For Delta’s most dedicated customers, the 2025 Medallion Year brings fresh adventures, memorable experiences, and innovative ways to maximize your Medallion Status.  

Medallion Status stands out as one of the premier elite status programs in the U.S., aimed at rewarding you like never before. Whether you are a Silver Medallion planning that dreams vacation or a Diamond Medallion frequent traveller seeking to enhance your daily journeys, here are five resolutions for Members to maximize their loyalty this year.    

1. Show off Status with luxury, personalized metal bag tags 

Medallion Members now have the option to choose and customize upgraded metal bag tags – an ideal elite accessory to display while travelling globally. Existing Medallion Members can go to www.deltamedalliontags.co and sign in with their SkyMiles account to personalize their tags.  

2. Use the enhanced Fly Delta app to select coveted Choice Benefits  

Diamond and Platinum Medallion Members can now effortlessly choose their preferred Choice Benefits via the Fly Delta app. Members will still benefit this year from enhanced values on exclusive Choice Benefits, including bonus miles, Travel Vouchers, Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQD) Accelerators, gifting Status, Delta vacation experiences, and beyond.  

Did you know? More than 97% of Medallion Members use the Fly Delta app during their day of travel, and customers who use it report higher satisfaction with their overall travel experience.  

3. Earn miles with world-class partners like Starbucks and newcomer Uber 

SkyMiles Members now have access to almost 70 partners, including credit cards, airlines, and lifestyle brands, making earning and redeeming miles more straightforward. Members can earn miles on car rentals, hotel stays, cruises, and more. Additionally, they can accumulate miles toward Medallion Status and receive bonuses of up to 10K miles with each Delta Vacations trip. 

If you haven't heard, Uber is joining SkyMiles as a new partner this spring. Members will gain fresh opportunities to earn rewards on U.S. airport rides and deliveries via Uber Eats. Join the waitlist for a chance to reveal surprises and be among the first to receive news and updates. 

4. Take advantage of regular Member-only Award Deals 

Members can let their miles go the extra mile with early access to exclusive Award Deals – limited-time flash sales with some of the industry’s steepest discounts to favourite cities or new destinations waiting to be explored. Last year, customers purchased millions of award tickets for less than 25K miles. To ensure Members have the latest on upcoming sales, they should update their SkyMiles account and opt-in to receive emails or visit SkyMiles Award Deals on delta.com.   

Delta’s TakeOff 15 is an exciting benefit exclusively for Delta SkyMiles American Express Card Members. Card Members save an extra 15% when booking Award Travel with miles on Delta Flights when using delta.com or the Fly Delta app – anytime.

5. Enjoy more from your SkyMiles Membership     

2025 is the year SkyMiles Members will get even more from their loyalty – whether already enjoying Medallion Status or earning their way there.  

Discover the power of your long-term Loyalty 

As Delta intensifies its investment in premium experiences, Medallion Members will find more opportunities to earn MQDs through limited-time offers and improved Choice Benefit options, which feature some of the industry's most generous upgrade clearance windows. Additionally, beginning later this year, Members reaching Diamond Medallion status for the 2026 Medallion Year can look forward to earning Beyond Diamond Choice Benefits. More information will be provided soon to customers who attain Diamond Medallion Status for the 2026 Medallion Year. 

Not a Medallion Member yet? 

Make 2025 the year you earn Status. To track your MQDs and climb to Status, visit the SkyMiles section of the Fly Delta app. Delta’s Medallion Status Match program offers travellers loyal to another airline the chance to transfer their elite status to Delta – at no cost. Delta’s Reclaim My Status program also enables Members to re-earn Status when life gets in the way.

No Status? That is no problem. All SkyMiles members will receive immediate rewards for their loyalty. 

SkyMiles members don’t need to earn status to enjoy immediate benefits for their loyalty, and membership is free. Experience industry-leading perks such as fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi, a smarter, personalized entertainment experience on the Delta Sync seatback, and access to exclusive partner offers from brands that resonate, including YouTube coming this year. Plus, SkyMiles Experience is back – bringing members new and exclusive once-in-a-lifetime moments that money can’t buy, with fresh opportunities added every two weeks.   

Delta is diligently striving to provide value to SkyMiles Members this year—don’t miss out on benefits.
