'There are many different methods to earn Delta SkyMiles, which are points, and the airline has a broad route network with important hubs in big cities around the United States. Delta is in charge of marketing the flight, even though it is operated by another airline. Even cheaper tickets may be had by taking advantage of the airline's frequent award deals, which start at 5,000 SkyMiles for a round-trip ticket.

'In addition, accumulating 'Delta SkyMiles' is a rather simple process. We'll walk you through how you may contribute to your SkyMiles balance, such as making purchases with travel rewards credit cards, traveling on Delta or one of its partner airlines, transferring miles from other programs, and more.

'Earning When Flying With Delta

'
'

'You will earn SkyMiles based on the base price of your ticket while traveling on Delta-operated flights. This price does not include any taxes that the government may charge. Passengers who do not have elite status are awarded 5 miles for every dollar paid on the flight, excluding applicable taxes and fees. It is important to bear in mind that although this revenue-based plan is employed for earning reasons, attaining Delta Medallion status is still determined by the total distance traveled, not merely the amount of money spent. A minimum of 500 Medallion Qualification Miles will be awarded upon completing each flight that is qualified to earn MQMs.

'
'

'For instance, if you travel from Newark to Detroit in economy class, you would receive 500 MQMs even if the journey only covers 488 miles. This is because the flight time is longer than the actual distance flown.

'
'

'Elite Status Bonuses

'
'

'Additionally, individuals who have achieved the elite level of Delta Medallion will earn miles faster than those who do not; the higher your status, the more miles you will accumulate. For every dollar they spend, 'SkyMiles' Medallion members get the following number of miles:

'
'

'
'

'
• 'Silver Medallion: 7 miles.
'
• 'Gold Medallion: 8 miles.
'
• 'Platinum Medallion: 9 miles.
'
• 'Diamond Medallion: 11 miles.
'
• 'This indicates that a Diamond Medallion member would earn 12,100 SkyMiles on the exact ticket price of $1,100 we covered previously in the conversation.

'Earn Rewards When Traveling With Airline Partners

'
'

'Things may get rather complex when trying to earn miles on Delta's partner airlines. Depending on how the ticket is bought, passengers on these flights may earn miles in a manner that is distinct from that of passengers flying on flights operated by Delta. The most straightforward example is airline reservations made on Delta ticket stock, which is often the case when making reservations on Delta.com. Delta is in charge of marketing the flight, even though it is operated by another airline. Therefore, you will accumulate miles in the same manner as you would with a typical Delta trip.

'
'

'What will happen, though, if you book a ticket with a partner airline on the website of a partner airline and then add your Delta SkyMiles number after the fact? In this instance, the number of miles you earn is determined by the total distance you fly. However, the precise quantity of SkyMiles you will accumulate will differ depending on the airline partner, price class, and elite status. For instance, if you took a flight that was both operated and booked by Aeromexico, you would receive the following number of SkyMiles:

'
'

'
• 'If you look at the chart provided, you'll see that booking tickets in higher price classes result in a greater accumulation of miles. By phoning the airline that issued your tickets or reviewing the electronic ticket that was delivered to your email after the purchase, you should be able to determine the fare class you are assigned.
'
• 'Let's have a look at an illustration, shall we? There are 2,090 miles between New York City and Mexico City, which may travel in a nonstop trip between the two cities. You would get 2,090 SkyMiles if you purchased this ticket using an H fare economy ticket since that fare receives the full amount of miles.
'

'
'

'Make Money with Credit Cards

'
'

'Using a credit 'card' co-branded with Delta allows you to accumulate SkyMiles easily. The usage of co-branded credit cards is, by far and away, the simplest method to rack up a significant number of Delta SkyMiles. This applies to both the welcome bonuses and general spending on the cards. Seven distinct Delta credit cards can now be obtained via American Express. Each of these cards comes with its unique collection of advantages and privileges. Some are oriented at the regular flier on Delta, and others are better suitable for the average customer looking for the odd free trip on Delta.
