Amex Offer for Delta SkyMiles Transfer Fees
There’s a new targeted Amex Offer that can reimburse up to $330 in fees when you use Delta’s Transfer Miles feature to move SkyMiles from your account to another established SkyMiles account. The offer is showing up on Delta SkyMiles cards only.
This is not for transferring Membership Rewards points to Delta. It applies specifically to the fees Delta charges when you transfer existing SkyMiles to another person’s SkyMiles account. Let’s see the details.
Offer Details
- Earn up to $330 back on eligible Delta SkyMiles transfer fees.
- Offer expires November 14, 2026.
- Transfers must be completed online through Delta’s Transfer Miles page.
- Statement credits are capped at $330 total per eligible Card Member account.
Offer details and availability may vary by cardholder. Just login to your American Express account(s) to see if you are eligible to add this offer to your card(s).
Delta currently charges:
- $30 processing fee per transfer transaction
- $0.01 per mile transferred
So, for example, transferring 10,000 SkyMiles would normally cost $130 in fees: $30 plus $100 for the miles themselves. With this Amex Offer, you can transfer up to 30,000 SkyMiles for free.
Important Terms
- Offer only valid on the payment of per transaction Processing Fees and Rate per mile fee(s) per eligible Transfer transaction up to $330 total when you transfer Delta miles to another Delta SkyMiles account using the Delta Miles Transfer program online only at US website delta.com/marketplace/transfer-miles.
- Offer is not valid on buying, gifting or donating Miles, and any other fees associated with those programs.
- Excludes all other purchases made through Delta.
- Transfer Miles may only be transferred and received by SkyMiles accounts that have been established for at least 10 days and have earned at least one automatically posted mile since enrolling in the SkyMiles program.
Purchases must be made in USD, and offer is only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant. Offer not valid on purchases made using third parties, such as resellers, delivery services, or other intermediaries.
Guru’s Wrap-up
This is a pretty niche offer, but it can save a meaningful amount if you were already planning to move SkyMiles between accounts.
Delta’s transfer fees are usually expensive enough that transferring miles rarely makes sense on its own. But getting up to $330 back changes the math considerably, especially for someone who needs to consolidate miles into another account for a specific redemption.
Just remember that this does not cover Membership Rewards transfers to Delta. It only applies when transferring existing SkyMiles from one Delta account to another.
This would all be much easier and user friendly if Delta didn’t charge for transfers at all.
