Earn SkyMiles faster with the new Delta Uber partnership, where members now get rewarded for Uber rides, premium trips, and Uber Eats orders over $40.
Delta Uber Partnership
Delta Air Lines has officially launched its long-awaited partnership with Uber, marking a significant milestone first teased during CES 2025. At the event, Delta CEO Ed Bastian outlined a bold vision for the airline’s centennial year, promising new ways to reward loyal travellers, and Uber was a centrepiece of that plan.
Replacing its previous relationship with Lyft, Delta announced it would soon allow SkyMiles members to earn miles across Uber rides and Uber Eats orders. After a couple of months, the partnership is now live.
Offering SkyMiles members fresh opportunities to boost their mileage balances every day, and not just in the air, with the Delta Uber collaboration bringing together two of the world’s most prominent transportation companies to put more rewards in the hands of travellers.
What’s New Delta Uber Partnership
The Delta Uber partnership is designed to offer serious earning power across everyday activities. Once a SkyMiles member links their Delta and Uber accounts, they can start earning immediately. The rates of earning are:
- 3 miles per $1 spent on Uber Reserve rides — ideal for travellers who like to book ahead for essential journeys.
- 2 miles per $1 spent on premium rides like Uber Comfort, Uber Black, and UberXL.
- 1 mile per $1 spent on standard UberX rides to/from an airport.
- 1 mile per $1 spent on Uber Eats restaurant or grocery orders over $40.
The programme covers both travel and dining, which means you can earn even when you’re heading to the airport or ordering a meal at your hotel.
For those with a Delta SkyMiles American Express Card, the rewards get even sweeter: cardholders can earn an extra 1 mile per dollar on top of the standard rewards when paying for eligible Uber rides and Uber Eats orders.
It’s a simple way to turn everyday activities into faster upgrades, free flights, or premium perks. Whether you’re booking an airport ride or satisfying a late-night craving, your SkyMiles balance keeps growing.
How to Link Your Accounts and Start Earning
Getting started with Delta & Uber rewards is straightforward. Here’s how to set it up:
- Open the Uber or Uber Eats app on your Apple or Android device and navigate to the Partner Rewards section in your account settings.
- Select Delta SkyMiles from the list of partners.
- Log in to your SkyMiles account when prompted.
- Confirm the link, you’re ready to earn miles automatically with every eligible trip and order.
New features are already rolling out to make the experience even smoother. For example, Uber ride reservations can now be booked directly through the Fly Delta app when purchasing a flight.
Plus, Delta and Uber are launching an Uber Shuttle service at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport later this year, creating more ways for travellers to move between air and ground with ease.
With the Delta & Uber partnership now live, travellers have even more reasons to stay loyal and more ways to earn miles.
