Ecredit in 'MyDelta' - what can I do with it?
I have an Ecredit that shows up in my account for around $80 that I think is from an nonrefundable ticket I bought but never took last winter. Under 'terms' it says 'To redeem, you will need the Ticket Number' - do they mean the number from the ticket which resulted in the credit, or what?
Can I only use this to buy another ticket, or is it possible to use this kind of Ecredit toward other things like upgrading to a preferred seat or buying a skyclub pass or something?

When you re-book using that credit, the receipt looks like they charged you a change fee, but it's showing the change fee that was deducted from the ticket you never flew.

But clearly sometimes it doesn't work that way, which would be nice for the OP!

so is there any chance I can use it for something other than buying a fare? I'm flying soon and the ticket is paid for so it would be cool if i could put it toward an economy plus (or whatever delta calls it) upgrade, or skyclub pass, or something like that

no worries, and thanks for the input everyone

In short, the credit represents value already paid and available toward airfare, and not some sort of liquid currency that can be applied to other items.
