The delta.com Partner Program is a way for you to earn money while providing travel services to customers of your web site. Place a Delta text link or banner on your web site and earn a commission on every qualified transaction that is referred to delta.com from your site. Our banners and text links are uniquely tagged and tracked through LinkShare so that each qualified transaction on delta.com referred from your site gets reported and you get the credit. Through our partnership with LinkShare, you will have 24/7 access to your online account where you can view sales activity and commission reports.

Does it cost me to join?

What is a qualified transaction on delta.com?
A qualified transaction is a transaction which originates from your site, is completed at delta.com and generates one or more Delta tickets within a seven day window after the initial click-thru from your site. The exact definition is contained within the delta.com Partner Program Terms and Conditions.
How much money can I make?
Delta has a tiered commission structure:
- $5 per qualified transaction for 200+ qualified transactions a month
- $4 per qualified transaction for 50-199 qualified transactions a month
- $3 per qualified transaction for 1-49 qualified transactions a month
For example, if you referred 75 qualified transactions a month, you would receive $4 for each qualified transaction, for a total of $300.
How often do I receive commissions?
Commission payments will be mailed to you on a monthly basis, provided you have earned at least $25. If the commissions payable to you for the month are less than $25, we will hold those commissions until the total amount due is at least $25.
Are my own purchases eligible for commissions
Yes! As long as you make a purchase on delta.com after clicking on the delta.com
link provided on your site, you will earn commission on your qualified transactions.
How do I set up Delta links on my site?
You can access Delta links in several easy ways:
- Go to linkshare.com
and log in with username and password
- Click the Create Links tab
- Choose Delta Air Lines from the list of merchants
- Select a category from the Available Link Types box
- Choose a banner or text link, then copy and paste that code on your web site. The code already includes your account's LinkShare ID, which enables that link to be tracked to your account so you will get credit.
- OR, you can copy and paste banner code and text link code directly from our emails and quarterly newsletters. The tracking codes are already embedded in the links so all you have to do is copy and paste into your site's HTML code.
Where should I place the links on my site?
Place Delta banners and/or text links in highly visible areas, such as your home page, navigation bar, and in travel-related areas on your site. Placing links in a prominent location will most likely result in more qualified transactions, which means more commissions for you.
How often should my links be updated?
Dynamic text links and graphical banners will be automatically updated by Delta periodically. We will also send you emails and newsletters with links to new promotional offers. At any time, you can go to the Create Links section in the Delta Affiliate Interface at LinkShare.com and choose from the complete collection of our text and banner links.
Can I promote my affiliation with Delta in my advertisements?
Any affiliation with Delta may not be promoted without prior approval by Delta.
How are qualified transactions tracked and credited to my site?
Once accepted in our program, you will be issued a unique LinkShare Source ID that will allow us to track all qualified transactions on delta.com that are referred from your site.
How can I view my sales activity and commissions?
Once accepted in our program, you will be given a Linkshare login and password to access your online account, which includes reports on sales activity, best performing banners and text links, commissions earned, etc.
How often can I access my reports?
You can access your reports on LinkShare.com anytime: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Can I update my account information?
Yes, updates can be made anytime by logging on to your Delta Affiliate Interface at Linkshare.com and selecting "Account Management."
