karan was very helpful and responded very quickly! got krisflyer miles from him and they were added to my account within 70 hours from the moment i requested a quote! if youre browsing thru the reviews right now wondering if theyre legit, yes they are!
At first I was skeptical, but was reading the trust pilot reviews and decided to go with a test order. It all worked well and was delivered so quickly!
I found the firm by a simple search and was weary that airline points are a slightly opaque by nature.
However the sales process and uploading of my points took 24hours Karan was incredibly responsive and I am travelling on business class having saved nearly 40%. Would shop again and recommend Karan and the company.
Great communication throughout and very competitive rates to top up my Avios balance. Points were added to my balance extremely quickly too. I'll definitely use them again.
Karan at points trader is the real deal. Super responsive and gives you the best deal on the mileage points. You can trust him 100%. Made Zelle payments to him no problem. Legit
I have used The Points Trader now on several occasions. Their service is consistently reliable, safe and seamless. They are responsive to any inquires and after purchasing the wholesale points they were deposited into my frequent flyer account almost immediately after payment. Their pricing is competive and their purchase minimum is lower then other similar services. I will continue to use The Points Trader and suggest you do too.
Karan is a legend. Have used his services twice. Both times - very business-like , no non-sense ,extremely relevant advise and expedient transaction- zero time wasted. Various payment options are available. Adequate pricing, prompt settlement. I would absolutely use him again in the future. Thank you v much
my enquiry and subsequent purchase was dealt with very efficiently and responses to my emails were fast.
the representative I dealt with was very professional and it was a pleasure dealing with them. I will definitely use this company again.
I saw this company on Google, noted their high TrustPilot score and requested a quote for 200,000 Avios points to go to my British Airways (BA) account. When I accepted their quotation they told me that it would cost extra to transfer to BA although this is what they quoted for. They wanted me to open an account with Qatar Airlines and share the points - but I'm not comfortable doing this. I was disappointed that they did not honour their quotation.

Hello Gerald,
We take all feedback seriously, which is why we feel it’s important to clarify the context of this review.
During our communication, we suggested Qatar because it offered a significantly more cost-effective option since BA & QR Avios both share the same points currency and serves the same purpose. Our recommendation was made purely to help you obtain the best value, which is the approach we take with every client.
We were able to accommodate your request for BA; however, that option carried a higher cost than the Qatar alternative we recommended to save you money.
In your written correspondence to us, you stated that you were unwilling to engage with Qatar based on their regional, ethnic association. You also indicated this was the reason you felt “uncomfortable.”
We want to be clear: our company does NOT evaluate airlines — or serve clients — based on nationality, ethnicity, religion, or political assumptions. We deal with clients globally and offer recognized programs purely based on value and operational performance.
For the sake of transparency to future readers, this review does not reflect a failure of service, but rather a biased disagreement rooted in personal views about a suggested frequent flyer program that was offered solely as a cost-saving option.
We remain committed to serving a diverse global clientele with professionalism and fairness.

I am a senior citizen who travels often to see kids and grandkids who live in the UK. I wouldn't say that I am a neophyte when it comes to technology, but I certainly am not a young man who grew up using cell phones and computers. Karan was so helpful in communicating with me via email and a phone call to allow me to purchase 200K points for an upcoming trip. Purchasing the points allowed me to save thousands of dollars versus paying cash for my wife's and my round-trip business-class flights to Geneva. I was also confident in sending a few thousand dollars via ZELLE because of his reputation and long-standing presence in the travel space. Thanks Karan for your great service and help. You have a customer for life who will also spread the word to others.
Just wanted to send a huge thank you! 🙏 I'm absolutely thrilled to confirm that the miles have successfully landed in my account! 🥳 That was so fast! 🚀 I really appreciate your excellent service and quick work on this. You've made my travel plans so much easier! ✈️🌍
I'm definitely going to be a returning customer! ✨ Looking forward to connecting again for future needs. You guys are the best! 👍
Efficient and cost effective as well as very patient with all my questions and delays!! I have bought Kris flyer miles as well as Avios. Thanks especially to Karan
This will be my no1 go to for miles. Smooth and easy process with Karan. I was scared at first but I checked the reviews and decided to give it a try. Paid and I received my miles everything within 1hr. You can trust the website and be rest assured.
I required 110k of Avios points to purchase Qatar's business class seats for my parents. After I did my survey and research, I decided to approach Karan for the price quote. As a first time user, reading through all the reviews still made me feel skeptical about everything as the price is almost 35% cheaper than official website. Thankfully, Karan was actively responding to all my doubts and queries therefore I decided to proceed with the payment. I was kept posted when money was received and points are delivered. Two days later, I now have the two business class flight tickets in hand and I would like to thank Karan once again for his service!
