Delta Air Lines eCredits To redeem your Delta eCredit, you'll need your 13-digit eCredit number that begins with 006. Delta eCredits are valid for one year from the day the original flight was booked, and travel must be booked by the expiration date.

As of 2026, Delta eCredits generally expire one year from the date the original ticket was purchased, rather than the date the flight was cancelled. However, the exact rules depend on why the credit was issued. If you voluntarily cancel a non-refundable ticket, you typically have 12 months from the original purchase date to rebook and begin travel. If Delta makes a significant schedule change or cancels your flight and you opt for a credit instead of a cash refund, these credits may have a longer validity, sometimes up to five years. It is important to note that the pandemic-era extensions that lasted through 2023 have ended. You can check your specific expiration dates by logging into your SkyMiles account or using the "Find Your eCredit" tool on Delta's website with your original 13-digit ticket number.
