Before we dive into cancellation for Premium Select, it helps to review how Delta classifies fares and what “nonrefundable vs refundable” means:

• Delta offers fare classes such as Basic Economy, Main Cabin, Comfort+, Premium Select, and Delta One.

• Some tickets are refundable (you can cancel and get your money back to original payment), others are nonrefundable (you will typically get eCredit or residual value).

• Delta’s policy states that for nonrefundable tickets, if canceled before departure, you may get eCredit—the remaining value after any cancellation fee. Delta Content+2Delta+2

• For certain ticket classes “Main Classic or above,” Delta has eliminated cancellation/change fees on flights originating in the U.S. and Canada — meaning you cancel and get eCredit without fee (if fare is nonrefundable). Delta

Given that, the question is: for Premium Select, is cancellation for partial eCredit allowed? The answer is: yes — under many conditions — but it depends on fare rules, origin, and when you cancel.

When Premium Select Cancellation for eCredit Is Allowed

Here are scenarios in which you can cancel Premium Select and receive eCredit:

1. Nonrefundable Premium Select fare
   If your Premium Select ticket is nonrefundable, you can cancel prior to departure and get eCredit equal to the unused portion (minus any cancellation fees) — provided your ticket and route allow cancellation. This aligns with general Delta nonrefundable ticket policy. Delta Content+2Delta+2

2. Within U.S. / Canada origin, Main Classic / above (including Premium Select)
   For tickets originating in the U.S. or Canada, Delta’s “no change / cancellation fees” policy for Main Classic and above includes tickets like Premium Select. That means cancellation does not incur an extra fee, and the remaining value becomes eCredit. Delta

3. After a Delta‑initiated schedule change
   If Delta significantly alters your schedule (cancellation or major change), you may be entitled to a refund or eCredit, even if your fare is normally nonrefundable. Delta’s policy allows you to cancel the rebooked flight and get a refund or eCredit for unused portion. Delta+1

4. Cancellation within 24-hour “Risk-Free” window
   For tickets purchased directly from Delta, you generally have 24 hours to cancel for a full refund (to original payment) — even on Premium Select — so long as the flight is at least 7 days away. After 24 hours, nonrefundable fare rules take effect. Delta Content+2Delta+2

5. International origin – fees apply
   When your flight originates outside the U.S. or Canada, Premium Select cancellation may include a cancellation fee (e.g. €250 for Premium Select in some routes) and then issuance of eCredit for the remainder. UpgradedPoints.com+1

Thus, whether you “can cancel for partial eCredit” depends on route, when you cancel, and the fare rules.

When You Cannot Cancel for eCredit (or Face Denials / Restrictions)

There are times when Delta will not grant eCredit (or refund) on cancellation of Premium Select:

• If your fare is fully refundable and you instead demand eCredit — in that case the policy would require full refund.

• If cancellation is attempted after departure or after first segment — you lose value or cannot get eCredit for used portions.

• If your ticket was purchased via a third party or travel agency — sometimes refunds or eCredit must be processed through that agency. Delta

• If your cancellation is outside the eligible window, or the fare rules specifically disallow cancellations or refunds (rare for Premium Select, but possible).

• If your flight originates in a region where cancellation fees always apply, your eCredit may be reduced by the fee. UpgradedPoints.com+2Delta+2

Also, some users report that post‑purchase upgrades (e.g. upgrading into Premium Select after booking) have more restrictive cancellation rules. For example, a Reddit user said:

“When purchasing premium select upgrades, that was nonchangeable and nonrefundable except in the case of Delta‑initiated schedule change.” Reddit

Thus, if you upgraded separately into Premium Select, your upgrade portion might not be refundable outside of special cases, but it may depend on the agent or status.

How Delta Calculates eCredit on Premium Select Cancellation

When you cancel a nonrefundable Premium Select ticket, Delta typically does:

1. Subtract any cancellation fee (if applicable)

2. Calculate the unused portion of the fare (for flights not yet flown)

3. Convert that unused value into eCredit

4. Preserve the eCredit validity (usually 1 year from original ticket issue date unless exceptions)

5. For schedule changes, Delta may allow refund or extended validity (e.g. 5 years in some cases) for eCredit. zt.delta.com+1

If your cancellation is in the U.S. for a Premium Select fare under the “no fees for Main Classic and above” policy, the subtraction of cancellation fee may not apply — you may get full eCredit for the unused portion. Delta+1

Again, whether the upgrade portion (if you upgraded) is refundable might be more restricted.

Step‑by‑Step: How to Cancel Your Premium Select and Get eCredit

Here’s a practical process:

1. Log in to Delta, go to “My Trips”

2. Find your Premium Select ticket

3. Click “Need to Cancel?” → “Start Flight Cancellation” Delta Content+2Delta+2

4. Confirm cancellation. The system will indicate whether your ticket is refundable or nonrefundable, and whether eCredit will be issued

5. If eligible, Delta will convert the unused portion into eCredit

6. If fare rules or route require a cancellation fee, it may be deducted before issuing eCredit
