As the thread title says, I have 13 Delta Amex (both Platinum (Main Cabin) and Reserve (First Class) companion certificates in my wallet that expire on 01/31/2023.

Most optimistically, I *might* be able to burn 2-3 of them before then, but even that would be iffy.

How can we best make use of them so they don't just expire?

I also have a TON of Sky Club Guest Passes (14 of them) that expire soon too, but there's not much I can do about that, since I also have the Executive SC membership. I've waited near various SC check-in counters and help people out who get rejected, but I only have 3-4 more flights planned before EOY.

Apologies if this is a redundant thread. Please merge or point me in the right direction. I'm definitely NOT looking for any compensation or personal advantage, but if we can use these certificates or vouchers to help anyone out, we'd much rather not just let them expire unused.

Give them away to F&F

I would absolutely love 1-2 and would put them to good use. I just charge the flights on my Amex so no risk to you.

I also have 3 Reserve ones that will expire the same time. PM for details.

Fly2Connect

I have one Platinum one up for grabs. PM me if you're interested.

EDIT: All gone now

Wow! I thought I was cert heavy with four of them😅😅 been booking ow domestically with points in lieu of booking rt w/cert cash.

Can these be used to book to Canada in practice? Glossed over the T&C's which seem to limit to "contiguous 48 states" -- so it excludes Alaska and Hawaii intentionally?

Adam1222

Correct- no Alaska, no Hawaii, no Canada, no Puerto Rico, no Iceland, no Pakistan. The contiguous 48 states.

With apologies for the technicality/pedantry (but this is FT after all):

... unless you live there.

"Residents of Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico or the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) must originate from there to the 48 contiguous United States and have an address on their SkyMiles account in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico or the USVI."

Although I assume this is usual DL website lack of rigor in language and what it practically means is that "Residents of ... _may_ originate from there to the US48" and not that they are prevented from using it on an itinerary wholly contained within the US48 if they so choose. (My recollection is also that direction didn't use to matter, i.e. ISTR the terms used to spell out that residents of those 3 areas could book a RT originating from US48 to those areas, but I could just be fabricating this memory...)

I was able to successfully use them to/from Canada (at no extra charge) but only after a schedule change to/from BUF.

May I humbly suggest further questions/discussion about how the program works generally- as opposed to generous offers to share expiring certificates- be directed to the master thread on that topic, AMEX Delta Companion certificate Consolidated Thread

dang, I’d have *gladly* taken two of those off your hands yesterday (one for an hour before DCA departure, one for ~2-hr ATL layover) had you posted this 48 hrs earlier …

DLHubber

I don’t think it works like that. Pretty sure he has to actually be there in order to bring someone in using a guest pass. It’s not just a “free SkyClub entry” pass.

TheHorta, your generosity is incredible. This is Flyertalk at it's finest.
