Earning into Delta SkyMiles

Active transfer bonuses and instant transfers first. Card SUBs last (approval + spend takes weeks).

Transfer from American Express Membership Rewards (1:1)

Amex Membership Rewards. Federal excise tax of ~$0.0006/point passes through on transfer (capped at $99/year personal, $200/year business). Watch for periodic 25-30% transfer bonuses to SkyMiles.

🔄 Transfer in

Transfer from Marriott Bonvoy (3:1)

Marriott Bonvoy. 60K Marriott points transfers as 20K SkyMiles - Delta is excluded from the 5K-per-60K transfer bonus. No transfer tax on Marriott side. Slow ratio, generally a last resort.
