Share the Adventure: How Delta SkyMiles® American Express Cards Make Traveling Together More Rewarding

Your Next Adventure Starts at Home

The day-to-day moments you spend with friends and family can get you to your next adventure faster when you use your Delta SkyMiles Gold, Platinum or Reserve American Express Card for eligible purchases. Depending on the card you carry, you can earn anywhere from 1 to 3 miles per $1 spent with the card in categories including restaurants, U.S. supermarkets and purchases made directly with hotels and Delta. (Terms apply.) That means everything from the weekly grocery run and family dinners at home to date nights out or brunch with friends can all earn miles toward future travels.

For a limited time, new cardholders have the chance to earn even more rewards, bringing your next trip together even closer. Now through November 4, 2026:

• New cardholders can apply and find out their welcome offer, which could be as high as 80,000 bonus miles, plus earn a $250 statement credit after making $3,000 in purchases on the Delta SkyMiles^® Gold American Express Card in the first six months after opening the card. (Terms apply.)
• New cardholders can apply and find out their welcome offer, which could be as high as 90,000 bonus miles, plus earn a $300 statement credit after making $4,000 in purchases on the Delta SkyMiles^® Platinum American Express Card in the first six months after opening the card. (Terms apply.)

A 21+ day advance purchase is required. Taxes and fees up to $80 per person apply. Terms and other restrictions apply.

Turn Miles Into Travel Together

Traveling together means sharing unforgettable experiences—and often, the expenses that come with them. No matter what type of trip you're planning, getting more value from your travel spending can make your next adventure together more attainable. From using miles for airfare to receiving statement credits, Delta SkyMiles Gold, Platinum and Reserve American Express Cards can offer several ways to maximize value as you turn your travel plans into reality.

For example, you can redeem the miles you've earned through day-to-day spending for all or part of the cost of fares booked through delta.com when you use Pay With Miles. For even more savings, use your miles to book Award Travel on Delta flights through delta.com and the Fly Delta app and save 15%. (Discount not applicable to partner-operated flights or to taxes and fees.) (Terms apply.)

Whether you're booking a vacation rental home for the family reunion or a luxury hotel suite to celebrate your anniversary, statement credits on your card can help to offset the cost of choosing the perfect setting. Receive annual statement credits of up to $100 for the Delta SkyMiles Gold Card, up to $150 for the Delta SkyMiles Platinum Card and up to $200 for the Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card when you book eligible prepaid hotels or vacation rentals through Delta Stays on delta.com. (Terms apply.)

Some card benefits can even get you thinking about where you want to go next. Get a jump start on future adventures with a $200 Delta Flight Credit for spending $10,000 on purchases on the Delta SkyMiles Gold Card in a calendar year. (Terms apply.) After your Delta SkyMiles Platinum or Reserve Card renews each year, a round-trip Companion Certificate is available for eligible flights, so you can easily add a friend or family member to your plans. The Companion Certificate requires payment of government-imposed taxes and fees of between $22 and $250 (for itineraries with up to four flight segments). Baggage charges and other restrictions apply. Delta Basic experiences are not eligible for this benefit. (Terms apply.)

Make the Airport Experience Easier for Everyone

Traveling with friends or family often requires some extra planning and logistics compared to flying solo. Getting to the airport and your departure gate on time can feel stressful, and adding more people to your party can ramp up the anxiety levels. This is where card benefits that help with bags, transportation and airport security come in handy.

Packing for your whole family? Instead of competing for precious space in your carry-ons, check your bags and fly with confidence that everyone in your party has everything they need. Your Delta SkyMiles Gold, Platinum or Reserve Card lets you check your first bag free on Delta flights worldwide for you and up to eight travel companions in your reservation. In addition, Basic Card holders can now check a second bag for free on domestic Delta flights. (Terms apply.)

Does battling traffic en route to the airport bring out the backseat driver in your group? Enlist a rideshare driver to handle the highway so everyone can sit back and relax. Plus, when you pay for U.S. rideshare services with select providers with your Delta SkyMiles Platinum or Reserve Card, you can earn up to $10 per month (up to $120 annually) in statement credits. Delta SkyMiles Gold Card holders can earn these credits once their card renews after the first year of membership. (Enrollment required.) (Terms apply.)

Everyone's energized and excited as you enter the airport—but the long security lines put a damper on the mood. Streamline the process and keep spirits high by applying for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck^® status and using your Delta SkyMiles Platinum or Reserve Card to help cover the costs. Delta SkyMiles Platinum or Reserve Card holders can receive statement credits for $120 every four years after applying for Global Entry (which includes TSA PreCheck access) or up to $85 after applying for a five-year TSA PreCheck membership through a TSA official enrollment provider and paying with your card. (Terms apply.)

Make Getting There Part of the Fun

Spending quality time with friends and family is what shared travel is all about. When you're with people you love, even the littlest moments can make lasting memories. As you prepare to board your flight, your Delta SkyMiles American Express Card unlocks benefits that help you relax and enjoy this time with your travel companions.

For example, you and your party can savor a restful setting and refreshing food and drink while you chat in The Centurion Lounge. Your Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card gives you access to The Centurion Lounge on Delta flights booked with the card. (Terms apply.)

Your Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card also entitles you to 15 visits to the Delta Sky Club^® plus four one-time guest passes each Medallion Year when flying Delta together. You and your party can enjoy snacks and beverages, personalized flight assistance, Wi-Fi access and other amenities. Spend $75,000 in purchases on your Card in a calendar year and unlock unlimited Delta Sky Club access. (Terms apply.)

As the crowd at the departure gate jostles impatiently, you and your "crowd" can stroll on board feeling relaxed. Your Delta SkyMiles Gold, Platinum or Reserve Card includes Zone 5 Priority Boarding, so you have plenty of time to stow your bags and ensure everyone in your party is comfortably settled in their seats. You might even be added to the complimentary upgrade list if you have a Delta SkyMiles Platinum or Reserve Card. Complimentary upgrades for these cardholders are available after Delta SkyMiles Medallion Members and with an eligible ticket. (Terms apply.)

Once you're in the air, keep the celebratory mood going by treating yourself and your party to in-flight drinks or snacks. Use your Delta SkyMiles Card for eligible Delta in-flight purchases of food and beverages and receive 20% back as a statement credit. (Terms apply.)

Make Every Moment Together More Memorable

Once you reach your destination, you'll want to make the most of your time together. Whether you and your travel companions are driving through the countryside, exploring a new city or discovering a new restaurant, the benefits that eligible Delta SkyMiles Cards offer can help you get more from each moment.

Your gang is buzzing about a hot restaurant they want to try, but you're wondering if getting a reservation will be challenging. After all, it's a popular eatery, and you have a large party to seat. Global Dining Access by Resy, a benefit of your Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card, can smooth the way to a dining experience you'll savor. You'll enjoy access to exclusive reservations at sought-after participating U.S. Resy restaurants and receive priority notification when tables meeting your specifications become available.

Not every travel memory is one you planned. When unexpected problems arise on your trip, you can turn to your Delta SkyMiles Card for help.
