Xiaomi Points (or Mi Points) are the internal currency of the brand ecosystem that can be earned for activity in applications, purchases and participation in promotions. But many users face the problem: how to spend them effectively to get real benefits? In this article, we will examine all the current ways to exchange points for discounts, gadgets and even services, from the obvious to the little-known.
It's important to understand that Mi Points is regularly updated: some options disappear, new partners and bonuses appear. We've analyzed the current conditions for 2026 (including regional features for Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus) and collected only working methods. If you have been accumulating points for years, but do not know how to monetize them, this guide is for you.
1. Exchange points for discounts in the official Xiaomi store
The most direct way to spend Mi Points is to convert them into coupons for purchases in Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO brand stores.
- 🛒 Affiliate Stores: Points are available from official online stores (mi.com, mi-store.ru) and some offline locations. Check the list of partners in the Mi Community app, which may vary by region.
- 💰 Exchange rate: Normally 100 Mi Points = 1 ₽ /1 ₴ /0.2 $ (check the exact rate in your personal account). For example, a discount in 500 ₽ will require 50 000 points.
- ⏳ Restrictions: Coupons are valid for 30 days, can not be combined with other promotional codes. Certain categories of goods (for example, Xiaomi SUV or smart home accessories) can be excluded from the promotion.
To exchange points for a discount:
- Open the Mi Community app or go to mi.com under "My scores".
- Select the tab "Exchange for coupon".
- Specify the desired amount of the discount (the available options depend on your balance).
- Confirm the exchange - the coupon will come to the post office or in the "My coupons" section in the application.
⚠️ Warning: When exchanging points for coupons, check their expiration date. Some promo codes are activated only when you purchase certain categories of goods (e.g., only smartphones or wearable electronics).
2. Buying gadgets for points: what you can get for free
In some regions (e.g. China and India), Xiaomi allows full payment with points, but in Russia and the CIS, this option is limited, but there are alternatives:
| Goods/services | Cost in points | Region | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Case for Redmi Note 12 | 1 500–3 000 | Russia, Kazakhstan | Available in the "Accessory" or "Mi Fan Festival" sections |
| Power Bank Mi 10000mAh | 8 000–12 000 | All regions | He often appears in stocks |
| Subscription of Mi Cloud Pro (1 month) | 500–800 | Russia, Belarus | Exchange is available in the Mi Cloud app |
| 10% off on Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro | 15 000 | Russian Federation | Only when buying in the official store |
To find products available for points:
- In the Mi Community app, go to the "Mi Store" section.
- Activate the Available for Points filter (or Exchange for Points in English).
- Please note the items marked "Limited Stock" - their quantity is limited.
Lifehack: Watch out for the Mi Fan Festival (usually in April) during which exclusive points items like Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro are introduced, with up to 50% off when paying points.
💡
If you plan to buy an expensive gadget (such as Xiaomi 14 Ultra), accumulate points in advance and exchange them for a coupon immediately before buying – so you avoid point inflation (sometimes Xiaomi devalues the exchange rate).
3. Payment for subscriptions: Mi Cloud, Mi Video and other services
Mi Points can be used to extend Xiaomi ecosystem subscriptions, which is beneficial if you actively use cloud storage or brand streaming services.
- ☁️ Mi Cloud: Exchange 5,000 points for 1 month of Mi Cloud Pro (200GB of storage). A yearly subscription would require ~50,000 points.
- 🎬 Mi Video: 3,000 points = 1 month of premium ad-free access. Relevant for Xiaomi smart TV users.
- 🎵 Mi Music: In some regions (e.g. India) you can pay for a music subscription for 2,000 points/month.
How to activate a subscription for points:
- Open the Mi Cloud app (or other service).
- Go to Settings → Premium Functions → Payment with points.
- Select the tariff and confirm the write-off of points.
⚠️ Warning: Point-paid subscriptions are not always renewed automatically. 3 days before the deadline, you will receive a notification offering to renew for new points or money.
4. Participation in closed sales and early access
One of the most profitable ways to spend Mi Points is to access exclusive sales or early sales of new gadgets.
- 📱 Early Smartphone Access: 50,000+ Point holders can book a new Redmi or POCO 2-3 days before the official release.
- 🛍️ Closed Sales: The Mi Community app periodically features items discounted up to 70%, available only for points.
- 🎁 Bonus sets: For example, when you buy Xiaomi Pad 6 for points, you can get a free Xiaomi Smart Pen.
How to find such offers:
- In the Mi Community app, go to the "Exclusive" or "VIP-Offerts" section.
- Activate notifications for new promotions in your profile settings.
- Check out the Mi Fan Festival section, as there are often unique offers.
Example: In 2023, during the Mi Fan Festival, users could exchange 30,000 points for Redmi Buds 4 Lite (market price: 2,500₽), which appears 2-3 times a year.
