How to Apply for the Delta Skymiles Credit Card

It is important if you choose to apply for a Delta Skymiles Credit Card that you decide which you would like first. There are four options: Basic, Gold, Platinum, and Reserve, and the differences between these cards, summarized on our Delta Skymiles Credit Card webpage and detailed here, come down mostly to rewards vs. yearly fees. Regardless of which card you choose the application process will be the same, and to make it all the easier we have laid out each step in full below.

Requirements

Before applying please ensure you meet the basic requirements for these credit cards:

Must be at least 18 years old
Must have a valid US address
Have a valid Social Security number

How to Apply

Step 1- Personal Info

After choosing your card proceed to the application pages for either Gold, Platinum, or Reserve and begin filling out the required forms, the first of which pertains to your personal information. The following pieces of information will need to be on hand for the form:

Date of birth
Social Security number

Skymiles number (if already enrolled)

If you are interesting in adding more cards to your account you can do so by clicking the ‘add cards’ link in the center of the page. Each of these cards is a facsimile of the original intended for a dependent or spouse, the primary account holder being ultimately culpable for all bills and statements.
