Frustrated with Delta.com’s Certificate Page Update? Here are a Couple of Workarounds.

Delta recently redesigned its Certificates, eCredits, or Delta Gift Cards page. This is where your Delta Amex companion certificates, regional upgrade certificates, global upgrade certificates, and flight vouchers are available. It’s also where you can check a Delta gift card’s balance.

While the makeover certainly is an aesthetic upgrade, some users are having problems getting it to work correctly.

Reader Eric G. gave me the heads up last weekend that Delta updated the page. I received this message when testing it out:

I figured the error message was a growing pain and didn’t think anything else of it.

But reader Jerry emailed me and said he, too, had problems with the page.

So I tried again — and received the “there was a problem processing your request” message.

Hmmm…

How It Finally Worked for Me

For my first two (and unsuccessful) attempts, I used Google Chrome.

From there, I tried two different browsers: Safari and Firefox. Both attempts were successful!

So if you have problems logging in to the certs page, try a different browser. If that fails, give Delta a call.

All Is Not Yet Fixed

You’ll notice I have a couple of open, unused eTickets. The old interface allowed you to see how much value remained.

No such luck here.

A call to the Medallion desk provided me the answers I needed.

Still, it’s frustrating that ticket values aren’t displayed. But it’s just another reminder to keep good records of your tickets.
