T&C Clarification on Delta VDB eCredit Vouchers
Recently I VDB'ed on three flights. In total I received:
I'd like to use my VDB compensation to purchase an international flight for me and my husband.
The terms and conditions on the eCredit VDB vouchers state:
Also from the T&C -
My questions are:
I am only an FO if that is relevant to any of the answers. Many thanks for your help.
- Two Delta eCredit vouchers (both vouchers are issued in my name)
- One VDB gift credit I can use to select from an AMEX Reward Card, Delta eGift Card, and other store gift cards such as Amazon, Best Buy, Macy's, etc.
I'd like to use my VDB compensation to purchase an international flight for me and my husband.
The terms and conditions on the eCredit VDB vouchers state:
Voucher is non-transferable unless assigned to someone traveling with the original voucher owner on the same reservation at the time the voucher is being redeemed.
A maximum of one voucher per passenger may be applied and used on one ticket.
- Can I use two vouchers (one voucher per person) on one ticket (i.e., use eCredit Voucher #1 for me and eCredit Voucher #2 for my husband)?
- Would my best selection of "gifts" for the $500 VDB would be the AMEX Reward Card to pay for any residual costs associated with the tickets?
- Can I use the eCredit VDB vouchers to pay for an upgrade to Comfort+ or would that have to be paid with cash or the AMEX Reward Card?
- If the cost of the ticket exceeds my VDB compensation, can I combine Pay With Miles as a form of payment in this scenario?
I am only an FO if that is relevant to any of the answers. Many thanks for your help.

I'm not for certain, but I believe the answers are as follows:
1) Yes. Book them together on the same reservations. Hopefully this can be accomplished online, but you might have to call.
2) No. Unless you don't plan to use the full value (in which case using the amex card would be best as there would still be $$ on it), the best option would be the delta e-gift card. This does not operate like the vouchers. It's treated as a payment method. I've selected the $200 e-gift card as a DM before and combined it with a voucher.
3) Depends on when the travel is. If it's post May 16, it would all be priced into the C+ fare. In that case, yes. If it's before May 16 the e-gift card would work for sure, but I'm not so sure about the vouchers.
4) I believe so, yes. EDIT: Maybe not, per others
You could probably figure out most of this for sure by doing a test booking on DL.com.

1) Usually DL waives the phone ticketing fee if you explain that it isn't possible to purchase your tickets on delta.dumb.
