Looking for a gift to send your travel-loving Valentine? Well, Delta wants you to consider giving a Delta gift card — and is offering bonus miles to incentivize you. Now through February 17, 2025, you can earn 2x SkyMiles on eligible purchases of Delta gift cards.

Unlike Delta's annual Black Friday bonus miles offer, your bonus earning rate doesn't depend on your Delta Medallion elite status. However, you'll still need to be really generous to trigger bonus mileage earnings.

Here are the important terms and how to take advantage of this promotion.

Double SkyMiles Promotion on Delta Gift Cards

Now through February 17, SkyMiles members will earn 2x SkyMiles on Delta gift card purchases of $200 or more. The gift cards do not expire, and no enrollment is required.

How Much is This Delta Gift Card Promotion Worth?

AwardWallet users have redeemed SkyMiles for an average of 1.34¢ per mile. However, this value ranges from 1.21¢ for U.S. domestic flights in economy up to 2.4¢ in long-haul, international business class. Even for those who fly Delta a lot, buying a $200 gift card to get 400 extra SkyMiles isn't going to be game-changing. You're just getting something around $5 worth of points, on average.

Where this deal becomes great is that Delta processes its gift card sales directly. That means the purchase of gift cards should code as an airfare purchase. So, you could earn 2X SkyMiles plus up to 5X miles or points on the purchases — depending on which credit card you use. See our list of the best credit cards for travel purchases for ideas. Thus, on a $200 purchase, you could end up with $5 worth of Delta SkyMiles and $20 worth of bank points — plus your Delta gift card, of course.

Our Take

Earning 2x SkyMiles on Delta gift card purchases isn't earth-shattering. However, it's a nice little bonus if you're considering getting someone a really nice gift. Keep in mind that you can't use Delta gift cards to pay the taxes/fees on award bookings, so this gift card is only valid on purchasing a cash ticket.

What do you think about this offer? Will you be buying any gift cards to earn 2X SkyMiles?
