How to Earn Miles
Earn miles the way that works best for you with SkyMiles® — whether it’s flying, using your Delta SkyMiles® American Express Card, with our SkyMiles partners or all the above. With different ways to earn miles and the ability to redeem at any time, your next trip is closer than you think.
Earn Miles When You Fly
SkyMiles Members earn miles* when they fly.
Earn miles by entering your SkyMiles number when you book a flight or after booking in My Trips.
Earn 5 miles per $1 spent* on Delta-marketed flights in Main Cabin or above*.
On partner flights and on certain exception fares, you’ll earn miles differently.
Note, miles are earned by the Member who is flying (whose name and SkyMiles number are listed on the ticket), regardless of who purchased the flight.
*Basic Economy tickets do not earn miles. Ticket price eligible to earn miles includes base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges, but excludes government-imposed taxes and fees.
