[Expired] Delta Award Flash Sale: Use Fewer Miles to Mexico and the Caribbean

For 3 days only, you can redeem fewer Delta SkyMiles than normal to beach destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean. If you want to get in on the fun, you’ll need to book by September 12, 2024.

That’s not a lot of time, so here’s what you need to know to start booking.

Delta Award Flash Sale — Details

The latest award sale from Delta SkyMiles lets you use fewer miles than normal to book an award flight. Since Delta eliminated award charts a few years ago, it can be tough to know exactly how many miles you’ll need for a flight — or exactly how much of a discount you’re getting during this sale.

That said, there are some solid deals here, with destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean available. Eligible travel dates vary by destination, but these are clearly indicated when you sort through the eligible destinations on the promotion page.

You’ll find trips to the Bahamas, Barbados, Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, and Mexico, among others, if you’re departing from New York City. Luckily, the prices and eligible travel dates are shown clearly in the chart.

You can filter by origin or destination airport, and the price you’ll see is for round-trip travel, per person.

This sale is part of the Delta SkyMiles Flash Sale series, and these can provide excellent discounts when redeeming your miles for flights.

However, it gets even better, because you can find even cheaper deals if you have a Delta SkyMiles credit card from American Express.

How does 14,400 miles sound for round-trip flights between New York City (JFK) and Nassau, Bahamas (NAS)? You can stack the discount from this flash sale with the discount from holding a Delta credit card for even further discounts on how many miles you need.

There are some terms to this sale you’ll want to know:

• Baggage fees may still apply on top of any miles and cash you pay at the time of booking.
• The cheapest prices are for basic economy seats, which are nonrefundable.

If you need more SkyMiles in your account, you can transfer American Express Membership Rewards points at a 1:1 ratio, and transfers are typically instant.

Final Thoughts

Until September 12, you can redeem fewer Delta SkyMiles than normal if you’re heading to Mexico or the Caribbean. You can stack those deals with your Delta Amex cardholder benefit for an extra 15% discount on how many miles you need, creating some excellent deals.
