SkyMiles

There are more ways than ever to start enjoying immediate benefits for being a Delta SkyMiles® Member, and more opportunities to unlock Delta’s coveted Medallion® Status. 

Delta is consistently recognized for excellence in customer experience, operational performance and workplace culture. 

The 2025 Medallion Year kicked off Feb. 1, 2025 and runs through Jan. 31, 2026 – bringing with it opportunities for SkyMiles Medallion Members to maximize their Status. From customizable new bag tags to exclusive rewards and experiences, Delta’s loyalty program continues to deliver value to Members. 

We asked our most frequent flier how he uses his miles, what tips and tricks he’s picked up and what he’s looking forward to ahead of Delta’s centennial year.

Delta is the first U.S. airline to provide a dedicated program for all business travelers — regardless of their company’s size or relationship with Delta.  

Beginning Nov. 14, the Window Seat Shop is open to customers traveling through John F. Kennedy International Airport’s Terminal 4 and online at delta.com/windowseatshop.

Delta will adjust the number of Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) required to achieve 2025 Medallion Status, further enhance the Million Miler program, update Delta Sky Club access policies for eligible Card Members and enhance options for Rollover Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs).
A NOTE FROM ED: Thank you for your feedback on the SkyMiles Program

Delta is simplifying its SkyMiles Program, with Medallion Qualification Dollars serving as the only qualifier for Medallion Status. Here are several things you should remember about the program and what changes for you.

Delta’s award-winning SkyMiles Program will use MQDs as the single qualifier toward Medallion Status and offer new and enhanced ways to earn Status – both on the ground and in the air. The airline will also make changes to Delta Sky Club access for some American Express Card Members.

Delta SkyMiles® Members can now get even more out of a dream trip with Delta Vacations, thanks to major program enhancements that begin Monday.

Delta SkyMiles and Starbucks Rewards members can link accounts to earn one mile per $1 spent at Starbucks and double Stars on days traveling on Delta.
