Uber is now the official rideshare partner of Delta Air Lines. In early 2025, Delta announced it was cutting ties with Lyft and partnering with Uber as its official rideshare partner. The new partnership officially took effect on April 21, 2025, and Delta SkyMiles members can now earn SkyMiles on Uber rides and Uber Eats orders.
Here are the details of how to link your accounts and earn rewards on Uber rides.
How You'll Earn Delta SkyMiles on Uber Rides & Uber Eats Orders
Delta SkyMiles members can earn up to 3X SkyMiles on eligible Uber rides with a new partnership between the two companies. But the exact rate depends on what kind of Uber services you use:
- 3X SkyMiles on Uber Reserve trips
- 2X SkyMiles on Uber XL, Comfort, Black, and Black SUV rides
- 1X SkyMiles on UberX rides to and from airports
- 1X SkyMiles on $40+ Uber Eats restaurant and grocery orders
SkyMiles are earned on the total trip fare, excluding discounts, taxes, fees, mandatory charges, and tips. UberX airport rides at locations not serviced by Uber are not eligible. Only U.S.-based SkyMiles members in good standing can earn rewards. Rides booked through family profiles, teen accounts, or the “guest rides” feature do not earn SkyMiles.
Keep in mind that these earnings are on top of the credit card rewards you'll earn on the Uber charge. Just make sure to use one of the best credit cards for travel purchases to pay for your ride.

How to Link your Delta and Uber Accounts
Before you'll earn SkyMiles on Uber rides and Uber Eats orders, you’ll need to select Delta as your primary loyalty partner in the Uber app. You don’t need to take any action in your Delta SkyMiles account to start earning rewards.
After linking, you’ll earn rewards on individual Uber rides and on Uber Eats restaurant and grocery orders. Note that you must spend at least $40 on Uber Eats orders to earn SkyMiles.
