Starting in spring 2025, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/delta-skymiles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Delta SkyMiles<\/a> members will earn miles on qualifying Uber rides.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cDelta is thrilled to come together with Uber to create a connected travel experience from start to finish,\u201d<\/em> said Delta CEO, Ed Bastian.<em> \u201cThis partnership creates more choice for customers to get to their destination in a way that works best for them.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Uber is the largest rideshare platform, offering several billion rides a year, 15% of which begin or end at the airport.

After <strong>April 7, 2025<\/strong>, SkyMiles members will no longer earn miles on Lyft rides.
