Buying Delta miles is not worth the cost. However, if you need to buy Delta miles, using a Delta credit card is the best approach, as you'll earn extra Delta miles on top of the ones you purchase with your card. You'll get the most value from your miles if you redeem them for award flights, but you can also use your miles for hotel stays, car rentals, and more.
