Campaign - M4M & The Points Guy

Limited Time: Your Gift MATCHED. Give NOW.

In a world where over 100 million people have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, and climate disasters, The Points Guy has teamed up with Miles4Migrants to raise funds to support 1,000 Tickets to New Beginnings.

Right now, many forcibly displaced people remain trapped in dangerous situations despite receiving approval to travel to a safe destination because they lack the resources to pay for transportation. Miles4Migrants removes this barrier by using donated cash and frequent flyer points & miles to book flights and help families seeking refuge reach their destination.

With your generous gift today, we can help the most vulnerable escape danger and persecution, reunite with loved ones, and rebuild their lives. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference.

Give now and your *cash gift will be matched by The Points Guy to help families find safety and hope for a better future.

*Miles4Migrants is teaming with The Points Guy to match your one-time gifts made by December 31, 2023, up to a total of $15,000. If your one-time gift is received after December 31, 2023, or after we’ve reached our total match goal, it will not be matched but will still support our lifesaving programs.

FAQs

How does Miles4Migrants identify refugees, asylees, and asylum-seekers to support?

Miles4Migrants fosters relationships with other nonprofits that are working ‘on the ground’ to serve refugees and asylum-seekers directly. Our nonprofit partners, both across the world and within the United States, submit requests for flight assistance to Miles4Migrants. We do not have the capacity to vet flight recipients’ finances to ensure financial need, nor do we specialize in the administrative and legal work required to ensure each flight recipient is authorized to enter their resettlement country. This is where our nonprofit partners come in – each partner is responsible for vetting flight recipients to ensure they have the necessary legal approval and documents to travel to (or, in the case of those released at the US-Mexico border or from immigration detention and legally seeking asylum in the United States, within) their resettlement country. We do not accept flight requests submitted directly from individuals without a nonprofit partner acting as an intermediary. A list of our nonprofit partners is included on our NGO partner page.

What type of frequent flyer miles and credit card points does Miles4Migrants accept?

We accept points and miles from many major loyalty programs, airline, and credit card programs. Miles4Migrants partners directly with the following loyalty programs so you can transfer your miles directly into Miles4Migrants pooled accounts:

United Airlines MileagePlus
Air Canada Aeroplan
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan
JetBlue TrueBlue
Air France – KLM Flying Blue

Other commonly donated miles/points:

Southwest Rapid Rewards
Delta SkyMiles
Lufthansa Miles and More
American Express Membership Rewards
Chase Ultimate Rewards
Capital One Miles
Citi ThankYou Points

If I don't have enough miles or points, can I donate money?

Yes! Cash donations are a big help in addition to miles.

While frequent flyer miles cover most airfare expenses, cash is needed for each ticket to cover taxes, departure and arrival fees, and fuel surcharges. While our unique model allows supporters to donate miles, points, and vouchers, we use cash to pay taxes, fees, and to keep our doors open. From paying our dedicated staff who work tirelessly to reunite families, to covering administrative costs and ensuring our campaigns reach those who can help – every dollar you donate has a direct impact.

Currently we are behind, very behind. We need your help to get caught up!
