Delta Amex Reserve & Free WiFi: What's Included (2026)
The Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex card is the flagship Delta co-brand card. Like the Amex Platinum, Reserve cardholders get free WiFi on Delta flights via the SkyMiles enrollment — with the added benefit that flying Delta earns toward status simultaneously.
What You Get
Free full-flight WiFi on every WiFi-equipped Delta mainline flight. Same coverage as the Amex Platinum benefit — every SkyMiles member already gets this free, so the Reserve doesn't add unique WiFi access, but it consolidates your Delta spend and WiFi in one place.
- ›Delta SkyMiles Reserve American Express Card (personal or business)
- ›Must enroll card with Delta SkyMiles account (same process as Amex Platinum)
How to Activate
- 1 Log into your Delta SkyMiles account at delta.com
- 2 Under "Payment Methods," link your SkyMiles Reserve Amex card
- 3 On your first flight, connect to "DeltaWiFi.com" and select "Free WiFi with SkyMiles"
- 4 Enter your SkyMiles number — card link is now persistent
Gotchas
- ! Delta WiFi is free for all SkyMiles members regardless of card — the Reserve doesn't unlock anything extra
- ! Codeshare flights operated by partners (KLM, Air France, etc.) are not covered
- ! Delta Connect regional flights may not have WiFi hardware
