We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    On the heels of the Delta SkyMiles deals we talked about earlier today, we have an opportunity to save on paid Delta flights. You’ll need to be a Costco member to take advantage of this sale, but if you are you can save 10% on Delta gift card purchases. This discount is available on gift cards of $500 or $1,000.

    There isn’t an official end date listed, so it’s possible this offer could be pulled at anytime.

    If you’re going to be paying cash for flights you may as well save 10% on the purchase. Before you jump on this deal you’ll want to be aware of what you can and can’t use the gift cards for. These gift cards can’t be used to pay for baggage fees, inflight purchases, seat upgrades or “ancillary purchases.” According to the terms you can only use them for “air transport on Delta-airlines marketed flights.” You can also use these gift cards to pay for a Delta Vacations package if it includes air transport. If you hold a co-branded Delta credit card, those will give you access to perks like free checked bags and priority boarding.

    It isn’t clear whether or not the gift cards can be used to pay for the taxes and fees on award flights and I personally haven’t ever tried. If you have please let me know and I’ll update the article, but to be safe I would assume that it won’t apply to award fees (especially on partner airlines). Also if you’re paying online, you can only use three Delta gift cards per transaction. If you need to use more you’ll have to call 800-225-1366 to book.

    This is a decent opportunity to save on future paid flights while earning rewards with your travel credit card. Another added plus when paying for flights with a gift card is that they’ll still count as a revenue flight, so you’ll earn redeemable and elite miles for your trip.
