Delta Airlines provides eCredits to customers when flights are canceled or voluntarily changed, allowing travelers to use the credit for future flights. A common question arises: are these eCredits transferable to family members or others? Understanding Delta’s policy on eCredit transfers is essential to maximize their value and avoid missed opportunities.
In this article, we’ll dive deep into Delta’s eCredit policies, explore transferability options, exceptions, and how to contact Delta for specific requests. For direct support, call Delta at [☎+1 (888) 263-37-15].
Delta eCredits are electronic vouchers issued to passengers when:
Flights are canceled by Delta.
Passengers voluntarily cancel or change their flights.
Certain non-refundable tickets are adjusted.
These eCredits represent the value of the canceled or changed ticket and can be redeemed toward future Delta flights. They often come with expiration dates and usage restrictions.
To check or redeem your eCredits, call Delta at [☎+1 (888) 263-37-15].
Delta’s standard policy states that eCredits are non-transferable and must be used by the original ticket holder whose name appears on the canceled or changed ticket. This means:
You cannot simply give your eCredit to a family member to book a flight under their name.
Delta requires the traveler’s name on the booking to match the eCredit holder’s name.
However, certain exceptions may apply depending on the ticket type or if you contact Delta directly.

Delta enforces this policy for several reasons:
Preventing fraud and misuse of tickets.
Ensuring compliance with fare rules and airline regulations.
Simplifying accounting and customer service processes.
While this may feel restrictive, it helps maintain fairness and security in ticketing.
Delta allows limited name corrections or changes on certain tickets for a fee. Sometimes, you may adjust the traveler’s name on a new booking, effectively allowing a family member to use your eCredit.

Always log into your Delta account linked to your eCredits before booking.
Apply eCredits during the payment stage of flight booking.
Pay attention to expiration dates to avoid losing credit value.

Since direct transfers are typically not allowed:
Consider booking the flight yourself and adding family members as travelers on the reservation, if permitted.
