Delta SkyMiles members in the United States now have the opportunity to earn points by using Uber or Uber Eats, thanks to an exclusive partnership between the two companies. This collaboration aims to enhance Uber’s presence in airport travel, a profitable sector for the ride-hail giant. In addition to this partnership, Uber has also introduced its affordable Airport Shuttle service in Atlanta following successful launches in New York City.
Uber’s focus on airport services comes at a time of market uncertainty, reduced consumer confidence, and heightened border scrutiny, leading many Americans to cut back on travel expenses. In light of these challenges, savvy customers are seeking ways to maximize their benefits. Eligible Uber customers can link their accounts starting Tuesday to start earning miles through the partnership with Delta SkyMiles.
Members with Delta SkyMiles memberships can accumulate miles through various ways after linking their accounts:
– Uber Eats: 1 mile per dollar spent on orders over $40.
– Airport Rides: 1 mile per dollar spent on UberX rides to and from airports.
– Premium Rides: 2 miles per dollar spent on Uber Comfort or Uber Black.
– Uber Reserve: 3 miles per dollar spent on advance bookings.
While passengers cannot earn miles for reserving airport rides, they will receive SkyMiles based on the trip with the highest reward. Beyond mileage benefits, Uber and Delta are enhancing their integration in other aspects. For instance, customers purchasing flights through the Fly Delta app will have the option to add an Uber Reserve booking for airport transportation. Additionally, SkyMiles Members accessing WiFi during flights will receive a 30% discount offer for booking an Uber upon landing.
Overall, this partnership between Uber and Delta provides added value for customers, allowing them to earn miles and enjoy seamless travel experiences.
