Systems and methods for managing mileage value accounts are provided. One such method includes receiving a presentation instrument having an account identifier stored thereon, and transmitting the account identifier and a purchase item identifier from a point-of-sale device to a host computer system. Using the host computer system, a customer account is identified based on the account identifier. A mileage value is associated to the purchase item identifier. The customer account is debited by the mileage value associated to the purchase item identifier. In this manner, the customer uses their mileage value account for the purchase of desired items or services. For airline travelers, the items may include a meal, a beverage, or a movie.
