrict or prohibit these activities. Review the applicable programme terms before proceeding. For KrisFlyer: KrisFlyer supports topping up and transferring miles for a fee, plus family pooling in eligible markets.
Alternatives worth pricing first
Redemptions cover Singapore Airlines Saver and Advantage awards, Star Alliance partners, upgrades, and KrisShop purchases.
Before requesting a sell quote, price a redemption on United, Lufthansa, ANA, Air Canada — partner availability often turns an idle KrisFlyer miles balance into a better outcome than a sale.

KrisFlyer selling questions
- Can I sell KrisFlyer miles?
- You can request a quote from us, and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. Whether a transfer or third-party sale is permitted for your account is set by Singapore Airlines: KrisFlyer supports topping up and transferring miles for a fee, plus family pooling in eligible markets. Review the programme terms before proceeding.
- How is the quote calculated?
- We look at the programme, the balance size, how usable KrisFlyer miles currently are, the transfer mechanics involved and current demand. There is no published rate and no fixed formula we can promise in advance.
- Is there a minimum balance?
- Minimum eligibility may vary by programme and by request. Submit your balance and we will tell you whether we can quote it.
- How long does the process take?
- We aim to respond to a complete request within one business day. What happens after that depends on the specifics of the request, and we do not promise a settlement timeframe we cannot control.
- Can expired KrisFlyer miles be sold?
- No. Once miles have lapsed they no longer exist to transfer. KrisFlyer miles have a defined validity period with limited paid extension options. Confirm the current terms with Singapore Airlines.
- Should I redeem my KrisFlyer miles instead?
- In most cases, yes. Saver awards in Suites or business class typically show the strongest value; Advantage awards rarely justify buying miles. If you have no plausible redemption within the programme's validity window, a sale becomes worth considering.
