Go to Delta website, SkyMiles, Use Miles. Click on "donate miles".

Unfortunately, I can only subscribe to the magazines if I live in the US, I live in Canada and I do not have 5,000 to donate. Any suggestions? Thanks

Perhaps you can order magazines as gifts for folks you know in US? Or order them and donate the magazines to a US charity like a nursing home, school, hospital etc??

Join Points.com and as a bonus they will give you 10 miles and that will update the expiration date of your miles.
