Debunking Rumors Regarding Selling Avianca LifeMiles

There are numerous questions and myths surrounding possible risks involved in selling Avianca LifeMiles. Are the risks even real or are people reacting to hearsay? If there are any risks in selling Avianca LifeMiles are those risks greater than the advantages? There are so many things to take into consideration before we make up our minds against selling Avianca LifeMiles, or any other airline miles for that matter. In order to separate the myths from the facts, we have decided to delve into the rumor mill to lay it all bare for you.  

Rumor #1: You Might End Up In Prison

This is restricted to only people who live in Utah, and even they don’t go to prison. They’ll be heavily fined, but they won’t find themselves in prison for selling miles. Selling airline miles is legal in all other parts of America so loyalty members living outside of Utah will not even be fined. Since it’s not a criminal offense you’re free to make some extra money by selling your airline miles.  

Rumor #2: Airlines Are Always On The Prowl For Members Who Sell Miles

It’s true selling airline miles is against airline policy, but since it’s not against the law the airlines can’t do anything about it. The only action they can take is closing the airline mile account and blacklisting the member. Even if the airlines are on the prowl for loyalty members who sell their miles they do not have a system that can detect each and every member who violates their agreement. There are loyalty members who openly sell miles on platforms such as Craigslist or eBay. Some have been known to fall under the airlines' radar, but the vast majority runs scot-free. Loyalty members should take precautionary steps if they want to sell Avianca LifeMiles, like using a mileage broker. Mileage brokers are the safest ways to sell airline miles.

Rumor #3: No Other Airline Will Accept You As A Member If You Get Caught

This is highly unlikely because the airline does encourage people to sign up to their programs. An important thing to keep in mind is that an airline doesn’t have the time or the resources to do an in-depth background check on each and every member. Frequent flyers from all over the world sign up to an airline loyalty program at the same time so it’s not possible to do a background check on a new member. So rest assured if for some reason someone gets caught, then they can sign up to another loyalty program.
