I always wonder why people when looking for tickets always choose the cheapest ticket instead of sticking with one airline (or one alliance of airlines) and racking up miles. Most people I know say that it takes years and years to gather enough miles for a ticket. I say gather the miles not for tickets but for what you can do with those miles. In this article I will explain why it beneficial to gather as much miles as you can.
There are a few reason why miles are valuable. First you can exchange them for products, like electronics, but in these trades you don't get any fair deals. You can also trade them for other reward points, like Hilton reward points. If you do make these trades you are not using your miles full potential. You get the most out of your miles if you sell them. Miles are worth big money on ebay; you can easily sell 25,000 miles for over 300 dollars or you can get a free round trip ticket to any where in the continental US.
