A Delta eCredit is the value you get back after cancelling an eligible ticket, and you apply it toward a new Delta flight - but it has an expiration date, so use it before it lapses. Here is how to find and apply yours.
Where to find your Delta eCredit
- Log in to your SkyMiles account and open My Wallet - eCredits tied to your profile appear there automatically.
- If it is not in your account, look for the ticket or eCredit number in the cancellation email Delta sent you.
- Note the amount and the expiration date on each eCredit.
How to apply a Delta eCredit (step by step)
- Search for your new Delta flight as usual on delta.com or the Fly Delta app.
- At payment, choose to pay with an eCredit (from My Wallet, or by entering the ticket/eCredit number and passenger name).
- Apply the credit to the fare; pay any remaining balance with another method.
- If the new fare is lower, the leftover value usually stays as an eCredit, subject to its rules.

Delta eCredit rules that trip people up
eCredits are generally tied to the name of the original traveler and are not transferable. Most must be booked before the expiration date, though the travel itself can be later - but the exact terms depend on how the credit was issued. Basic Economy cancellations may be handled differently. When in doubt, check the details on your specific eCredit or let us confirm it for you.
Tips to avoid losing your eCredit
- Check the expiration date as soon as the eCredit is issued.
- Keep the cancellation email in case the credit is not in My Wallet.
- Book before the expiry even if you travel later.
- Short on time? Call us and we will apply your eCredit and book your trip.
