How to Use Miles
Do More with Miles
You’ve got flexibility with your miles with the ability to book Award Travel for yourself or for someone else – even if you’re not flying with them. Plus, you can always buy more, gift or transfer them, or even donate your miles to a cause you care about.
Buy Miles
A little short on miles? You don’t have to wait for your next flight to earn the miles you need now. Purchase additional miles and use them on all of your favorite redemption options, like upgrades, Delta Sky Club® memberships and more. After you purchase, your miles will be applied to your account within 24 hours. Some terms and conditions apply.
Give the Gift of Miles
When you give miles, you’re giving the gift of travel, which means seeing new places and seeking out new adventures. Just enter the recipient’s name, email and SkyMiles number. You can send the gift of miles to up to 4 recipients at a time. Some terms and conditions, including transaction fees, apply.
Transfer Your Miles
Is someone you know short of miles? Help get your friends and family where they need to go by sharing some of your miles with them. You can transfer miles to up to 4 SkyMiles Members at a time.
