Delta SkyMiles Program

The Delta SkyMiles Program is their loyalty program for airline passengers. This program is divided into 5 categories: SkyMiles Member, SkyMiles Silver Medallion, SkyMiles Gold Medallion, SkyMiles Platinum Medallion, and SkyMiles Diamond Medallion. There is technically a 6th level, Delta 360, however that is invitation only.

Your status is calculated by the amount of MQMs(Medallion Qualifying Miles) or MQSs(Medallion Qualifying Segments) + the amount of MQDs(Medallion Qualifiying Dollars) or if you have an American Express Delta card, you are eligible for a waiver based on your spending. In general, the more you fly and spend with Delta, the greater your benefits will be! I personally am a Gold Medallion member and get upgraded about 75% of the time to Delta Comfort+ or First Class… As a 6’2″ individual I will gladly take the extra leg room! Here is a link to all of the benefits by Delta Medallion status.

American Express Delta Credit Cards

Delta Reserve

They are also offering a $200 statement credit after your first purchase from Delta within the same 3 month period.
