if you have a Delta AMEX you can do a 'partial pay with miles.' When you are going to pay for your reservation, if you have a 'pay with miles' eligible itinerary, you will have the option of using various increments of skymiles to reduce your out-of-pocket cost for a ticket. It is usually 10,000 miles = $100 off.
Keep in mind you will not earn skymiles on your reservation if you do a partial pay with miles and you will also (theoretically) not be eligible for complementary medallion upgrades (if this applies to you).
