Go Beyond the Flight with Delta Vacations and discover how to earn even more toward your Medallion Status on your vacation package. Plus, earn up to 10,000 bonus miles, in addition to flight miles, on every getaway.
Here’s a breakdown of how you will earn MQDs:
- All passengers in your booking will earn MQDs for the flight portion of the package based on Exception Fares.
- In addition to the MQDs earned on the flight portion of the package, as the primary passenger who books the package you will also receive MQDs on nonflight portions of the package, such as hotels, rides, cars, and activities. The amount of MQDs you earn for this nonflight portion equals the difference between the Total Package Price and the combined MQDs awarded to all passengers for the flight portion.
How To Earn Bonus Miles
You can earn up to 10,000 bonus miles per person on every vacation experience you book on top of the miles you earn for your flight.

How To Earn Miles On Your Flight
When you vacation with us, you'll earn at least what you would normally earn on your Delta flight, just slightly different because you are booking a package. For your flight, you'll earn miles one of two ways: miles when you fly or miles when you fly with exception fares. Whichever of these two ways is the greater amount for your trip, you will earn that with Delta Vacations.

Earn Toward Medallion Status with Delta Vacations Terms and Conditions
- SkyMiles Members will earn one (1) Medallion Qualifying Dollar (MQD) per US$1 (or equivalent foreign currency) of the Total Package Price for every completed Delta Vacations package when booked with Delta Vacations online, via our vacation experts, or through an authorized third-party agency. “Total Package Price” means the total value of the package in USD or equivalent foreign currency spent on Eligible Flights, base hotel rental rate, base car rental rate, car transfer rate, cost of activities booked, but excluding taxes, fees, insurance, room service, other booking charges, amounts paid directly to the hotel, car or activity provider, or any element of the booking which is paid or reduced by vouchers or discount codes. “Eligible Flights” means Delta-marketed flights in Main Cabin or above (flight numbers that include the “DL” airline code), flights marketed by Core Global Airline Partners that have a Delta ticket number (ticket number beginning with “006”) and SkyTeam-marketed flights operated by a SkyTeam member airline that have a Delta ticket number (ticket number beginning with “006”), in each case which is booked through Delta Vacations direct via our Customer Engagement Center, or through an authorized travel advisor. Eligible Flights expressly excludes flights marketed by airlines that are not Delta Core Global Airline partners or SkyTeam members. Qualifying car rental bookings include rentals at a participating location for one or more days at rates other than travel industry rates or discounts, wholesale of tour package rates or discounts, wholesale tour package rates, insurance/dealer replacement rates, corporate and government rates, group travel discounts, or rentals in conjunction with a frequent flyer car award, or other corporate agreements applicable to the respective car company.
- SkyMiles Members will be awarded the MQDs as follows:
- All passengers listed in the Delta Vacations booking will earn on the flight portion of the package based on the following:
- Flight Option #1: If the sum of all passengers’ Exception Fares is greater than or equal to the Total Package Price, then the number of flight MQDs earned by each passenger = (Total Package Price / total # of passengers on the booking itinerary)
- Flight Option #2: If the sum of all passengers’ Exception Fares is less than the Total Package Price, then the number of flight MQDs earned by each passenger = MQD’s for such passenger’s flight calculated using the Exception Fare policy.
- All passengers listed in the Delta Vacations booking will earn on the flight portion of the package based on the following:
- In addition to the MQDs earned on the flight component (if applicable), the passenger who books the package will earn MQDs on the nonflight portion of the Total Package Price based on the following:
- If the flight MQDs for all passengers were calculated using flight option 1 above: No additional nonflight MQDs earned.
- If the flight MQDs for all passengers were calculated using flight option 2 above: The number of additional nonflight MQDs earned by the lead booker = Total Package Price – (sum of all passengers’ Exception Fares).
- If no flight is attached to the booking, only the lead booker earns nonflight MQDs equivalent to the Total Package Price.
- This calculation does not apply to packages of 8 people or more (“Group Packages”). On Group Packages, each passenger will only be eligible to earn MQDs on the flight portion of the package using the Exception Fares policy.
- Generally, posting of MQDs and miles to a SkyMiles Member’s account depends on when Delta receives information related to the qualifying purchase. For Delta Vacations miles and MQDs, please allow up to 8 weeks after completion of a Delta-marketed flight for flight miles and MQDs to be deposited in SkyMiles account and 8 weeks after completion of eligible car rental or hotel stay for miles and MQDs to be deposited in SkyMiles account. No MQDs will be awarded for any portion of the package not consumed by the passengers in the booking.
