Uptrip & Loyalty

In mid-September, the new Uptrip collections came into focus. What almost went unnoticed: Uptrip also updated features and card designs.

New Uptrip Card Designs

Since Uptrip neither communicates minor changes publicly nor in the App Store release notes, it only became clear over time that some cards received new designs – or, in some cases, a design for the very first time. The following cards are affected:

• Brussels Airlines cards: Instead of the previous dark-blue design with the red “b” on the tail, newly issued cards now feature the familiar red dots.
• Brussels Airlines A320neo: Newly introduced and already added to our Uptrip exchange marketplace.
• Eurowings 737-800: This card has received a design for the first time. Currently available through a wet-lease partner, but according to fleet planning it will become part of the regular Eurowings fleet in 2027.
• Swiss Embraer 195-2: This card recently appeared on the Uptrip marketplace. In fact, it was not new – it is the former “Embraer RJ-295,” simply rebranded with a new name and updated design.

If you spot any further updates, we’d be happy to hear from you!

Review of the Uptrip changes

It’s great to see that missing card designs have been added. Another positive point: older designs are not being overwritten, which is an important aspect for collectors.

Still, questions remain. Why does the very same card appear with a different name in the marketplace than in the personal collection view? This is at least confusing and can even lead to unwanted trades. Anyone who expected a brand-new card under the “195-2” name was left disappointed.

The Brussels Airlines design update also comes with a downside. Visually, the new look is an improvement. However, both the old and the new designs are considered the same card. Collectors cannot filter or specify which version they want, which is inconvenient. In our view, this would have been the perfect moment for Uptrip to make use of its own Editions feature.

So far, almost all cards (with one exception—more on that another time) are listed as Edition 1 (visible in the bottom-right corner of each card). Wouldn’t this have been the ideal time to introduce Edition 2? Perhaps someone at Uptrip will pick up on this suggestion. A retroactive adjustment should be technically possible.

One Bug Fixed, Another Introduced?

Uptrip also fixed a known bug that caused the app to freeze when placing a marketplace offer. The functionality of the “Create Offer” button was adjusted: pressing it now keeps users on the offer overview screen, and the app no longer crashes.

The drawback: users who were accustomed to the old process now often end up unintentionally spamming duplicate offers. Since there is no confirmation message, every repeated click successfully creates another identical offer.

Our take: users will quickly get used to the new behavior, and the shorter click paths are an improvement. Overall, we find the change positive after initial skepticism. Still, adding a small anti-spam mechanism – for example blocking duplicate offers within a few seconds – would be a welcome improvement.

Uptrip Design News Conclusion

It’s good to see that Uptrip continues to work on improvements and adds missing card designs. However, we would also like to see progress in other areas—and ideally, at a faster development pace overall.

Sustainability is no longer a side issue – it affects us all, including aviation. The Lufthansa Group has set the ambitious target of becoming CO₂-neutral by 2050. With Miles & More, frequent flyers can actively contribute to this goal – and get rewarded for it.

Those who offset their flights’ CO₂ emissions or choose sustainable fares receive extra benefits: more miles, Points and Qualifying Points. Of course, these options are not free of charge – and they are likely designed to benefit Lufthansa as well.

Three Miles & More options for sustainable flying

Miles & More offers flexible ways to reduce your CO₂ footprint while collecting additional miles and status points:

1. Book Green Fares – CO₂ offset directly included in the ticket

• The ticket price already includes a CO₂ offset.
• Up to 20% additional miles, Points & HON Circle Points (only 10% on intercontinental flights).
• From around €35 surcharge per segment within Germany in Economy Class.

2. CO₂ offset packages before departure

• Choose from individual packages, some including SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel).
• Up to 6 miles per €1 and 80% more status points.
• HON Circle Points are limited to 20% extra and can only be earned on Business and First Class offsets.
• Prices range from under €10 per segment to four-digit sums.

3. Offset flights retrospectively

• Offsetting after the flight is possible via the Miles & More app or website.
• Available for all flights of the current calendar year.
• Pricing and HON Circle Point rules apply as with the packages above.

Is the Miles & More CO₂ offset worth it?

At Scantofly.de we generally welcome initiatives for more sustainable flying – or at least for supporting meaningful climate protection projects. How sustainable the projects supported by Lufthansa actually are is difficult to assess from the outside. A higher share of SAF is, however, always a positive step.

The key factor is the value for money: those willing to spend more on offset packages can indeed benefit from attractive Points and QP credits – but sometimes only at a very steep price. Not every offset option appears cost-effective.

The Miles & More CO₂ Offset becomes especially interesting for frequent flyers who are just short of qualifying for a status level at the end of the year: instead of booking extra mileage runs (which are certainly not in the spirit of sustainability), it may be cheaper and smarter to offset selected flights. This way, you can also avoid the expensive miles-for-points conversion (offered to credit card holders).

Interestingly, Lufthansa seems to be in an offering mood, when it comes to Miles and status points promotions. Currently, they run a campaign for the credit card swap to Deutsche Bank, a new Marriott cooperation and also a new Uptrip collection for status points at the same time.

Today, Miles & More announced that you can now earn both Points and Qualifying Points when you offset the CO₂ emissions of your flights. Sounds great on paper. In practice? Well, let’s just say: the system seems allergic to actually working. Neither the app nor the website managed to get me through the process without breaking.

But hey, Miles & More bugs aren’t exactly rare. It sometimes feels like their IT department’s motto is: “Ship it first, test it later – if ever.” So, here’s a little highlight reel of the situation shortly after go-live.

Miles & More Points for CO₂ Offsetting

So you click through the newsletter or the Miles & More site, pick the flight(s) you’d like to offset, and… voilà:

If you stubbornly try again, you’ll be told that the flight is already offset. (It isn’t.) I even tried switching the language, hoping that maybe the German version was just broken. Spoiler: the English version was broken too.

Update as of 26.09.: The problem seems to be resolved. For all who tried it out yesterday, you may beed to delete your browser cache or try in an incognito browser window.

Uptrip Collections not redeemable with NFTs

In September, Miles & More released another round of (cool!) Uptrip collections. This time, some of them even offered status points as rewards.

However, anyone hoping to complete a collection using their Uptrip NFT cards was quickly disappointed. Even a week later, the collections still couldn’t be redeemed. Uptrip promised that a fix would be available by the end of the week. (We’ll see about that.)

Update: As of Saturday, 27th of September, collections with NFTs can be redeemed again.

Uptrip Cards Disappearing After Failed Trades

One particularly frustrating bug on the Uptrip marketplace: if you try to accept a trade offer, hand over your card, and start the payment process, you might end up losing your card entirely – without ever completing the trade. If another user happens to click a fraction of a second before you, the card is gone.

Conclusion: Miles & More – Uptrip Glitches

These are just a few examples where Miles & More (and Lufthansa by extension) really fail to shine. The errors are avoidable, yet they keep dragging the user experience down, again and again—for no good reason. Honestly, this could be done so much better.

The Frequent Traveller (FTL) status of Miles & More is the entry point into Lufthansa Group’s status world. Normally, this requires 650 status points and 325 qualifying points – which in practice means about 33 flights.

But there is currently a much simpler shortcut: the FTL Status Collection from Uptrip.

What is the FTL Status Collection at Uptrip?

• Valid until the end of 2027
• Intended only for customers without existing status
• Non-transferable
• Limited availability of 10,000 redemptions

Interestingly, reports in frequent flyer forums suggest that Miles & More has been very generous so far and even extended status for existing FTL members through the collection – in some cases until the end of 2028.

However, you should not rely on this. In case of doubt, it is better to contact Uptrip customer service directly, which is considered far more accessible and flexible than Miles & More itself.

How the FTL Collection Works

To redeem the status, you need 50 cards:

1. 40 Original Cards (earned from actual flight segments)
2. 10 Non-Original Cards (from promotions, exchanges, or purchases)

Card distribution at a glance

• 2 cards per flight segment (1 flight = 2 cards)
• Therefore at least 20 flights for the 40 Original Cards
• Plus 10 Non-Original Cards, which can be collected more flexibly

Earning Extra Cards Without Flying

Getting started is easier than it sounds, since Uptrip already gives cards at the beginning:

• 3 Welcome Cards (Miles & More Member, Travel ID, Uptrip)
• +2 cards through referrals (for example, with this referral code: MA-2E4A6651-12DA when signing up in the app)

With a bit of luck, the referral cards can be exchanged (e.g., Brussels or Paris), effectively giving you 2-for-1 and bringing you even closer to the target. Forum communities also often help with trades if you ask politely. Alternatively, Non-Original Cards can be purchased cheaply as NFTs (for less than €1).

Example Calculation: The Road to FTL with Uptrip

• 20 flights = 40 Original Cards
• +10 Non-Original Cards (from welcome cards, trades, NFTs)
• = 50 cards = FTL status valid until 2027

That means: instead of 33 flights under Miles & More, only 20 flights are required – less than one flight per month. With connections, it becomes even easier.

Pitfalls and Special Cases

1. Train segments don’t count
   Unlike Miles & More, Lufthansa Express Rail segments do not generate cards.
   
2. Uptrip promotions
   Around Christmas 2024, Original Cards were briefly available without flights. These were quickly reclassified as Non-Original.
   
3. Joker Card
   For €10, you can buy a Joker Card, which counts as an Original. This allows you to save at least one flight segment. In the past there were some opportunities to gain the Joker card for free.
   
4. SAF bonus cards
   Cards from the “Make Change Fly” Sustainable Aviation Fuel program are technically Original but not valid for the FTL Collection. Even though terms suggest all cards are redeemable, these SAF cards are excluded. If they counted, one could theoretically reach FTL with just 13 bookings (13*2 cards + 13 SAF cards + Joker = 40 Originals).

Historical Comparison: Easier Again?

Until the end of 2023, FTL was also achievable with 30 flight segments. With the shift to the new points system in 2024, this option disappeared.
The Uptrip Collection is therefore a rare sweet spot: only 20 flights are needed to secure status – valid until the end of 2027 (or in some cases, 2028).

Conclusion: Uptrip Makes FTL Easier Than Ever

The Uptrip FTL Collection is currently the easiest way to achieve Lufthansa Frequent Traveller status, and possibly the cheapest, since award flights also qualify. Instead of 650 points or 33 flights, 20 flights plus some smart collecting or trading of cards is enough.

For newcomers without existing status, this is a real opportunity.

For many months, the integration between Lufthansa and ITA Airways has been progressing. This is also evident with Miles & More: Frequent flyers have long been able to earn points and qualifying points for their status on ITA flights.

One area, however, remains pending – the Uptrip app. Users have been waiting for months for the integration. It is known that Uptrip is working on it. In an interview in May 2025, Uptrip explained that the delay is mainly due to the low priority of this feature compared to the general integration of ITA into Lufthansa’s system landscape. Since then, things have gone quiet.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean much. True to Miles & More style, smaller updates are rarely announced far in advance or discussed with the community. That’s why it’s worth taking a look at which new Uptrip cards we might expect with ITA Airways.

ITA Airways Route Network

The ITA Airways route network gives clues about which new cards are likely. The overlap with existing Uptrip destinations is significant – especially on long-haul routes: Currently, there isn’t a single destination on long-haul routes that isn’t already represented on Uptrip.

The shorter distances are a bit more interesting:

• Medium-haul: One new destination – Tripoli (Libya)
• Short-haul: Four new destinations – Alghero, Reggio Calabria, Pantelleria, Lampedusa

Pantelleria is only served seasonally between July 5 and October 11, which will likely place it among the rare Uptrip cards.

Ita Airways – Flight Destinations

Uptrip Cards Featuring ITA Airways Aircraft

In addition to the destinations, the ITA Airways fleet will of course also be featured as a card set on Uptrip, along with the ITA Airways airline card.

✈ Aircraft marked in red are expected to remain in service with ITA Airways only until the end of 2025. Depending on when ITA Airways is added to Uptrip, the card could become a true rarity or possibly may not exist at all.

Will ITA Airways Flights Be Accepted Retroactively?

Very likely, yes. So far, Uptrip allows flights from the last six months to be scanned retroactively. There’s little reason to think this practice won’t continue with ITA.

However, one shouldn’t expect Miles & More or Uptrip to honor older ITA flights beyond six months as a courtesy. In this case, the “fair use” principle will likely apply – even if the integration has been delayed.

Conclusion on ITA Airways on Uptrip

An official release date is still missing, but the direction is clear: ITA Airways will become part of Uptrip. The new destinations and aircraft cards will expand the portfolio for collectors. Of course, we also expect new collections aimed at attracting the new Italian audience.

Until then, keep your eyes open – Uptrip often announces news on Instagram or in the app store version notes.

Due to numerous questions about fake Uptrip NFT cards, we want to provide a helpful guide: How can you identify fake Uptrip NFTs and what should you watch out for when buying on Opensea.io?

Most Important: The Correct Contract Address

The key element in identifying authentic Uptrip cards – which will also appear in your Uptrip App after purchase – is the contract address.

The correct address is: 0xA59B69E1faD081aF56C472c03D9B7f80AF847C9c

Good news: you don’t need to double-check this address with every single trade. As long as you are browsing the official Uptrip NFT collection, all cards within it will automatically use this address.

Be Careful When Searching on NFT Marketplaces

Look carefully when searching for the Uptrip collection via Opensea or other NFT marketplaces.

Fake NFT collections appear regularly and often show up in the search results right next to the genuine collection. These have nothing to do with Miles & More or Uptrip.

Typical Signs of Fake Uptrip NFT cards

Fake Uptrip NFT cards may look like genuine ones at first glance, but there are several clues (besides the contract address) that give them away:

• Price: Fake cards are often offered at unusually low prices.
• Fractionalization: Many fakes are sold in fragments (e.g., 1/10 or 1/100 shares).
• Collection size: The official Uptrip collection contains over 8,000 cards. Fake collections often have only a few dozen or fewer.
• Collection date: Uptrip launched on the blockchain in August 2023. Collections created after that are likely to be fake.
• Collection URL: If the URL after “Uptrip Cards” includes a number or suffix, it is not the original collection.

Cards Without Images and Metadata

Another pitfall are Uptrip NFTs without images or metadata that are still found within the official collection.

• In some cases, metadata may take a few hours to load.
• Unfortunately, it often happens that no data loads at all, leaving the cards permanently undefined.

We have contacted Uptrip support about this issue and will share their response as soon as it becomes available.

Conclusion: Fake Uptrip NFT Cards

Anyone looking to purchase Uptrip NFT cards via marketplaces such as Opensea should always double-check the contract address and the collection URL.

For those interested in learning more, you can find a detailed analysis of Uptrip’s success with NFTs.

Today it’s finally here: Uptrip has released its new September 2025 collections with Qualifying Points and more. After the last collections went live on August 14, Miles & More continues to follow the roughly monthly rhythm for new releases. Additionally, it’s noticeable that the Uptrip team is increasingly using Instagram between collections to run smaller campaigns, like the recent mini-game accompanying the “Friends-Fly-Higher” promotion, in order to boost interaction and maintain engagement between collections.

As before, we at Scantofly.de have taken a closer look at the new collections:

1. Ready for Takeoff

Reward: 20 Points and 20 Qualifying Points (redeemable up to 5 times, €15 per redemption)

This is a true highlight for collectors aiming for FTL or Senator status. For just 8 cards—5 of which are originals—you can complete this collection. The required cards are relatively common: Frankfurt, Munich, 3 other cities of your choice, and one aircraft each from Lufthansa, Swiss, and Austrian.

The redemption can be done up to 5 times, giving a total of 100 Points and 100 Qualifying Points. These QPs also count toward Lifetime Senator status. However, each additional redemption costs €14.99, meaning a full collection of points costs an extra €60.

At roughly €0.60 per QP, this is still an excellent deal. On the path to Lufthansa Senator status (2,000 Points & 1,000 QPs), this collection is an attractive supplement—providing 5% of the necessary Points and 10% of the necessary QPs, especially useful if you are short on points at year-end. For the Frequent Travellor Status Uptrip offers even a better alternative.

2. Jet Set on Wheels

Reward: Aluminium Business Wheeler (rolling suitcase)

The “Jet Set on Wheels” collection required a whopping 18 cards, including 13 originals. With Tokyo and Johannesburg as mandatory cards, it wasn’t easy to complete quickly, which seems to have increased its appeal: the collection sold out in record time. A travel companion reward for those who were fast enough.

3. Austrian Timeless Travels

Reward: Austrian Airlines Retro-Design Shoulder Bag

A touch of nostalgia: the “Austrian Timeless Travels” collection required 14 cards, 12 of which were originals. The reward was an exclusive Austrian shoulder bag by TITAN—designed in a classic style and finished with Austrian Airlines’ original 1956 logo. A perfect blend of functionality and airline history.

Only three hours after release, the limited edition appears to be selling out fast.

Update: We need to slightly revise our assessment of the availability of this Miles & More offer. Three days after the launch of the new collection, interest in the bag appears to have declined, and there are still around 10 bags available.

Fazit zu den Uptrip Kollektionen im September

The September Uptrip collections are impressive and surpass much of what we’ve seen in recent months. The “Ready for Takeoff” collection, especially with the new €14.99 re-redemption option, could bring fresh dynamics to collecting and redeeming—likely attracting many new users. With “Jet Set on Wheels” and “Austrian Timeless Travels,” Uptrip successfully appeals to brand fans, as the rapid redemptions clearly show.

In the first article, we looked at the different types of rare cards and why they are so interesting for collectors. In this second part, we now dive into concrete examples of rare Uptrip cards: city cards, aircraft cards, special editions, and quirky errors that make Uptrip so appealing. Some of these cards were shared with us by the community through the current Uptrip survey. More about the survey results will be available soon on scantofly.de.

City Cards for rare destinations

City cards from destinations that are no longer served

Some cards are particularly exciting because the destinations were once served but are no longer part of the network:

• Odessa
• St. Petersburg
• Friedrichshafen
• Laage (Rostock)

These cards are true rarities, as it is uncertain whether these destinations will return to the program. Likely, several other destinations also fall into this category. We’re happy to add them upon further notice.

City cards for destinations without Lufthansa Group service

Some city cards seem puzzling because they were never part of the regular Lufthansa, Austrian, or SWISS network, but still appeared as part of special campaigns. Examples of rare Uptrip cards include Jakarta, Hanoi, Montevideo, or Florence (USA). Why Miles & More issued these cards at all remains unclear – perhaps simply to expand the card offering.

Aircraft Cards of rare or retired carrier types

Aircraft cards can also have high rarity value if the aircraft types are no longer in regular service:

• Airbus A330-300 – available in small numbers.
• Lufthansa Embraer 170 and 175 – retired by 2023 at the latest.
• A300-600 – has been out of service for many years. Since Uptrip is only 3 years old, this card was never earned through regular flights.

Outlook: With the introduction of new aircraft such as the Dreamliner, the Airbus A340-300 as well as the A340-600 will gradually disappear (the latter already in November 2025). Their card values are likely to rise over time. Other Lufthansa Group airlines such as SWISS, Eurowings, or Edelweiss are also in the process of restructuring and modernizing their fleets. Beyond that, there are further rarities tied to special configurations like the 747-400F or 747-400M.modernisieren. Darüber hinaus gibt es weitere Raritäten, die mit speziellen Konfigurationen wie der 747-400F 747-400M.

Aircraft Cards from wet-lease operations

With wet-lease agreements, other airlines operate aircraft for the Lufthansa Group. This leads to cards that otherwise wouldn’t exist in the portfolio. Often, however, these come without their own aircraft design:

• Boeing 737-800
• Airbus A318
• Boeing 767-31K

Aircraft Cards from faulty allocations

Sometimes fascinating cards appear simply due to system errors. Examples include:

• Cessna Citation CJ1 – who doesn’t know this Lufthansa classic?
• Cessna 510
• Boeing 747-200F – a type that hasn’t been in active Lufthansa service for decades.

These cards are especially sought after, as they weren’t planned and therefore exist only in very small numbers.

Special one-time or limited edition cards

From time to time, Uptrip issues cards that are only available once or in very limited quantities:

• Special campaign “Find me if you can”: Numerous bronze cards were distributed, plus 10 silver and 3 gold cards.
• Seasonal cards: e.g., New Year’s Eve (Dec 31), Merry Christmas (Dec 24), or Halloween.
• Campaign cards: Community Flight Cards (Mallorca for example), First Class, LH Longest Flight, Oktoberfest 2024.

Conclusion

Rare Uptrip cards have a wide variety of backgrounds: from discontinued destinations to seasonal specials, to errors or limited-edition campaigns. For collectors, this very diversity is what makes them so appealing. For tips and strategies on how to actually get rare Uptrip cards, check out the first part of our article.

Rare Uptrip cards have a double appeal: for collectors, they’re a highlight, and for users who want to complete Uptrip collections, they’re a valuable bargaining chip. As soon as a new collection is released, demand for certain cards skyrockets – and with a rare card in hand, you can often negotiate an especially good trade.

Temporarily hard to get or truly rare?

Truly rare Uptrip cards, on the other hand, exist because they were issued in smaller numbers from the very beginning or because they are no longer, or only under special circumstances, available.

Categories of rare uptrip cards

Rare Uptrip cards can roughly be grouped as follows:

• 🏙️ City cards for rare destinations – Places that are rarely served or only reachable seasonally.
• 🛬 City cards from destinations no longer or only recently served – Historic or new destinations with collector value.
• 🌍 City cards from destinations never served by the LH Group – Released as part of special promotions.
• ✈️ Aircraft cards of rare models – Planes that have been retired or are rarely in service.
• 🔄 Aircraft cards from wet leases – Aircraft temporarily operated for Lufthansa.
• ⚠️ Faulty aircraft cards – Cards created through incomplete allocation.
• 🎉 Special limited-edition cards – Unique or very rare cards for events and promotions.

While some Lufthansa fans only focus on cards tied to Lufthansa Group destinations, other collectors are interested in anything that carries rarity value. In the second part of this article, we’ll showcase some concrete examples of rare Uptrip cards.

Strategies to get rare cards

1. Actively monitor the marketplace

Regularly scanning the marketplace takes time but can pay off – especially right after new collections are launched. Experience shows that rare cards often appear then, as users rush to get the cards they need for the collection. The first few hours after Miles & More releases new collections are particularly promising.

2. Place your own offers

Those who consistently put up trade offers increase their chances of eventually picking up rare cards. Attractive offers are key: nobody will give away their rarities for just a standard card.

Tip: Offer concrete trades – for example, one of your own rare duplicates in exchange for an equivalent rare card. Sweeten your offer with a second, less rare card (a 2-for-1 trade). This increases the appeal of your offer compared to others, especially when rare cards are openly listed.

Note: Don’t overdo it. Too many offers can look like spam and discourage other Uptrip marketplace users.

3. Search NFT marketplaces

From time to time, rare Uptrip cards also pop up on platforms like OpenSea or Rarible. However, you’ll need a wallet connected to NFT marketplaces. You can find a step-by-step guide to your first Uptrip NFT card on the official Uptrip help page.

4. Contact users directly

Some collectors provide contact details in their profile. In addition, there are forums and Facebook groups where you can specifically look for trading partners.

5. Use the Scantofly.de Uptrip Trading Platform

Not all cards can be found via the in-app search. Particularly rare ones often don’t show up there at all. The free Uptrip trading platform from Scantofly.de is a valuable supplement and makes targeted searching much easier.

Conclusion

Rare Uptrip cards are not only a highlight for collectors but also strategically valuable for trading. Those who understand which cards are truly rare and which are only temporarily sold out can collect more effectively – and by applying clever strategies, significantly increase their chances of securing real rarities. In the second part of our article on rare Uptrip cards, we’ll present examples of cards from each of the categories listed above.

If you’re using the Uptrip app, you’ll know the problem: the marketplace often makes it difficult to find suitable trading partners for your cards. You rarely know which cards the other person is still looking for or which ones they have duplicates of – which usually results in countless “blind attempts.”

To make this process simpler and faster, we have developed an Uptrip Trading Tool that helps you trade Uptrip cards more efficiently. In this blog post, we’ll explain how the tool works, how you can use it, and what advantages it offers.

What Is the Uptrip Marketplace Tool?

Our tool is an external addition to the Uptrip app that makes card trading clearer and more targeted.

With the tool, you can:

• Manage and search your own card collection in a structured way in your Uptrip dashboard
• Add cards to a personal wishlist
• See potential matches directly on our card trading hub – no more endless searching
• Exclude cards you don’t want to trade
• Find statistics on the completeness of your collection.

This will hopefully save you a lot of time on the Uptrip marketplace and help you find suitable trading partners more quickly.

👉 Important: This is not an official Uptrip feature, but rather a hobby project we created. We have no business relationship with Miles & More.

Step by Step: How to Use the Tool

1. Registration

Visit our card tool dashboard and create an account.

💡 Tip: Use the same username as in the Uptrip app so that your trading partners can easily recognize you.

2. Add Your Card Collection

Once logged in, you’ll arrive at your personal card dashboard. Here, you can manually enter your Uptrip card collection. (Unfortunately, there’s no direct synchronization since Uptrip does not provide an API.)

3. Manage Wishlist & Exclusions

You can add Uptrip cards you really want to your wishlist.

💡 Tip: Use this feature sparingly so that matches focus only on the cards that are truly important to you.

At the same time, you can exclude cards you don’t want to trade.

4. View Trade Overview

Based on your settings, the tool automatically shows you all possible matches with other users. In the beginning, trade options may be limited – but the more people use the tool, the more exciting the results will become.

5. Offer a Trade in Uptrip

Once you’ve found a match, you can initiate the trade directly in the Uptrip app – as long as your trading partner uses the same username in the tool.

Feel free to share the tool with other collectors, for example in your Uptrip profile info, to help the community grow.

6. View your card statistics

Once you enter your cards, you will see an overview of the completeness of your collection, according to the categories defined by Uptrip (All cards, Airlines, Airplanes, Cities, Special, Insight Art).

Why Is the Tool Helpful?

The biggest weakness of the official Uptrip app by Miles & More is the lack of transparency regarding the cards your trading partners are looking for. Our tool directly solves this issue:

• More targeted trades: You immediately see which card offers make sense.
• Better overview: Especially useful if you have a larger collection.
• Faster search: No more random offers – structured matches instead.
• Collection management: Easier internal organization, including a word search feature that Uptrip itself doesn’t have.

Current Limitations & Notes

• 🔔 No notification function yet – so check the tool regularly to discover new trades.
• 🖼️ We are not using the original Uptrip card designs, but our own versions. We will, however, ask Uptrip for permission to use their designs in the future.
• 🎨 Pixel Art designs (Allegris) are excluded, as they are hard to represent due to many color variations and missing names.
• 🃏 Some cards appear in the tool that are not visible on the official Uptrip marketplace.
• ⚠️ The tool is still an early version – so bugs may occur at first.
• 📧 Suggestions (e.g., missing cards or features), feedback, or bug reports can be sent to: support@scantofly.de

Conclusion: The Uptrip Marketplace Tool

Our Uptrip trading tool makes card trading simpler, faster, and more organized. Especially if you have a larger collection, it saves you a lot of time and frustration.

👉 Try it out, share it with others, and help the community grow. The more collectors use it, the better the matching will work!

By the way, we also have more details on the development of the tool and what to expect next. Enjoy trading – and good luck completing your collection!
