How do I transfer Max Miles to a partner airline or hotel?

There are three ways to make loyalty program redemptions. The method of redemption depends on the airline or hotel loyalty program. Here's how each option works:

How long do mile transfers take to process?

For our direct points transfer partners, it typically is processed within one day. However, some partners may take up to 3 weeks. You can view the estimated processing time by selecting your desired transfer partner.

For Cash-for-miles partners, you will be issued a Virtual Card with the exact amount needed for you to purchase directly from the airlines/hotels. It typically takes our team up to 7 days to issue you the card.

Can I transfer Max Miles to someone else’s airline or hotel loyalty membership?

You can only transfer miles to an airline or hotel membership which matches the name on your HeyMax account.

Will there be other airline or hotel transfer partners?

Yes, we are constantly expanding our network of transfer partners, stay tuned!

How does HeyMax's "Cash-for-Miles" program work?

To guarantee that you can use your Max Miles at a large number of leading travel brands, HeyMax will issue you cash in the form of a Virtual Card with the exact amount needed for you to purchase the miles or points in your chosen redemption quantity directly from the airlines/hotels at the prevailing rate set by their official points purchase program. You may only use the funds for the sole purpose of the miles/points purchase at the official sites.

The list of Cash-for-Miles airlines and hotels is subject to change, so always refer to the app for the most up-to-date and confirmed transfer partners.
