Now that you have accumulated all of these Delta SkyMiles, how can you use these miles for free travel? The options are listed below.  Also, click here to read about how The Points Mom used Delta SkyMiles for free flights to Hawaii, Denver 2X, Vancouver, Portland, ItalyTampaDC and Maui. 

1. Use Miles For Flights

You can use your miles to book a flight on Delta Air Lines, SkyTeam Global Alliance Partners and other SkyMiles partners.  Click here to see the full list of airline partners.

2. Use Miles For Upgrades

You can use miles to request an upgrade with SkyMiles. You can read more about that here.

3. Use Miles With “Pay with Miles”

You can redeem your miles towards all or part of the price of your Delta tickets.  Pay with Miles is an exclusive benefit for card members who have the Gold and Platinum Delta SkyMiles (personal or business) or American Express Delta Skymiles Reserve Credit Card. This benefit allows Card Members to use their miles, starting at just 5,000 miles, to discount the price of Delta tickets. Regardless of ticket price, you  reduce the cost of their ticket by up to $50 for every 5,000 miles. For example, redeeming 10,000 of your miles takes $100 off your fare, 15,000 miles takes $150 off, 20,000 miles takes $200 off, etc.

Note-Pay with Miles tickets are eligible for MQMs and MQSs. In addition, Pay with Miles tickets will earn mileage and MQDs for the portion of the base fare and surcharges remaining that is paid in currency after miles are applied to the ticket total.

4.  Use Miles For Delta SkyClub

Use your miles to join Delta SkyClub, Delta’s airport lounge club.

5.  Know That Delta SkyMiles Never Expire

A huge shout out to CINDY GREENSTEIN, aka The Points Mom, for helping me book our flights to Greece using points. Money wise it would have cost $12k. I learned so much from her! Contact her. You will not be disappointed.
