Earn Toward Medallion Status with Delta Vacations Terms and Conditions
- SkyMiles number must be added to the Delta Vacations booking to receive flight miles and MQDs.
- For vacation packages that include a flight component, the SkyMiles member will earn miles on their flight one of two ways based on their trip at time of booking: (1) "Miles when you fly" or (2) “Miles when you fly with exception fares", as determined at the time of booking. The “Miles when you fly” calculation will assume the SkyMiles member earns 5 miles for each $1 spent on the flight ticket (excluding taxes and government-imposed fees) for Delta-marketed flights (flight numbers that include the “DL” airline code). For identified Medallion Members, the calculation will reflect the mileage multiplier associated with their Status level (i.e., up to 11 miles for Diamond Medallion Members). For purposes of this calculation, Delta Vacations will assume the value of the flight ticket will be equal to the retail value at the time of booking of the same ticket with the same flight number, date, cabin, fare class, fare basis code, and ticket price provided that a portion of this information may only be available to Delta Vacations and not the SkyMiles member. The "Miles when you fly with exception fares" calculation will assume the SkyMiles Member earns miles on exception fares based on a percentage of the distance flown on the selected flight and the fare class. Additional information on how to calculate “Miles when you fly with exception fares" can be found at https://www.delta.com/us/en/skymiles/how-to-earn-miles/exception-fares. The Member will receive the greater of "Miles when you fly" or "Miles when you fly with exception fares" at the time of booking, as determined by Delta Vacations in its sole discretion, plus an additional 100 miles.
- 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, 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 non-flight 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 non-flight MQDs earned.
- If the flight MQDs for all passengers were calculated using flight option 2 above: The number of additional non-flight 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 non-flight 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.
