If you're a top-tier flyer with another airline, you can request to participate in our one-time SkyMiles Medallion® Status Match Challenge between July 5, 2011 and June 30, 2013, and qualify for comparable status with the Medallion program.
As a Medallion member, you'll enjoy exclusive privileges such as Unlimited Complimentary Upgrades for paid tickets, access to Preferred Seats, and waived baggage fees.
If you meet the criteria to participate, you will receive Platinum, Gold or Silver Medallion status for 90 days, based on your current elite level with another airline. The 90-day period will start when a member's request has been processed.
If you registered for the offer prior to June 30, 2012 and you complete the flight requirements, your Medallion status will be maintained until February 28, 2013.
If you register for the offer between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 and you complete the flight requirements, your Medallion status will be maintained until February 28, 2014.
In order to extend your Medallion status after the 90-days, you'll need to earn a specific number of Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) or Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs) within the 90-days of enrolling by flying Delta or Delta Connection®. The number of MQMs or MQSs required is based on your matched Medallion level.
Customers who enroll in the Challenge and meet the flight requirement within a 90-day period from enrollment will retain their matched Medallion status through February 28, 2014 (2013 if you registered prior to July 1, 2012), unless a higher Medallion level is earned by reaching published Medallion qualification thresholds. Medallion status must be earned in subsequent years by traveling the required amount of MQMs or MQSs.
Visit delta.com/medallion for more information on earning MQMs and MQSs and additional details on Medallion program benefits.
