Welcome, fellow traveler and points enthusiast! Are you trying to track down that elusive American Express SkyMiles number? It's a common query, especially when you're looking to book a flight, check your mileage balance, or simply consolidate your travel rewards. Don't worry, you're in the right place! This comprehensive guide will walk you through every possible method to find your American Express SkyMiles number, ensuring you're ready to make the most of your Delta SkyMiles. Let's get started! ✈️
Step 1: Understand the Relationship Between Amex and SkyMiles
Before we dive into the "how-to," it's crucial to understand a key concept: Your American Express card earns SkyMiles, but your SkyMiles account is actually managed by Delta Air Lines. Think of it like this:
-
American Express is the vehicle that helps you accumulate miles through your spending.
-
Delta SkyMiles is the destination where those miles are stored and redeemed.
This means your SkyMiles number is primarily associated with Delta, not directly with American Express. While your Amex card links to your SkyMiles account, the number itself belongs to Delta.

Step 2: Check Your Physical American Express Delta SkyMiles Card
This is often the easiest and most direct way to locate your SkyMiles number.
Sub-heading: Look on the Front or Back
-
Your American Express Delta SkyMiles credit card (e.g., Delta SkyMiles Gold, Platinum, or Reserve American Express Card) will typically have your Delta SkyMiles number printed directly on it.
-
Carefully examine both the front and the back of your card. It's usually a 9 or 10-digit number.
Why it's there: When you apply for an American Express Delta SkyMiles card, if you don't already have a SkyMiles account, American Express will often automatically create one for you and link it to your new card. This is why the number is printed on the card itself.
Step 3: Access Your Delta SkyMiles Account Online
If you've previously registered your SkyMiles account online with Delta, this is a quick and reliable method.
Sub-heading: Logging into Delta.com
-
Go to the official Delta Air Lines website:
www.delta.com -
Look for the "Log In" or "SkyMiles" section, usually found in the top right corner of the page.
-
Enter your SkyMiles number or username and password to log in.
-
Forgot your SkyMiles Number? Don't worry! On the login page, there's usually a "Forgot SkyMiles Number" link. Click this, and you'll typically be asked to provide your first name, last name, and email address associated with your account. Delta will then email your SkyMiles number to you.
-
Pro-Tip: Make sure to check the email address you used when you initially signed up for SkyMiles or applied for your Amex Delta card.
-
-
Forgot your Password? Similarly, there's a "Forgot Password" link. Follow the prompts to reset your password and gain access to your account.
-
Sub-heading: Navigating Your Account Dashboard
Once logged in, your SkyMiles number is usually prominently displayed on your account dashboard or profile page. Look for sections like "My SkyMiles," "Profile," or "Account Summary."
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Step 4: Check Your American Express Online Account
While American Express doesn't host your SkyMiles account, your Amex online portal can sometimes provide clues or direct links.
Sub-heading: Reviewing Your Amex Account Details
-
Log in to your American Express online account at
www.americanexpress.com -
Navigate to the section related to your Delta SkyMiles credit card. This might be under "My Accounts," "Card Accounts," or a specific tab for your rewards.
-
Look for details related to your points or miles. While your full SkyMiles number might not be explicitly displayed for security reasons, you might find:
-
A link that directs you to your Delta SkyMiles account.
-
Information about your miles balance, which implicitly confirms the linkage.
-
Sometimes, only the last few digits of your SkyMiles number might be shown.
-
Sub-heading: Transferring Membership Rewards Points (If Applicable)
If you have an American Express card that earns Membership Rewards points (not a co-branded Delta SkyMiles card), and you've previously linked your Delta SkyMiles account to transfer points, you can often find your linked SkyMiles number in the "Transfer Points" section of your Membership Rewards dashboard.
-
From your Amex account, go to Rewards & Benefits -> Membership Rewards.
-
Select Transfer Points to Travel Partners.
-
Find Delta SkyMiles in the list of partners. Your linked SkyMiles number (or an option to add it) should be visible there.
Step 5: Consult Your American Express Statements
Old-fashioned but effective! Your monthly credit card statements can be a treasure trove of information.
Sub-heading: Digital Statements
-
Log in to your American Express online account.
-
Access your digital statements for your Delta SkyMiles card.
-
Scan through past statements (especially recent ones). Your Delta SkyMiles number might be printed in a section related to your rewards or miles earned. It's often found near your account summary or where your miles balance is listed.
Sub-heading: Paper Statements
If you receive paper statements, check those as well. The SkyMiles number, or at least a reference to your SkyMiles account, could be present.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Step 6: Contact American Express or Delta Customer Service
When all else fails, a direct call can resolve the issue quickly.
 |
Sub-heading: Contacting Delta Air Lines
Since the SkyMiles account is with Delta, they are the primary point of contact for SkyMiles number retrieval.
-
Call Delta SkyMiles Customer Service: You can reach Delta at 1-800-323-2323 (within the U.S.).
-
Be prepared to verify your identity with information like your full name, date of birth, address, and potentially the last four digits of your Social Security Number. They will be able to look up your SkyMiles number for you.
Sub-heading: Contacting American Express
While Amex might redirect you to Delta for the actual SkyMiles number, they can often confirm which SkyMiles account is linked to your card.
-
Call the number on the back of your American Express card.
-
Explain that you're trying to find the Delta SkyMiles number associated with your Amex card. They might be able to provide it or at least guide you to the correct Delta channels.
Step 7: Check Previous Flight Bookings or Emails
If you've previously booked flights with Delta using your SkyMiles number, or received communications from Delta, your number might be hiding there.
Sub-heading: Old Booking Confirmations
-
Dig through your email inbox for old Delta flight confirmation emails. Your SkyMiles number is often included in these emails.
-
Check your spam or junk folders if you can't find them in your main inbox.
Sub-heading: Delta Promotional Emails
-
Delta frequently sends out promotional emails or newsletters to SkyMiles members. Your SkyMiles number might be subtly included in the footer or header of these emails.
Step 8: Use the Delta Fly App
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
If you have the Delta Fly app installed on your smartphone, your SkyMiles number is readily accessible.
Sub-heading: Accessing Your Profile in the App
-
Open the Fly Delta App.
-
Log in to your account.
-
Your SkyMiles number is usually displayed prominently on the home screen or within the "My SkyMiles" / "Profile" section of the app.
By following these steps, you should be able to locate your American Express SkyMiles number with ease! Remember, keeping track of this number is key to managing your valuable travel rewards.
