Some even call them SkyPesos. <\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re wrong. <\/p>\n<p>Delta SkyMiles can definitely be difficult to understand and use. Unlike many airline miles that have set rules for how much a flight should cost (called an award chart), the amount of SkyMiles you&#8217;ll pay to book a flight can vary drastically. <\/p>\n<p>That makes it harder to figure out what&#8217;s a good deal and what&#8217;s not. And in some cases, it means you&#8217;ll pay a fortune (in SkyMiles) for the flights you&#8217;re looking for. <\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t give up. There can still be some tremendous value when using SkyMiles. If you follow some principles and our tips laid out in this video, you&#8217;ll find some opportunities to use your SkyMiles that you simply can&#8217;t find with other airlines. <\/p>\n<p>There are frequent flash sales with domestic flights as low as 5,000 SkyMiles round-trip, trips to the Caribbean and even Europe for just 15,000 SkyMiles or less, and much more. There are workarounds you can employ to save a boatload of miles. And you can even use your SkyMiles to fly partner airlines, saving SkyMiles for an even better deal. <\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: SkyMiles aren&#8217;t worthless. Just the opposite, in fact. You just need to put in some extra work and follow these tips to see that. <\/p>\n<p>Learn even more about how SkyMiles work and how to use them: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"cgkeKNMbB2\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/thriftytraveler.com\/guides\/points\/how-delta-skymiles-work\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">How Delta SkyMiles Work and How to Make Them Work for You<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How Delta SkyMiles Work and How to Make Them Work for You&#8221; &#8212; Thrifty Traveler\" src=\"https:\/\/thriftytraveler.com\/guides\/points\/how-delta-skymiles-work\/embed\/#?secret=gdJtaI3JO1#?secret=cgkeKNMbB2\" data-secret=\"cgkeKNMbB2\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to get more videos like this direct to your YouTube feed:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=thriftytraveler<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for Thrifty Traveler Premium to get domestic and international flight deal alerts &#8211; including SkyMiles flash sales!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"lNaVvbBpla\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/thriftytraveler.com\/premium\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Thrifty Traveler Premium<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Thrifty Traveler Premium&#8221; &#8212; Thrifty Traveler\" src=\"https:\/\/thriftytraveler.com\/premium\/embed\/#?secret=PzyTbVwgIV#?secret=lNaVvbBpla\" data-secret=\"lNaVvbBpla\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Stay up-to-date with the latest in cheap travel with our free newsletter: https:\/\/thriftytraveler.typeform.com\/to\/Ke5dVU<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Again and again, we hear people say that Delta SkyMiles are worthless.
