Delta Air Lines has expanded its SkyMiles mileage transfer feature. SkyMiles members may now transfer more miles per transaction and more miles per year with a smaller minimum transfer requirement.

The minimum transfer amount for members has been reduced from 5,000 to 1,000 miles. Members may transfer miles in increments of 1,000 miles. Additionally, members may now transfer or receive up to 30,000 miles per transaction with a maximum of 150,000 miles per calendar year. Previously, members could only transfer or receive up to 10,000 miles per transaction with a maximum of 50,000 miles per calendar year.

Comment: Beware of lower minimum transfers. The fees associated with them can make it a very expensive exchange. It’s probably better to build miles from activity or transfers from your hotel points.
