Uber customers can earn one mile per dollar spent on trips to the airport.
In a game-changing move for frequent travelers and foodies alike, Uber and Delta Air Lines have officially launched a powerful new partnership that lets users rack up Delta SkyMiles just by using Uber. Whether you’re catching a flight or ordering your favorite meal, you’re now just a few clicks away from earning valuable miles toward your next trip.
This exciting collaboration builds on the evolving world of customer loyalty, giving Delta SkyMiles members even more ways to earn rewards for everyday activities — not just flights. Here’s everything you need to know about how to maximize your mileage with this new offering.
✈️ Earn Miles with Every Uber Ride and Uber Eats Order
Delta SkyMiles members can now link their accounts directly to Uber, unlocking a new stream of rewards. Once linked, members will start earning SkyMiles automatically based on their Uber activity:
- 1 mile per $1 spent on UberX rides to the airport
- 2 miles per $1 spent on premium options like Uber Comfort and Uber Black
- 3 miles per $1 on Uber Reserve trips
- 1 mile per $1 on Uber Eats orders over $40, including from both restaurants and grocery stores
Whether you’re commuting to a terminal or enjoying a night in with a food delivery, you can now earn rewards effortlessly — every ride and every bite counts.
📱 Integrated Booking for Seamless Travel
In addition to earning miles, Delta is enhancing its app experience by allowing customers to book Uber rides to and from the airport directly within the Delta app. The integration is designed to make travel smoother and more convenient by putting everything — flights and rides — in one place.
Later this year, the partnership will introduce another exclusive perk: SkyMiles members who log into in-flight WiFi will receive a 30% discount offer for an Uber Reserve ride when they land, making airport pickups even more affordable.
🌟 Delta’s Expanding Loyalty Ecosystem
This partnership with Uber is part of Delta’s broader strategy to build a loyalty network beyond the skies. In recent years, Delta has aligned with well-known brands like:
- Starbucks – Earn miles when you buy coffee and link your SkyMiles and Starbucks Rewards accounts.
- Hertz – Get bonus miles and preferred car rental rates.
- Ticketmaster – Score miles while booking live events.
Delta’s previous ride-sharing partner was Lyft, which offered a similar earning structure. However, with Uber’s significantly larger user base, global reach, and ride volume, Delta is shifting gears to reach a wider audience and offer even more robust rewards opportunities.
🚌 Uber Expands with Airport Shuttle Service in Atlanta
Alongside this loyalty partnership, Uber is continuing to roll out new travel-focused services, including a dedicated airport shuttle service in key cities.
Following successful launches at JFK and LaGuardia airports in New York City, Uber is bringing its shuttle service to Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport — a major Delta hub. Here’s what travelers can expect:
- Introductory pricing: $10, increasing to $18.50 after the promo period
- Launching in May 2025
- Routes from Downtown and Midtown Atlanta
- Shuttles running every 30 minutes, 7 days a week, from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM
This marks a big step in Uber’s efforts to streamline airport transportation, providing a more predictable and affordable option for flyers. The company has also confirmed it’s in talks with Boston Logan International Airport to potentially bring the shuttle service there next.
🛫 The Future of Travel Loyalty Is Here
The Uber-Delta partnership is more than a marketing move — it’s a sign of how loyalty programs are evolving to meet the modern traveler’s lifestyle. By merging air travel, ride-sharing, and food delivery into one cohesive rewards ecosystem, both companies are making it easier than ever for customers to earn as they live.
Whether you’re traveling for business, taking a vacation, or just ordering in on a rainy day, you’re now closer to your next flight — just by using Uber.
So if you’re a Delta SkyMiles member, now’s the time to link your account, start riding, and let your daily routine take you closer to your next destination.
