How exactly do credit card sky miles work?


Travel Info
I'm flying to Florida and my mom has like 10,000 sky miles, whenever we log in to see how we can use them they want us to book the flight right then and then pay the difference but we don't want to book the flight yet. Anyone who has used delta sky miles from american express, can you help us with the process? Thanks.

Travel Tips
My mom has an American Express Delta Sky Miles credit card. When she uses her credit card to buy things or gas she gets about 2 or 3 miles for every dollar she spends. We only use our miles for emergencies because we fly standby on Delta. If you want to redeem your miles for a free flight just go to delta.com. I'm not sure what to do from there, but you might have to buy the ticket first. Try and call Delta on the phone too.
Will you please mark my answer as best answer?

The Delta SkyMiles Gold Credit Card by American Express is essentially a travel rewards card. Cardholders who accumulate a specific number of points will be awarded with free domestic tickets to fly on Delta Airlines. However, a minimum of 25 000 points is required for a ticket redemption.
Customers who sign up for the Delta SkyMiles credit card will get an instant bonus of mile points credited to their account. However, the points acquired are dependent on the type of card. Customers get 5000 bonus miles for a standard card, 10000 for a Gold card and 15000 miles for Platinum card holders.

What鈥檚 more, the annual fee for each level stands at $55 for Standard, $85 for Gold and $125 for Platinum, with the fee for the first year waived. Plus, if the applicant is already an American Express member, $55 will be deducted from these fees.

Also, airline miles do not expire as long as the account is kept active for three years. Nevertheless, as this card is neither a Visa nor a MasterCard, its usage around the world may be rather limited, although it is widely accepted in the US. Additionally, if you do not use your card frequently, you may also end up paying more on annual fees than if you were to purchase a Delta Airlines ticket with cash.
