Using delta gift card with award purchase

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anybody had experience with a situation where they were able to use their points toward a flight purchase and use the taxes and fees via a gift card. Or would I have to pay via cash/credit card? Thanks in advance!

I don't think you're able to use gift cards on award flights, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Can't use Gift Cards to pay for any part of Award or Miles + Cash tickets.

"Gift Cards cannot be used to pay for any cash portion of an Award or Miles + Cash Ticket."

Is this restriction still applicable. Trying to book a ticket and it says "eCredits cannot be applied when paying with Miles.". I want to pay using Gift card and not e-credit.

Yes, it's still in the FAQ section linked above
