Do Just One Thing
If you have airline miles with carriers you rarely fly, consider donating them to charity instead of letting them go unused. Many major airlines allow you to contribute miles through their loyalty programs to vetted nonprofit partners, which use them to book travel for humanitarian work. Minimum donations vary, often starting around 500 to 1,000 miles, though some programs require more. While organizations like UNICEF, Habitat for Humanity and others may participate through airline programs, the exact charities available depend on the airline. Donating is typically as simple as logging in to your frequent flyer account and selecting a “Donate Miles” option.
