How to Check Your Delta Air Lines Gift Card Balance

Check your Delta gift card balance before booking a flight, online or by phone.

Check Delta Air Lines balance on official site

Delta gift cards go toward flights booked on delta.com or through Delta reservations — they cover airfare, not baggage fees or in-flight purchases. Check the balance before planning a trip.

Check your Delta gift card balance online

  1. Open Delta's official gift card balance page using the button above.
  2. Enter the card number.
  3. Add the PIN or security code from the card.
  4. Submit to see the remaining balance.

What you'll need

  • Card number — on your physical Delta gift card or in the eGift email.
  • PIN — the code required alongside the number.

Other ways to check

  • Call Delta reservations and provide the card number to hear your balance.
  • At booking on delta.com, the card's value applies toward the fare at checkout.
  • Your original gift email lists the amount that was loaded.

If the balance won't load

  • Re-enter the number and PIN; a wrong digit is the usual issue.
  • A recently purchased card may need time before it's active.
  • Still stuck? Delta customer service can confirm the balance.

Delta card showing $0?

Airline cards are typically applied to a fare and can't be split the way store cards are, so a $0 reading often means the value was already used toward a booking — check your trip history. A card never activated can also read empty; Delta support can trace it with your receipt.

Got a Delta gift card you won't use?

Airfare credit is best kept for your own next trip, or gifted to a friend or family member who's traveling — it applies directly to their fare. There's no expiration pressure to spend it immediately. (For reference, FlipGift's escrow marketplace only buys shippable retail-store cards, so an airline card isn't one we can take — but if you hold a card from one of the ~198 retailers we cover, you can sell that here.)

Delta Air Lines gift card balance — FAQ

Can I combine multiple Delta Air Lines gift cards?

Delta Air Lines usually lets you apply more than one gift card to a single order at checkout. The exact limit depends on the platform (online vs. in store) — if a card isn’t accepted at the register, try splitting payment online instead.

What should I do if my Delta Air Lines gift card is lost or stolen?

If you registered the card or have the original receipt, contact Delta Air Lines customer service as soon as possible. Without a receipt or registration, gift cards generally cannot be replaced — treat them like cash and record the number and PIN somewhere safe right after purchase.

Can I get cash back for a Delta Air Lines gift card?

Most U.S. states don’t require Delta Air Lines to redeem gift cards for cash unless the remaining balance falls below a small threshold (often $5–$10). The simplest way to get full value is to spend it yourself or pass it to someone who shops there.

Can I reload my Delta Air Lines gift card?

Some Delta Air Lines gift cards can be reloaded online or in store, others can’t — it depends on the program. Check the card’s terms or the Delta Air Lines site to confirm whether your card supports reload.

Can I use my Delta Air Lines gift card balance toward any booking?

Delta Air Lines gift cards and credits generally apply to most bookings, though some fees, taxes, or partner charges may not be covered. Confirm at checkout when you redeem.

Do Delta Air Lines gift cards expire?

In most U.S. states, gift cards are protected from expiring for at least five years, and many Delta Air Lines cards don’t expire at all. Check the terms printed on your card or its packaging to be sure.

What can I do with a Delta Air Lines gift card I don’t want?

Use it toward a purchase you'd make anyway, regift it to someone who shops there, or check whether the brand's own app lets you combine balances — a gift card is easiest to get value from by simply spending it.

Don’t need your Delta Air Lines card?

Turn it into cash by booking a buyer’s Delta Air Lines trip with it, in their name — the code stays with you, and the buyer’s money is held in escrow.
