Delta and Uber team up to offer SkyMiles members mileage rewards

Delta Air Lines has launched a partnership with ride-sharing and delivery service Uber, offering its SkyMiles Members in the United States a new opportunity to earn miles through Uber and Uber Eats. The collaboration allows SkyMiles Members to link their accounts with Uber to receive mileage rewards on eligible spending.

From April 22, SkyMiles Members who joined the Uber waitlist receive early access to link their accounts. This feature will open to all customers from April 24. Once accounts are linked, members will earn varying miles for their Uber activities: 3 miles per eligible dollar on Uber Reserve trips, 2 miles on Uber Comfort and Uber Black rides, and 1 mile on UberX rides to and from airports. Additionally, a mile will be earned for each eligible dollar spent on Uber Eats orders of $40 or more for restaurant and grocery deliveries.

Prashant Sharma, Delta's Vice President of Loyalty, explained, "SkyMiles Membership is about giving Delta’s loyal customers more ways to earn even more miles, fly with more ease, and experience more of what really matters to them." He described the partnership as a means to enhance the value of loyalty for frequent fliers and introduce the program's benefits to new users.
