How the Brex corporate card’s rewards program works, where its transfer partners are worth using, what Brex points are actually worth in 2026 — and what to do with a balance your company will never redeem.
Brex is a corporate charge card and spend-management platform built for startups and growth-stage companies, not individual consumers. To open an account, a business needs an EIN and a formal legal structure (C-corp, S-corp, LLC, or LLP) — sole proprietorships and general partnerships aren’t eligible. Eligibility scales with company size: funded startups generally need at least $50,000 in cash reserves, mid-market companies need $400,000+ in monthly revenue, and commercial businesses need $1 million+ in annual revenue. This is a meaningfully narrower audience than a typical small-business rewards card.
Every dollar spent on a Brex card earns Brex Rewards points, a proprietary currency that can be redeemed for cash back, Brex Travel bookings, gift cards, or transferred to a short list of airline partners.
There’s a real spread depending on how you redeem: 0.6 cents for cash back/statement credit (the floor, since the March 2023 devaluation cut this from 1 cent), roughly 1 cent through Brex Travel, and 1.5-2 cents on a strong airline transfer redemption — but only if you find the space and book it.
| Balance | CFMM cash offer* | Editorial “best case” value (~1¢-1.5¢/pt) |
|---|---|---|
| 50,000 points | ~$450 | ~$500-$750 |
| 100,000 points | ~$900 | ~$1,000-$1,500 |
| 500,000 points | ~$4,500 | ~$5,000-$7,500 |
| 1,000,000 points | ~$9,000 | ~$10,000-$15,000 |
*Based on CFMM’s published Brex Rewards buy-rate as of August 2026 (currently ~0.9¢/point, for balances from 50,000 up to a 1,000,000-point program cap). Your exact quote is confirmed when you submit a balance.
Notice that CFMM’s cash offer already sits above the program’s own 0.6-cent cash-back floor — selling can outperform simply cashing out through Brex itself, without the work of finding and booking an airline transfer.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| No annual fee, 0% foreign transaction fee on the core card | Eligibility is real: funded/$50k cash, $400k/mo, or $1M/yr minimums |
| Up to 7x points on top spend categories | Cash-back floor was cut 40% (1¢ to 0.6¢) in March 2023 |
| Seven airline transfer partners incl. Flying Blue, KrisFlyer, LifeMiles | Transfer ratio has drifted less favorable on some partners (1,500-1,670:1,000) |
| Brex Travel redemptions beat the cash-back floor | No fixed self-service point valuation the way major airline miles have |
| CFMM buys balances 50,000-1,000,000 points for cash | Best value needs a transfer + award search most business owners won’t do |
Brex points are useful if your business actually books travel through the platform or transfers into a partner program with intent. For a lot of finance teams, that’s not a priority — and that’s when selling makes sense:
Cash For My Miles buys Brex Rewards points for cash — same-day quote, no fees, and you’re paid before we redeem.
Brex Rewards is the points program tied to the Brex corporate charge card, built for startups and scaling businesses. Cardholders earn points on card spend and can redeem them for statement credits/cash, Brex Travel bookings, or transfers to a handful of airline partners.
Cash back and statement credits are worth a flat 0.6 cents per point (after a March 2023 devaluation from 1 cent). Brex Travel bookings run closer to 1 cent per point. Transferring to an airline partner and booking a strong premium-cabin award can push the value toward 1.5-2 cents per point, but that only applies if the transfer and the award both work out.
Brex now serves a range of company sizes, but eligibility has real minimums: funded startups generally need at least $50,000 in cash reserves, mid-market companies need $400,000+ in monthly revenue, and commercial businesses need $1 million+ in annual revenue. It’s no longer the open-to-any-startup card it was in its earliest years.
Yes. Cash For My Miles buys Brex Rewards points for cash for balances starting around 50,000 points and up to 1,000,000 points. Same-day quote, no fees, and you’re paid before we redeem.
Most sellers are paid within 1 to 3 days after a quick verification step, and payment goes out before we redeem the points. Start with a same-day quote to see your offer.
Brex does not publish a fixed expiration timer on points balances the way some airline programs do, but points are tied to your Brex account and card relationship — closing the account or losing card eligibility can put a balance at risk. Check your current Brex terms for the specifics on your account.
