There are two options to transfer points to Delta Air Lines SkyMiles.
You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards at a rate of 1 to 1, which usually arrives instantly in your Delta SkyMiles account.
You can also transfer Marriott Bonvoy points at a ratio of 3 Marriott points to 1 Delta SkyMiles, and it takes about 2 days for the points to arrive.
You cannot transfer points to Delta SkyMiles from:
- Chase Ultimate Rewards;
- Capital One Miles;
- Citi ThankYou Points;
- Bilt Rewards; or
- Brex Rewards.

I recommend transferring in increments of 60,000 Marriott points because there is a 5,000 airline mile bonus when you transfer 60,000 Marriott points.
This 5,000 miles bonus does not apply to American Airlines AAdvantage, Avianca LifeMiles, Delta SkyMiles and Korean Air SKYPASS.
