Here\u2019s How to Claim a Premium Complimentary Snack Onboard"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of co-branded airline credit cards offer benefits that can make your onboard experience just a bit better. With some cards, that\u2019s priority boarding, and with others it\u2019s a discount on onboard purchases. One neat perk of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/delta-skymiles\/delta-credit-card\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Delta SkyMiles American Express cards<\/a>, at least through the middle of this year, is a complimentary premium onboard snack.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what to know about this benefit and how to get it.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Delta_Card_Members_Get_a_Premium_Complimentary_Snack\">Delta Card Members: Get a Premium Complimentary Snack<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Through <strong>June 30, 2026<\/strong>, Delta SkyMiles American Express cardholders can get a free premium snack on any flight over 900 miles within the United States or between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p>The premium options include Dot's Pretzels, Nerds Gummy Clusters, or Pringles, and can be claimed through the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/delta-skymiles\/delta-free-wifi\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Delta Sync<\/a> platform. These are snacks you\u2019d otherwise have to pay for, so simply having the card gets you one per Card Member (not per person on your reservation) on each eligible flight.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to have your Delta credit card with you during the flight to use this benefit. Just make sure your SkyMiles Amex is linked to your account. Then, log in to Delta Sync on your seatback screen or mobile device to redeem your snack of choice, or simply show your card to the flight attendant during cabin service.<\/p>\n<figure
