Quick Overview

Delta transfer partners include one major U.S. credit card rewards program and several hotel loyalty programs.
American Express Membership Rewards is the top choice among Delta transfer partners. AMEX points transfer to Delta at a rate of 1,000 points for 1,000 SkyMiles.
While point transfers to Delta are possible, SkyMiles cannot be transferred to other airlines. However, they can be redeemed on delta.com for flights with Delta, SkyTeam alliance airlines, and other global partners.

What points transfer to Delta?

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 list of Delta transfer partners:

American Express Membership Rewards

American Express Membership Rewards points can be transferred to Delta SkyMiles at a 1:1 ratio. Every 1,000 AMEX points you convert to your SkyMiles account will give you 1,000 Delta SkyMiles.

Another big benefit worth mentioning is that Delta flights booked through the American Express Travel portal still receive credit towards status in the Delta 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!

Marriott Bonvoy

Marriott Bonvoy points can be transferred to Delta SkyMiles at a 3:1 ratio. Every 3,000 Marriott Bonvoy points you convert will give you 1,000 Delta SkyMiles.

Do note that the Marriott Bonvoy transfer bonus does not apply to transfer to Delta SkyMiles, so you will not earn bonus miles when transferring 60,000-point blocks to Delta like you would with other Marriott airline partners.

World of Hyatt

World of Hyatt points can be transferred to Delta SkyMiles at a 5:2 ratio. Every 2,500 Hyatt points you convert will give you 1,000 Delta SkyMiles.

You will also receive a bonus 5,000 Delta SkyMiles for every 50,000 Hyatt points you transfer.

Accor ALL

Accor Hotels points can be transferred to Delta SkyMiles at a 2:1 ratio. Every 2,000 Accor Hotel points you convert will give you 1,000 Delta SkyMiles.

Hilton Honors

Hilton Honors points can be transferred to Delta SkyMiles at a 10:1 ratio. Every 10,000 Hilton Honors points you convert will give you 1,000 Delta SkyMiles.

IHG One Rewards

IHG One Rewards points can be transferred to Delta SkyMiles at a 5:1 ratio. Every 5,000 IHG points you convert will give you 1,000 Delta SkyMiles.
