Customer Support Channels

📞 Phone Support

Getting a human on the line is often the most direct way to solve complicated problems. Be prepared for a wait, though. If you have Medallion status, make sure to use the dedicated phone number on the back of your digital card for shorter hold times.

Department	Phone Number	Hours (ET)
SkyMiles Member Support	1-800-323-2323	24 hours, 7 days a week
General Sales & Service	1-800-221-1212	24 hours, 7 days a week
Medallion Members	Check the Fly Delta App for your dedicated line	24 hours, 7 days a week

📧 Email Support

SkyMiles doesn't really use a traditional support email. Instead, you have to submit a web form. It's not great for back-and-forth conversation, but it does create a paper trail.

Purpose	Link	Notes
General Comments/Complaints	Online Comment Form	Response can take several business days, sometimes even weeks.
Claim Missing Miles	Missing Miles Form	This is an automated form and usually the fastest way to get miles credited.

💬 Live Chat or Website Bot

This is often the quickest way to get simple things sorted. You'll probably start with a bot, but you can get to a human.

Where to access: Click the "Message Us" button on the Delta Help Center page or find it in the "More" tab of the Fly Delta app.
Steps to access: Log in to your SkyMiles account, navigate to the Help Center, and look for the chat icon.
Types of problems it handles: Seat assignments, baggage questions, basic mileage inquiries, and website troubleshooting.
Escalation: Yes, you can request to be transferred to a live agent if the bot can't solve your problem.

📱 In-App Support

Using the Fly Delta app is probably the most convenient method for on-the-go issues.

Platform: iOS and Android.
Steps to contact: Download the Fly Delta app, log in, tap the "More" tab in the bottom navigation, and select "Message Us." This launches the same chat feature available on the website.

Tips to Reach Support Faster from SkyMiles

Call during off-peak hours. Think mid-week, late at night, or very early in the morning (e.g., 5 AM ET). Avoid Mondays and Fridays.
Use the dedicated Medallion phone line if you have status. The wait times are significantly shorter.
Try the in-app "Message Us" feature first. For simple requests, it's often faster than waiting on hold.
If the US line is busy, some frequent flyers report success calling one of Delta's international numbers via Skype or Google Voice.
Have your SkyMiles number and flight info ready to go. Don't make them wait for you to find it.

Before You Call: What to Have Ready

Don't waste your own time. Before you even think about dialing, get your stuff together. Trust me, the agent will ask for it, and it's so much less stressful if you have it all in front of you.

Your SkyMiles Number: This is the absolute first thing they'll ask for. Have it copied and ready to paste or read out.
Flight Confirmation or Ticket Number: If your issue is about a specific flight, this is non-negotiable. It's a 6-character code for confirmations or a 13-digit number for tickets.
Dates and Specifics of Your Issue: Know the exact flight dates, the problem you had, and what you want as a resolution. Don't be vague.
The Email Address on Your Account: They use this for verification. Make sure you know which one is tied to your SkyMiles profile.
