Get to Know Medallion Status

Million Miler™ Status

Million Miler Status is an impressive achievement and one of our most elite milestones, reserved for customers who have truly flown millions of miles with us and our partner airlines.

As a Million Miler, enjoy annual complimentary Medallion Status, a higher priority position for Complimentary Upgrades and special bag tags. Once you achieve Million Miler Status, you will get to select personalized tags* to commemorate your Status. You’re also invited to select from a curated selection of gifts from the Million Miler Gift Site each time you hit a million miles. Details regarding your Million Miler bag tags and gift will be sent to the email in your SkyMiles account. Please ensure your contact information is up to date.

*Please note that failure to opt-in and select a bag tag before the end of the Medallion Year will result in no bag tag being mailed to you.

Million Miler Status is based on flight miles flown (inclusive of Award Travel and qualifying flights on our partner airlines – but excluding Basic Economy and similar Economy Light fares) over a Member’s lifetime. Members who have accumulated at least 1 million flight miles will be invited to our Million Miler program.
Members can view the total number of accumulated flight miles flown in their SkyMiles account. This number is located on the right-hand side of the My SkyMiles page and within the Fly Delta app.
Within 24 hours of achieving a new Million Miler tier, Members will receive a celebratory welcome email to the address listed on the Member’s SkyMiles account. The email will include the link to our Million Miler gift site and to our Medallion and Million Miler bag tags site. Complimentary annual Status will be processed alongside this email.
The gift selection window will remain open for 90 days after each new Million Miler milestone. If you do not select your gift within the selection window, we will send a pre-selected gift to the mailing address on your SkyMiles account, as a token of our appreciation.
Annual complimentary Medallion Status and benefits are valid during the Medallion Year (February 1 – January 31). Diamond and Platinum Medallion Members will receive their Choice Benefits annually at the start of the Medallion Year (starting February 1). You will only receive the Medallion Status and benefits associated with your Million Miler Status. For example, if you receive annual complimentary Diamond Medallion Status, you will not receive Choice Benefits associated with Platinum Medallion Status.

Million Miler Status is based on total flight miles flown over a Member’s lifetime (Lifetime Flight Miles). Million Miler Status will be earned via flight miles flown (excluding Basic Economy fares) and added to your total Million Miler balance.

Annual complimentary Medallion Status is valid from beginning to end of the Medallion Status year (currently February 1 to January 31), and benefits associated with complimentary Status are awarded annually. Members that have reached the 5 Million Miler milestone will receive an annual complimentary invitation for Delta 360° Membership. The benefits associated with Delta 360° Membership are awarded on an annual basis. 

Million Miler Medallion Status is for the earning Medallion Member and cannot be gifted or transferred to another Member. Complimentary Status is unrelated to MQDs earned in a given Medallion Year, and Members do not receive MQDs because of their complimentary Status. Members who receive complimentary Medallion Status in connection with Million Miler benefits, and who also simultaneously earn the same level of complimentary Status or higher through the published Status requirements will be awarded the higher of either the Medallion Tier they earned through published requirements or the complimentary Status. Members who receive complimentary Medallion Status in connection with Million Miler will receive the respective Medallion benefits associated with the complimentary tier of Status but will not receive benefits associated with lower Medallion tiers unless they earned those Medallion tiers through the published requirements.

*Basic Economy tickets are not eligible to earn miles in the SkyMiles Program, earn credit toward Medallion Status, or earn credit toward Million Miler Status.

Gifts will be mailed to the address in your SkyMiles account, and details regarding your Million Miler gift, bag tags and welcome kit will be sent to the email listed in your SkyMiles account. Please ensure your contact information is up to date. Delta is not responsible for any gifts and/or bag tags mailed to an outdated address.
