Converting 'electronic' air miles into paper air miles...

Clasics

...can it be done? Had a look on their site and can't find anything about this. We have almost 3,000 from the Mint card (who have stopped doing them now, I think) and have no need for them so wanted to stick 'em on ebay to raise much needed funds. TIA!

Bump - anyone know? TIA!

Are these the GENUINE Aimiles - https://www.airmiles.co.uk - or some other travel miles promotion ? (Only I know Virgin do some, as do BMI, Ryanair and American Express - and they are all different)

The only reason I ask is that I thought that only 1 company in any particular business sector was allowed to issue them.
eg, Petrol is Shell, supermarket is Tesco via their Clubcard (took up the option after Sainsburys and Nectar dropped them) etc...

..and CREDIT CARDS was covered by the Natwest Bank - I've got their Mastercard, Visa and "AirMiles card"

If you can't convert them to paper ones, then it may be an idea to convert the miles into attraction vouchers and then sell them on e-bay. The London Eye costs approx 130 air miles and I sold an unused voucher for £10.50 (an adult ticket costs £13 on the day). Converted Legoland vouchers also go well, as do UCI/Odeon Vouchers. Good luck either way.

Hi, thanks for the reply, and yes, they are genuine air miles, issued by RBS/Mint card on spend. We get a statement from airmiles every so often detailing the amount we have accrued. We've never used them so now have close to 3,000 but have never received paper ones, just electronic. As we won't be using them (paying off the debt that helped accrue them!!) I checked on ebay and the paper versions seem to go for decent money! Every little helps.

Many thanks for that, if we can't convert them to paper ones, that's certainly something to think about! Cheers! :beer:
