Program Announcements

SkyMiles News & Updates

SkyMiles is constantly listening to Member feedback and making changes to improve our program. Important updates will be announced here.

Through February 29th, 2020, eligible Members that are close to achieving Diamond, Platinum, Gold or Silver Medallion Status for the 2020 Medallion Year can reach that next Medallion Tier by participating in Elevate Your Status.

Elevate Your Status allows Members to purchase a bundle of Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs), Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs) and Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs – U.S.-based Members only) in order to achieve the next Tier of Medallion Status.

All Tiers of Medallion Status include:

How Elevate Your Status works:

  • Members should know their current MQM, MQS and MQD balance before purchasing a bundle. If you need to check your balance, go to My SkyMiles or the SkyMiles section of the Fly Delta app.
  • Eligible Members can visit delta.com/elevateyourstatus and log in to participate.
  • Click “Purchase Now” to go through the easy steps to complete your transaction.
  • Once you’ve completed your transaction, the MQMs, MQSs and MQDs will be added to your 2019 balance and apply towards your 2020 Medallion Status within 24 hours. Please be sure to select a bundle that gives you enough MQMs, MQSs and MQDs to reach the next Tier of Status.

Who is eligible:

  • All Platinum, Gold and Silver Medallion Members are eligible for Elevate Your Status, unless they received complimentary Status for a Tier above the Tier they earned Status for. For example, if a Member is given complimentary Gold Medallion Status, but earned Silver Medallion Status through the published requirements, he or she is ineligible for Elevate Your Status.
  • General SkyMiles Members must be within range to reach Silver Medallion Status by purchasing the maximum bundle of MQMs, MQSs and MQDs, in order to be eligible to participate. For example, if a Member only has 12,000 MQMs, he or she will not be eligible because the maximum amount of MQMs that can be earned through Elevate Your Status is 12,500 and the MQMs requirement for Silver Medallion Status is 25,000.
  • As a reminder, Diamond Medallion Members are ineligible for Elevate Your Status because Diamond Medallion Members have already reached the highest Tier of Medallion Status.

If you still have travel planned for 2019 and you’re not sure which bundle of MQMs/MQSs you might need, don’t worry! This offer lasts until February 29, 2020, so you can wait to purchase your bundle until you know your 2019 balance.

Have additional questions about Elevate Your Status? Visit our Elevate Your Status FAQs page to learn more.

SkyMiles Members can now use their miles for Award Tickets in Basic Economy in the United States, Canada and select Latin America & the Caribbean flights where Basic Economy is already available for purchase with money. Basic Economy is a value-driven option for Members who require less flexibility when traveling. When you purchase Basic Economy, you will typically enjoy our lowest fare, but please keep in mind you will not be eligible for:

  • Advanced seat assignments
  • Paid or Complimentary Upgrades
  • Paid or Complimentary Preferred Seats
  • Voluntary changes (including same-day standby confirmed or same-day standby travel changes), cancellations or refunds outside of the 24-Hr Risk Free Cancellation period, regardless of Medallion® Status

Medallion Members will continue to enjoy their free baggage benefits and priority boarding based on their Medallion Tier. Eligible SkyMiles Credit Card Members will continue to enjoy their First Checked Bag Free benefits and Main Cabin 1 Priority Boarding.
