How To Add Companion Ticket To Delta App?

How to Redeem a Companion Ticket in the Delta App

Perhaps the most valuable feature of the Delta Airlines SkyMiles American Express credit cards is the annual companion ticket that comes with the card every year. This enables a person to take an additional person along on a Delta flight for the price of fares and surcharges only. Companion tickets cost $99 for the domestic mainland flights and $149 for the Hawaiian ones. Applying them is quite simple, though, if you include the certificate in the Delta app. Here is a video tutorial on how you can add your companion fare to your Delta app to make the process even easier and faster.

Check Your Eligibility

To add a Delta companion certificate to the app, ensure you have a suitable one to apply for. With Delta SkyMiles Gold, Platinum & Reserve American Express cards, on your card membership anniversary, you will get a companion certificate where you can get a round-trip Main Cabin ticket free of charge for any purchase made using your linked card. Note that there may be some conditions and limitations to these companion tickets depending on your existing offers and benefits associated with the card.

The certificate is only valid for one year from the time it was issued and becomes null and void if it is not utilized. You need to purchase roundtrip Delta flights in Main Cabin, so the upgrades are not applicable. For example, most Basic Economy fares are not permitted. To enter the companion code at check-out, the initial ticket must be paid by the linked AmEx card. Both passengers must take a flight on the same route.

Receive Your Certificate

If you have an eligible Delta AmEx card, on or before your cardmember anniversary date, Delta will send your new companion certificate or voucher code through email. You can also obtain active companion certificates from your online AmEx account in the Rewards & Benefits tab. Log in to view Available offers, which should include your newest one if recently released. On mobile, go to the American Express app, Benefits, then Travel Benefits.

If you do not find a newly added certificate, consider calling American Express to get to the bottom of why it was not included on the anniversary. If your account is active and you have fulfilled all the card requirements, then you will be entitled to an annual companion voucher.

Integrate Certificate Voucher Code to Delta App

After receipt, the easiest way to get to your companion ticket is to store it in the Delta app wallet. If you do not have Delta’s app, then visit your relevant app store on the device and install the app, then log in to the account with the SkyMiles account you have.

To upload a certificate code:

1. To begin with, log in to the Delta app and navigate to the Delta profile icon at the lower right end of your screen.
2. Choose Travel Wallet and payment and then Manage Travel certificates
3. Select Add beside Companion certificates
4. Please type in your 12-digit voucher code and the expiration date.
5. Agree to the terms and click on Add Certificate

You should then see your new companion voucher in your Travel wallet. If you have more than one certificate, you can store all of them in the storage section below the certificate section.

You need to book a Companion Ticket Flight.

Before you are ready to book the travel and use your companion fare, ensure that you use your Delta app to begin the booking process. By using the app, you don’t need to type in the companion codes, as they are easily applied from the wallet. Follow these steps:

1. At the bottom of the app screen, there will be a button called ‘Book’. Click on it.
2. Please type in your place of departure and your desired place of arrival, as well as your desired dates.
3. Choose your flight and decide what seats you want to have: first or main cabin.
4. Choose to Continue and input the details of two travelers
5. After going through the flight summary, click on the Continue tab.
6. Input the contact details and decide which payment method to use, be it the AmEx that connects to the account.
7. Turning on the switch to apply for a Travel certificate
8. Right-click on the loaded companion voucher to apply the discount
9. Agree to terms and pay for tickets

Both companion itineraries should then be filled with the discounts applied. There would be taxes and fees that require payment on the added friend or family member’s ticket. As long as some conditions are fulfilled, one can travel with the partner at a reduced fare compared to the normal fare.

Modify or Cancel Companion Routing

If you require to modify your companion ticket booking, you can do it conveniently through the Delta app or the website. It is only possible if you travel together on the same flight; in such a case, you have the flexibility to change dates and times in the same way as with ordinary tickets. Canceling does follow certain restrictions though for certain fare classes purchased with a companion voucher.

If you need to cancel, there are a few potential outcomes:

1. Refundable itineraries permit refunding a companion plus linked tickets
2. Flexible schedules could have a value stored for future Delta travel credit
3. Basic Economy does not allow any type of cancellation except for the Upgrade with Miles option.

This is usually caused by changes; it is therefore advisable to book Main Cabin or First Class flex fares. Another option you have is Upgrade with Miles, which also permits free cancellation. The easiest option is to do it through the Delta app while editing your companion booking.

Check Certificate Expiration Dates

The last tip to consider when using the Delta companion fare voucher is to be mindful of the expiration period. Certificates are forfeited once a one-year time frame from the issue date elapses, but this allows roundtrip travel only. The ability to add vouchers and have the Delta app display the amount of time left on each is helpful in monitoring.

In the Travel Wallet section, there will be expiration countdowns on the companion certs. You should also set reminders in the calendar so that you do not forget to renew them. If your certificate has expired or is expiring soon, or if you have had trouble trying to book, call Delta right away and then American Express.

Maximize the Value

This is probably the most effective way of cutting costs if you are two people traveling since one Delta companion pass is enough. As a free addition when you sign up for a credit card, getting the most out of this feature can mean serious money saved, especially when booking an expensive flight, for example, to cross the Atlantic. Make sure to manually add your annual vouchers to your Delta account and set payment defaults and calendar reminders so that you do not miss out.

Compare tickets with other airlines look for the lowest base fare and then add the companion code for the booking. It has never been cheaper to fly together with Delta. By following the above steps, you can be able to upload your certificates easily into your Delta app wallet and access them anytime.
