MILES/POINTS TIP OF THE WEEK

Donating Miles Can Make a Difference

It’s the Christmas season, so you don’t always have to use your miles for flights or upgrades—many airline loyalty programs let you donate them to charitable organizations. This can be especially meaningful during the holidays, allowing you to spread some cheer by helping others travel or support important causes.

How to Do It:

1. Check Your Airline’s Website:

   • Most major carriers (like United, Delta, and American) have dedicated pages for mileage donations.

2. Select a Cause You Care About:

   • Options may include medical transport charities, disaster relief organizations, or nonprofits that help veterans or children in need.

3. Review Donation Minimums and Fees:

   • Some programs require a minimum number of miles to donate and may charge a small processing fee.

Pro Tip: If you have miles that might otherwise expire—or if you simply want to give back—donating them to a worthy cause is a great way to make someone else’s holiday season brighter.

PS: You can get lots more information about frequent traveler programs for airlines, hotels, and car rental companies in my frequent traveler course at https://cruisinaltitude.newzenler.com/courses/frequent-traveler-101.
