Delta Air Lines will begin a partnership with Uber this spring that will enable SkyMiles members to earn rewards on rides. The deal will end the carrier’s relationship with Lyft. Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta; and Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO for Uber, made the announcement at the CES 2025 trade show in Las Vegas.  Lyft rides will continue to earn points until April 7. 

When the partnership begins, SkyMiles members will be able to earn through Uber purchases as follows:

• One mile per dollar spent on UberX rides to and from airports;

• Two miles per dollar on premium rides like Uber Comfort and Uber Black;

• Three miles per dollar on Uber Reserve trips;

• One mile per dollar on eligible Uber Eats restaurant and grocery orders. 

Also at the trade show, Delta introduced its AI-powered Delta Concierge, a digital tool built into the Fly Delta app, set to launch later this year. The concierge uses generative AI to provide personalized assistance, from pre-trip planning to real-time help navigating around airports.

Other features include proactive passport and visa notifications, packing advice based on destination weather and real-time updates for gate changes or TSA PreCheck options.
