Delta and Uber team up to reward business travellers with SkyMiles
Delta Air Lines has announced an exciting new partnership with Uber, enabling SkyMiles members to earn miles on eligible rides and deliveries starting in spring 2025. Revealed at CES 2025, this collaboration represents a significant step towards Delta’s vision of seamless, multi-modal travel, connecting travellers’ entire journey from home to destination.
For Global Travel Management’s business travel clients, this partnership offers a convenient and rewarding way to optimise travel expenses. With more than 15% of all Uber bookings either starting or ending at an airport, the integration between Delta and Uber is poised to make business travel smoother and more rewarding for UK-based business travellers.
SkyMiles members who link their accounts will earn one mile per dollar spent on UberX rides to and from airports, two miles per dollar on premium rides, and three miles per dollar on Uber Reserve rides. Additionally, members can earn one mile per dollar spent on eligible restaurant and grocery deliveries via Uber Eats. This partnership not only enhances the value of frequent travel but also supports business travellers by providing a more integrated and efficient experience.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian said:
Delta is bringing together innovative technologies and partnerships to create a connected travel experience from start to finish. This collaboration with Uber gives customers more choice and convenience, aligning perfectly with our commitment to transforming the future of travel.
The benefits extend beyond miles. By linking Delta and Uber accounts, business travellers can enjoy enhanced connectivity across their journey, from ground transportation to Delta’s in-flight experience. This partnership underscores Delta’s commitment to creating a frictionless travel experience and reflects its strategy of integrating with trusted, everyday brands.
Paul Baker, Sales Director of Global Travel Management, commented:
This new partnership between Delta and Uber is a game-changer for UK-based business travellers. Not only does it reward essential travel, but it also simplifies the journey from door to destination, providing convenience and value for our clients.
With the ability to link accounts and start earning miles, business travellers can look forward to a more rewarding and connected journey. This collaboration highlights Delta’s commitment to innovation and to creating a seamless experience for its customers.
