The Data Room
Closing prices, drop calendars, and market trends for every points-and-miles auction we track — for the data nerds.
The state of the market
Where things stand
Every points-and-miles auction we've ever tracked, turned into charts. The headline counts and all figures below are recomputed weekly.
Closed & archived counts only trusted closes — a verified winning bid, or an auction we watched receive bids. Coverage: Mar 16 – Jul 8, 2026.
The signature chart
When do programs drop new auctions?
Each program has a rhythm. Marriott dumps a huge batch on Mondays; Delta clusters on Tuesdays; Hilton and Qatar favor Fridays. Below: weekly release volume, then the day-of-week fingerprint.
New listings by ISO week and first-capture date. Click a program to toggle it. The final week is partial.
The weekly fingerprint
Darker = that program's favorite day to post.
Share of each program's drops by weekday (last ~130 days, top 6 programs). Outlined cell = its busiest day.
Closing prices
How much do auctions close at?
The spread of closing prices, per program and per category. Each bar is the typical range with the median marked and a whisker to the priciest close.
Box = typical range (25th–75th percentile); line = median; whisker = priciest close. Log scale. Trusted closes only.

"Verified" = we confirmed the winning bid after close; "last-seen" = live bids recorded but the final wasn't re-confirmed (Delta, e.g., publishes no finals). Medians are in each program's own points or miles — not comparable across programs (a Marriott point isn't an Alaska mile). Trusted closes only, programs with ≥5 closes. Click a header to re-sort.

The wallflowers
Auctions that closed with zero bids
Not everything gets love. 62 auctions closed without a single bid — often overpriced concert seats or niche events.
Closes where the platform confirmed no bids were placed. Teasers pulled before opening are excluded.
Market composition
What gets auctioned?
Sports and entertainment are the whole ballgame. Left: every closed auction by category with its median. Right: what each program leans into.
Category counts from the closed archive; program mix from current live inventory.
Competition
How contested is the average auction?
Most auctions get bid on — but lightly. Here's the full distribution of bids per closed auction.
Median 7 bids per closed auction; 6.4% drew none. The single most common outcome is one bid. Trusted closes, 0–40 bids shown.
By the numbers
Odds & ends for the data nerds
How this is made
Method
What counts as a "close." We only make price claims about trusted closes: an auction with a verified winning bid, or one we watched receive real bids before it ended. Teasers pulled before opening, and closes we couldn't confirm, are excluded from every average, median, and ranking. Verified and last-seen prices are always labeled — never blended.
Why no dollar values. A point's cash value depends on the program, your status, and transfer windows — there's no honest single exchange rate. So everything stays in native points or miles.
Freshness. The figures on this page are recomputed once a week (overnight US Eastern) and cached, so it stays fast no matter the traffic. Last updated July 8, 2026.
