Delta continues to innovate our SkyMiles Program based on customer feedback to remain the industry’s premier loyalty program.

Beginning January 1, 2024, we are changing the way SkyMiles Members qualify for Medallion Status to preserve the exclusivity and experience our most loyal customers and travelers look forward to and deserve.

These changes will simplify how to earn Status, offer new and enhanced ways to earn Status and preserve the premium experience for our SkyMiles and Medallion Members.

Simpler Status Tracking: Beginning January 1, 2024, all SkyMiles Members, including members living outside the US, will earn toward Status through only MQDs.  SkyMiles Members will no longer earn Medallion Qualifying Miles (MQMs) or Medallion Qualifying Segments (MQSs).  Customers won’t lose any Rollover MQMs accrued — starting early 2024, Members can choose to convert Rollover MQMs to MQDs or miles (or a combination of both).  All currencies convert to USD at the standard exchange rate at the time of ticketing and/or purchase and will then convert from $1 USD to $1 MQD (excluding amounts for taxes and government-imposed fees).

More ways to earn Status: With these changes to the SkyMiles Program, Members can now earn Status through purchases on eligible car rentals and stays booked on delta.com, in addition to Delta and partner flights. Earn by spending how and when you want, with Delta and our partners.  

Delta remains committed to our agency partners and have heard feedback for a simplified earning structure for our SkyMiles Program. These changes will allow us to continue to reward top travelers and ensure the best possible experience on both business and leisure trips. Delta continues to be committed to supporting travel policies and maximizing value for our mutual customers.
