Can I set up a separate account and use my credit card and email?I don’t fly delta but on United you do each person separately. I do all mine online but you need separate accounts set up for each person.
If she's got her own miles, she already has a separate account.Can I set up a separate account and use my credit card and email?
Yes she does have her own account. I don’t know what I was thinking.If she's got her own miles, she already has a separate account.
I agree w/PP, unless you're going to pay to have the miles transferred between accounts, I think you're going to have to book them separately.
This will work only of OP has enough miles to book both tickets, which is not the case. You cannot book a ticket using someone else's points. (i.e. Person1 has 30,000 miles, Person2 has 30,000 miles; if the tickets cost 29,000 miles, that requires a transfer or two transactions to book two tickets)They do not need to be separate reservations.
You just simply fill out the passenger information as you normally would during checkout after you have already selected that you are paying by miles.
Do not transfer your miles to her -- this will cost you a ridiculous amount of money and is totally unnecessary.
Agreed. Some airlines like JetBlue and British Airways have a family pooling system where family members’ miles can be combined to make a reservation, without any transfer being needed, but Delta unfortunately does not.This will work only of OP has enough miles to book both tickets, which is not the case.

True just tried to book both together and it said not enough milesThis will work only of OP has enough miles to book both tickets, which is not the case.

I won’t transfer. It says a fee .35 per mile!Oh, sorry. I misread it. I thought she said she had all the miles and was trying to gift it. Either way, do not transfer your miles!
Delta wants to make it complicated!Agreed. Some airlines like JetBlue and British Airways have a family pooling system where family members’ miles can be combined to make a reservation, without any transfer being needed, but Delta unfortunately does not.
