*Halocard is unable to guarantee acceptance for your individual situation
While Halocard has successfully processed transactions at Delta Air Lines, merchant acceptance can change at any time. Merchants can apply fraud and risk-based rules that prevent customers from using US-issued cards at checkout which is outside of Halocard's control. We recommend using Halocard to first make a test payment with Delta Air Lines to confirm acceptance for your individual situation. Halocard does not provide refunds in the event your card is declined.

Tips for successful payments at Delta
- AcceptedUse the card's billing address as your mailing address on the booking. Delta asks for the two to be the same on card purchases.
- AcceptedApply any eCredits on the payment page first and put the rest on your card. eCredits cover the ticket and government taxes and fees only.
- AcceptedBuying a ticket for someone else? The cardholder may be asked to show the card and a photo ID at a Delta airport ticket counter or ticket office.
- AcceptedTo buy SkyMiles miles, your SkyMiles account must be at least 10 days old and have earned at least one mile.
Why do Delta payments decline?
Mailing and billing addresses differ
Delta requires the same mailing and billing address to buy a ticket with a card. Change the mailing address to the card's billing address and complete the purchase again.
Delta payment FAQ
What should I do if Delta declines or doesn't support my card?
Pay with a Halocard instead. Delta accepts it, and as a US-issued Visa credit card held in US dollars it is accepted at checkouts that are strict about card type or country. Halocard is available for customers in the US and 120+ countries, so check that your country is supported, then make a card for Delta in minutes. See the countries Halocard supports.
Can I use a virtual card for Delta?
Yes. Delta accepts Halocard, a US-issued Visa credit card that works like a debit card. Make a card just for Delta and you are in full control: set a limit, lock it or cancel it whenever you like, without ever handing Delta your bank card.
Can I keep my real card and address private from Delta?
Yes, with Halocard. Halocard is a US-issued Visa credit card that gives you a separate card for each merchant, so Delta only ever sees your Halocard, never your bank card. You choose the cardholder name and billing address on each card, so your home address stays out of Delta's records. If Delta is ever caught up in a data breach, cancel that one card and make a new one in seconds.
Does Delta accept PayPal?
Yes. Delta accepts PayPal on delta.com for flights departing from domestic airports. PayPal Credit is accepted too, so you can pay for a ticket over time, subject to credit approval. To use PayPal Credit, log in to your PayPal wallet at checkout.
Can I pay for Delta flights later?
On flights booked on delta.com that depart from a domestic airport, PayPal Credit lets you spread the cost of a ticket, subject to credit approval. Delta Vacations packages offer Affirm, with 6, 12, 18 or 24 monthly payments at 10 to 36% APR based on credit and an eligibility check.
Can I pay for a Delta ticket with eCredits?
Yes. eCredits are electronic vouchers, such as Travel Credit Vouchers, Delta Dollars and unused past date tickets. They pay for Delta tickets and government taxes and fees, and have no cash value. Redeem them on delta.com with no transaction fee. Paper vouchers are redeemed at an airport ticket counter or a Delta ticket office.
Can I pay for Delta flights with miles?
Yes. SkyMiles members can book Award Travel with miles, and the taxes and fees on an award ticket are paid when you book. If you are short of miles, you can buy up to 60,000 a year at $0.035 per mile plus taxes, once your account is 10 days old and has earned a mile.
Does Delta accept debit cards?
Yes. Delta takes debit cards on delta.com alongside credit cards. Delta notes that some banks limit the amount per transaction, and that bank processing times vary for releasing a hold or a reversed charge on a debit card.
