HOW TO ELEVATE YOUR STATUS

You have the opportunity to Elevate Your Status by buying a bundle of Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs), Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs – U.S. based Members only) and Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs) for one SkyMiles account which will be posted to your 2019 balance and apply toward your 2020 Status. You have until February 29, 2020 to participate in Elevate Your Status.

01 CHECK YOUR 2019 BALANCE

Visit your My SkyMiles page or find SkyMiles in the Fly Delta App. View the right side of your tracker to see how many MQMs, MQSs and MQDs you need to reach the next Tier of 2020 Medallion Status.

02 SELECT A QUALIFICATION BUNDLE

After you select “Purchase Now” you’ll be able to select your desired bundle of MQMs, MQSs and MQDs. Since you know the amount you need, you will be able to decide which of the available bundles is right for you. 

03 COMPLETE YOUR TRANSACTION

You’re on your way to the next Tier of Medallion Status. After you’ve completed the previous steps, you’ll be asked to pay for the bundle of MQMs, MQSs and MQDs that you select. The amount you pay represents the amount of MQDs included in the bundle that you earn.

 You must meet the eligibilty requirements to purchase a bundle. Review eligibility requirements.

PURCHASE NOW

What does this mean for your Status?

  • The dollar amount you spend on MQMs and MQSs will then be credited to your 2019 MQDs balance and will apply towards your 2020 Status.
  • Any MQMs purchased that exceed the amount needed to achieve Medallion Status for 2020 will roll over and count towards your 2021 Status.
  • MQMs, MQSs and MQDs will post to your SkyMiles account within 24 hours of purchase.
  • Keep in mind: MQMs, MQSs and MQDs purchased through this offer are non-refundable.

Who is eligible for Elevate Your Status?

  • If you are a Platinum, Gold or Silver Medallion Member, you are eligible for Elevate Your Status unless you received complimentary Status for a Tier above the Tier you earned Status for.
    • Example: If you were given complimentary Gold Medallion Status, but earned Silver Medallion Status through the published requirements, you are not eligible for Elevate Your Status.
  • If you are a General SkyMiles Member, you must be within range to reach Silver Medallion Status by purchasing the maximum bundle of MQMs, MQSs and MQDs, in order to be eligible.
    • Example: If you have 12,000 MQMs, you will not be eligible because the maximum amount of MQMs that can be earned through Elevate Your Status to reach Silver Medallion Status is 12,500 and the MQMs requirement for Silver Medallion Status is 25,000.
  • If you are a Diamond Medallion Member, you are not eligible, because you have already reached the top Tier of Medallion Status.
