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!
