Delta transfer partners
Delta has one major U.S. credit card rewards partner: American Express Membership Rewards. Delta is also partnered with a handful of hotel loyalty programs which can net you a few extra SkyMiles.
Here's the full list of Delta transfer partners:
AMEX points to Delta miles
American Express Membership Rewards points can be converted into Delta SkyMiles at a 1:1 ratio. Every 1,000 AMEX points you transfer to your SkyMiles account will give you 1,000 Delta SkyMiles.
American Express Membership Rewards credit cards feature high intro bonuses that can net you a large sum of miles. You can also earn lots of points on everyday spending with their high multipliers on categories such as supermarket, restaurants, and airfare.
Another big plus is that due to Delta and American Express being partnered, you can book your flight through American Express Travel and still receive credit towards status in the SkyMiles program. If you have The Business Platinum Card from American Express, you'll even be able to get 35% of your points back via the rebate benefit. This gives you multiple ways to use your rewards and allows you to target whichever route will save you the most.
