1,000 Delta miles get you $11.2, on average. You can use Delta miles for plane tickets to over 300 destinations across 50 countries, seat upgrades, and SkyMiles Marketplace purchases, among other things.
To cash in on your 1,000 Delta miles, you will need to reach the minimum redemption threshold. The minimum number of Delta miles you can redeem at a time is 5,000. You can buy more miles to pass the redemption threshold, though you must buy at least 2,000 at a time, and they cost more than they are worth when redeemed, on average.
The easiest way to get more Delta miles is by making purchases with a co-branded Delta credit card. For example, if you apply and get approved for an offer, you can rack up thousands of Delta SkyMiles from the card's initial bonus, which you can redeem for Delta flights. WalletHub makes it easy to compare the latest Delta credit card offers online.
