@kawakasbahMy guess is they are not, but you could always go to Delta’s website and ask. They have a help center where you can message them.

Thanks. no help from neither Latam nor Delta. quite a conundrum. I give up

Did you try the message center? I used it a couple of times and got an answer within a few hours 

it takes forever to talk to someone and when you finally do, they are of no help since they don’t know.

I found this:

@kawakasbah, is there an advantage to transfer skymiles to LATAM?   I use various skyteam partners but I find that the skymiles is the most flexible program because the miles do not expire.

Here is what I do to ask about the transfer - I search for a flight that has a delta leg and LATAM leg.  Then I call the Delta customer support using the Delta App.  When I get a person online, I will ask for the flight as per the previous search.  After the customer support person has identified this flight and availability, you can ask about LATAM miles / transfer / etc.  You will typically be put on hold for 10 -20 mins as the customer service person contacts the partner airline - but you will definitely get an answer.

I like to use the Delta App customer support number because there is a survey at the end of the call - and the support person is incentivized to provide excellent support.

Good luck.
