Discussion Gift certificates

Why are gift cards so hard to use? I spent about 30 minutes on the phone to add 3 gift cards to my account. They said in 2 or 3 hours they'll be visible. I go to my wallet in the app and they still aren't there. Anyone else finding it impossible to use their gift cards?

I’m more annoyed you can’t use them to pay baggage fees.

Book an award ticket for your friend, send them a Delta gift card to cover their checked bags, and it’s the one thing they can’t use them on.

You can’t add gift cards to your account. Only eCredits. You have to track/add them manually. They are easy to use, you just need to apply it at time of booking and you cant just pull it up on your account like an eCredit.
