What Is a Delta Airlines Flight Credit?
A Delta Airlines flight credit, commonly referred to as an eCredit, is issued when:

You cancel a flight and are eligible for a credit

You voluntarily change or cancel a non-refundable fare

A flight is canceled by Delta and you choose not to fly

These credits can be used toward future travel with Delta. Most are valid for up to one year from the original ticket purchase date, though some exceptions exist due to COVID-era policies.

If you're unsure about your eligibility or expiration date, you can call ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060 to confirm with a Delta agent.

Step 1: Locate Your Delta eCredit
Before you can use your credit, you need to find it. Here's how:

A. Use Your SkyMiles Account
Visit Delta.com

Log in to your SkyMiles account

Click on “My Profile” > “Certificates, eCredits & Vouchers”

Your available eCredits will be listed

B. Use the eCredit Lookup Tool
If you don’t have a SkyMiles account or booked as a guest:

Go to Delta’s eCredit lookup page

Enter your first and last name and ticket number (13-digit number beginning with 006)

Click “Look Up”

If you're unable to find your credit or receive an error, contact Delta support at ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060 for assistance.

Step 2: Check the Terms of Your eCredit
Not all credits are the same. Some important details to verify include:

Expiration date: Most expire within one year

Travel completion deadline: Travel must often be completed before the expiration

Change or cancellation fees: Waived for many U.S. domestic tickets, but not all

Transferability: Credits are usually non-transferable and must be used by the original traveler

If you're unsure about any of the terms, call ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060 and a Delta agent can walk you through the specifics of your eCredit.

Step 3: Redeem the Credit for a New Flight
Once you’ve located your eCredit, you can apply it during the online booking process:

A. Online Booking Process
Visit Delta.com or open the Fly Delta app

Enter your desired destination and travel dates

On the payment page, select “Use eCredit”

Sign in or input your ticket number to retrieve the credit

Apply it toward your purchase

If the flight costs more than your credit, you’ll be prompted to pay the difference. If it costs less, the remaining value stays in your account until expiration.

Step 4: Using Multiple Credits or Partial Balances
Delta allows you to use up to 5 eCredits per transaction when booking a new flight online. Here’s how:

After applying your first credit, look for the “Add Another eCredit” option

Repeat the process for additional credits

Review the total applied amount before confirming payment

If you’d prefer to use more than five credits or have specific routing needs, it’s better to call Delta’s support line at ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060 to complete the booking.

Step 5: Common Issues and How to Fix Them
A. eCredit Not Showing Up?
Make sure you entered the correct ticket number (starting with 006)

Try checking via SkyMiles account if linked to your profile

Call ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060 if you still can’t locate it

B. Can’t Apply to a New Booking?
Check if you’re booking through a partner airline or non-eligible route

Verify that your eCredit hasn’t expired

For third-party bookings, call Delta for manual help

C. Error During Payment?
Clear your browser cache and retry

Use the Fly Delta app

Or bypass tech issues by calling ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060 for direct assistance

Can I Use My eCredit for Someone Else?
Generally, no—Delta eCredits are non-transferable and must be used by the original ticket holder. However, you can:

Book a flight for yourself using your eCredit

Pay the remaining balance for someone else with your card

Exceptions may be made for travel vouchers issued under special circumstances. Call ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060 to find out if your situation qualifies.

How to Extend a Delta eCredit
Standard expiration is 12 months, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, Delta extended expiration on many credits.

If your credit is close to expiring and you still can’t travel, you can:

Call Delta at ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060 and explain your situation

Request a one-time extension (granted on a case-by-case basis)

Delta may issue a new eCredit or voucher depending on the reason for extension.

Can I Use eCredits at the Airport?
Yes, eCredits can be used at the airport, but it’s much easier and faster to apply them online or over the phone. At the airport:

Visit a Delta check-in kiosk or ticket counter

Provide your ticket number or booking details

The agent will apply your credit manually

If time is limited or kiosks are down, calling ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060 from your mobile phone will connect you to a live agent who can help.

Final Tips for Using Delta Flight Credits
Book early to ensure seat availability and best prices

Combine multiple credits for a higher-value booking

Check terms carefully—some credits are only valid for domestic or specific routes

Save your confirmation after booking using a credit

Always keep your original ticket number or cancellation confirmation email on hand. If you ever lose track, call ☎️+1 (888) 418-5060—Delta's agents can help retrieve the information.
