SkyMiles Diamond Medallion Status
Alles over Medallion-status
Discover Diamond Medallion Benefits
The highest Medallion Tier is unmatched by any airline. Diamond offers exclusive benefits including the highest Complimentary Upgrade priority and Premium Boarding, but also benefits that only Delta offers like a complimentary CLEAR® membership to ease through airport security, customizable Choice Benefits with Delta Sky Club® access, Rollover MQMs and more.
Choice Benefits – a Delta Exclusive
As a Diamond Medallion Member, you get to select exclusive Choice Benefits, a loyalty program feature that only Delta provides. Choice Benefits enable you to customize additional benefits by what matters most to you. Pick from:
- Delta Sky Club® Membership Options
- Global & Regional Upgrade Certificates
- Gift Gold Medallion Status to a friend or family member
- 25.000 bonus miles for yourself, someone else, or a SkyWish charity of your choice
- A $200 Delta travel voucher

With Diamond, You Earn More
As you travel with Diamond Medallion Status, you’ll earn even more miles. Plus, the Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) you earn above your Medallion Tier qualification threshold will roll over to the next qualification year to give you a jump start on earning Status again – this is known as “Rollover MQMs.”
- 11 miles per dollar*(1)
- Unlimited Rollover MQMs
Here’s an example of how Rollover MQMs work: You reach Diamond Medallion Status for 2019 by earning 150.000 MQMs and $15.000 MQDs during the 2018 calendar year. You only needed 125.000 MQMs to reach Diamond. With Rollover MQMs, you’ll be able to rollover the 25.000 MQMs you earned above and beyond the Diamond requirement, to your next year’s balance giving you a head start toward earning Status again for 2020. We’ll automatically rollover your MQMs by the end of January each year.
The Rollover MQMs benefit is exclusive to Delta, and only for our Medallion Members.
