How to earn miles
You can earn SkyMiles miles by flying on Delta Air Lines, by flying on alliance partners (where applicable), and by spending on the airline's co-branded credit cards. Many programs also let you transfer points in from flexible bank programs like Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, Capital One miles, or Bilt Rewards.
How to redeem miles
The most rewarding redemptions are usually international premium cabins booked on Delta Air Lines or its partners. Always compare the program's award rate against partner programs—sometimes a transferable-points program offers the same flight at half the cost.
