Delta Air Lines has announced a new partnership with Uber, allowing SkyMiles members to earn miles on Uber rides and food deliveries. Starting this spring, members can earn one mile per dollar on UberX airport rides, two miles per dollar on premium rides like Uber Comfort and Uber Black, and three miles per dollar on Uber Reserve trips. For Uber Eats orders over $40, members will earn one mile per dollar. This partnership ends Delta’s eight-year collaboration with Lyft, where customers can still earn miles until April 7. Delta’s credit card partner, American Express, also offers Uber credits with some cards. Delta expects to generate about $7 billion from its AmEx partnership in 2024. Lyft reported 24.4 million active riders and 216 million rides in the third quarter, while Uber had 161 million monthly active users and 2.8 billion rides. The announcement was made at the CES tech show in Las Vegas, where Delta also revealed plans for an AI-powered assistant and in-flight entertainment upgrades.
