Prohibited Actions


 

Restrictions on Transfer

 

Miles are not the property of any Member. Except as specifically authorized in the Membership Guide and Program Rules or otherwise in writing by an officer of Delta, miles may not be sold, attached, seized, levied upon, pledged, or transferred under any circumstances, including, without limitation, by operation of law, upon death, or in connection with any domestic relations dispute and/or legal proceeding.

 

Sale or Barter Prohibited

 

Except as set forth below, the sale or barter of miles, vouchers, Award Tickets, upgrade certificates, Medallion Status, Medallion benefits, or any other benefit by SkyMiles Members, or the attempt of any of the foregoing, is prohibited. Delta will terminate or deduct mileage from the account of any Member who violates this rule either by attempting to transfer or receive, or actually transferring, facilitating or receiving such benefits. Award Tickets, upgrade certificates, Medallion Status, or Medallion benefits obtained through prohibited sale or barter transactions are VOID, invalid for travel, and will be confiscated. Persons trying to use such tickets and/or benefits will not be permitted to travel unless they purchase a new ticket from Delta at the applicable fare. Delta reserves the right to assess the fair market value of any of the foregoing tickets and/or benefits from the SkyMiles Member initiating or facilitating the prohibited transaction.

SkyMiles Members may participate in mileage transfer transactions within the SkyMiles Transfer Miles Program. All transactions are subject to the terms and conditions of the SkyMiles Transfer Miles Program. Mileage transfer fees and terms and condition apply. Please visit delta.com/transfermiles to review these rules.

Audit

Delta reserves the right to audit Members’ accounts at any time and without notice to ensure compliance with the SkyMiles Membership Guide and Program Rules, Delta’s contract of carriage, Delta’s fare rules, and all other applicable Delta rules and regulations (including individual offers, benefits, and partner programs).

In the event the audit reveals discrepancies or violations, Delta may (i) delay the processing of miles, MQDs, Medallion Status, Award Tickets, or other redemptions, (ii) decline to award and/or cancel any of the foregoing, and/or (iii) suspend benefit and account access until the discrepancies or violations are resolved. Accounts found in violation are subject to penalty, up to and including revocation of awarded miles, MQDs, and other benefits in connection with such violations, termination of Medallion Status, and closure of the SkyMiles account. During an investigation, Delta may inhibit access to the SkyMiles account of a Member without notice. While the account is inhibited, Delta may permit the Member to accrue miles and MQDs in the account, but no mileage redemptions or other transactions will be permitted and any outstanding Award Travel, upgrade certificates, or other redemptions will be canceled. Canceled Award Tickets or upgrade certificates must be surrendered to Delta upon Delta’s request.

 

Termination and/or Mileage Deduction for Violations

 

Delta reserves the right to terminate a Member’s membership in the SkyMiles program (including Medallion Status, Million Miler qualification including any complimentary annual Medallion Status associated with the Million Miler qualification, and invitation or participation in the 360 Program) at any time if a Member violates the SkyMiles Membership Guide and Program Rules (including, for the avoidance of doubt, on the basis of documented abusive behavior), any term or condition of Delta’s contract of carriage, Delta’s fare rules, or any other Delta rule and regulation that apply to the Member’s travel (including individual offers, benefits, and partner programs). If a SkyMiles Member has Medallion Status, a 360 Program invitation, or SkyMiles membership terminated or revoked at any time, Delta reserves the right to refuse or discontinue annual Medallion Status and/or invitations to the 360 Program offered as part of the Million Miler Program benefits. Delta reserves the right to revoke or declined to offer annual Medallion Status or 360 Program invitations for abusive behavior or for any violation of its policies, the Program Rules, or ticketing rules.  Termination of a Member’s membership will result in a loss of all accumulated mileage credit in such Member’s account, the cancellation of any unused Award Tickets or upgrade certificates, and the loss of all other SkyMiles benefits. Terminated Members are not eligible to participate in any aspect of the SkyMiles program, including without limitation any special promotions or SkyMiles partnership offers. In lieu of termination, Delta may at its sole discretion deduct mileage from the Member’s account but permit the Member to continue participating in the SkyMiles program. Members whose accounts have been terminated for any reason may not reopen new accounts.

Mileage Accrual and Redemption

Basic Economy tickets are not eligible to earn miles in the SkyMiles Program or earn MQDs towards Medallion Status.
  • For flights marketed or ticketed by Delta and purchased in a currency other than USD, the base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges will be converted to USD based on the IATA 5-day currency exchange rate at the time of ticketing. 
  • Miles earned per segment will be calculated based on a pro-rated amount of the total ticket price eligible for mileage accrual and will not be subject to minimum mileage accrual.
  • Flights marketed by Delta’s partner airlines (excluding those issued on 006 ticket stock) earn miles based on a percentage of distance flown as determined by the fare class paid as published at Airline Partners at the time of travel. Some partners will continue to earn based on both marketing and ticketing carrier.
  • For itineraries ticketed by Delta’s partner airlines that contain both partner-marketed segments and Delta-marketed segments, the partner-marketed segments will earn miles and MQDs based on the distance flown* and fare class paid as published at Airline Partners at the time of travel, and the Delta-marketed segments will earn miles and MQDs based on the total base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges prorated as a percentage of total distance flown.
  • Certain specialty tickets (also referred to as “exception” or “unpublished” fares), including but not limited to bulk, consolidator, cruise, vacation packages (excluding Delta Vacations® packages as of 1/1/24), inclusive tour and other opaque fare products will earn miles and MQDs based on a percentage of distance flown* determined by fare class paid as published at Exception Fares at the time of travel.

  • Tickets purchased to carry excess baggage such as musical instruments and pets or to provide extra space for the primary passenger.

Betalen met miles

Pay with Miles is a mileage redemption option that allows Members to pay for eligible tickets with miles, money or a combination of both. This option is an exclusive benefit for SkyMiles Members with an eligible Delta SkyMiles American Express Card. In some instances, Award Tickets may require fewer miles. Members are prohibited from selling or bartering tickets purchased with the Pay with Miles benefit. Open jaw, routing, stopover and ticket validity rules for Pay with Miles tickets are determined by the fare rules of the ticket purchased. Pay with Miles redemptions can only be made when booking a trip on delta.com. Pay with Miles redemption levels and thresholds are subject to change without notice. Visit Pay with Miles for current redemption options and complete terms and conditions.

Upgrade with Miles

Members can use their miles to pay the difference in a Main Cabin fare and a premium cabin fare for eligible flights within the U.S. 50.

Eligibility

Upgrade with Miles tickets are eligible on select Delta and Delta Connection® carrier flights booked under the DL code at delta.com, the Fly Delta app, or Delta Reservations.

In addition to the miles and MQDs the Member will earn on the base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges of the original fare, Members who upgrade with Miles are also eligible to earn MQDs on the miles applied to the upgrade, calculated by dividing the total miles used for the upgrade divided by 100.

Beperkingen

Redemption requirements may differ based on fare. The amount of miles that can be used on an Upgrade with Miles ticket is based on the SkyMiles Member's account balance. Any miles used will be automatically and permanently deducted from the Member's SkyMiles account at the time of the redemption. For reservations that include multiple passengers, only one SkyMiles account may be used to redeem for an Upgrade with Miles ticket. Upgrade with Miles applies to all passengers in the reservation. Not combinable with certificates, eCredits, vouchers, or with any other discounts. Mileage credit will be earned based on the cash amount of the ticket purchased (base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges remaining and paid in currency after miles are applied to the ticket total). All Upgrade with Miles are subject to availability, and additional taxes and fees may apply. All fare rules, restrictions, advance purchase requirements, and availability are per rules of the upgraded ticket purchased.

Refunds/Reissues

Except for tickets refunded under Delta's Risk Free Cancellation policy, miles redeemed for Upgrade with Miles tickets cannot be re-deposited in the Member's SkyMiles Account — even for fully refundable fares. If a ticket is reissued after using Upgrade with Miles and the reissued ticket, less applicable fees, costs less than the original ticket, then the difference between the original price of the ticket purchased using Upgrade with Miles and the reissued ticket price will issued as a nonrefundable eCredit valid for future travel. eCredit will be valid for 1 year from original Upgrade with Miles ticket issue date. If a Member changes his or her unused Upgrade with Miles ticket, then the Upgrade with Miles terms and conditions will apply to the new ticket.

In the event of a refund (including fully refundable fares) only the paid portion of a refundable fare will be credited back to the credit card, and the Upgrade with Miles portion of the fare will be returned as non-refundable eCredit equivalent to the dollar value of the portion of the ticket redeemed with Upgrade with Miles. eCredit may be used to purchase future travel and Upgrade with Miles terms and conditions will not apply to such tickets. For non-refundable tickets, all fare rules apply.

In the event of a valid ticket cancellation under Delta's Risk Free Cancellation policy, Upgrade with Miles portion of the fare that was paid in miles will be redeposited into the Member's SkyMiles account and the paid portion of the fare will be credited back to the credit card.

Medallion Program


Medallion Status Qualification

Medallion Status Exceptions for U.S. Military Members

Members of the United States Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard who were not able to use their Medallion Status or did not requalify for Medallion Status as a result of their deployment are eligible for a one-time Medallion Status extension. Upon return from deployment, military members are eligible to extend their Medallion Status for one additional Medallion year upon providing a copy of their deployment orders. For example, if the extension was granted anytime in 2023, the Member’s Medallion Status will be maintained until the end of the 2024 Medallion Year on januari 31, 2025. If the extension is granted anytime in 2024, the Member’S Medallion Status will be maintained until the end of the 2025 Medallion Year on januari 31, 2026. The Medallion Status request can be submitted once the military member returns home from deployment. Requests may not be made before or during deployment.

Any deployment will qualify, regardless of length, as long as it takes place during the time they have Medallion Status. Members do not currently need to be on active duty to request an exception. Reserve members are eligible.

To submit a request:

  1. Fill out the Reclaim My Status form
  2. In the "Reason for Losing Status" field, select "Other"
  3. In the open response field, please indicate that Medallion Status was lost due to military service

Rollover MQM Conversion

As of januari 01,2024, SkyMiles members will no longer earn Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs). MQMs and MQSs will not be calculated or used to determine Medallion Status qualification. Beginning Feb 28, 2024, SkyMiles members possessing a Rollover MQM balance after qualification for 2024 Medallion Status will have the option to convert their final Rollover MQM balance (earned up to december 31, 2023, at 11:59:59 PM CST) into miles, MQDs, or, for Rollover MQM balances of 100.000 MQMs and higher, into Medallion Status extensions (or a combination of all, if applicable).

If miles are selected, the Rollover MQM balance will be converted at a ratio of 1 mile per 2 MQMs. If MQDs are selected, the Rollover MQM balance will be converted at a ratio of 1 MQD per 10 MQMs. SkyMiles members can split their Rollover MQM balance conversion between miles and MQDs based on 25% increments, and subject to the conversion ratios in the previous sentence. For example, a SkyMiles member can elect to convert 25% of their Rollover MQM balance into miles and the remainder 75% into MQDs.

SkyMiles Members with a Rollover MQM balance at or greater than 100.000 MQMs also have the option to extend their earned 2024 Medallion Status using their Rollover MQMS at a rate of 100.000 MQMs per one year of Status extension. Using the 100.000:1 ratio, Members may select the number of years of Status extension they desire, up to the number for which they are eligible. Medallion Status will not be awarded for partial years; any Rollover MQMs exceeding a 100.000 threshold, and which are not used for Status extension, can be converted into miles or MQDs using the applicable conversion rate above. For example, a SkyMiles Member that has 550,00 Rollover MQMs and who has earned Diamond Medallion Status for the 2024 Medallion Qualification Year is eligible to extend their Diamond Medallion Status for up to 5 years (500.000 Rollover MQMs) and can elect to convert the remaining 50.000 Rollover MQMs into miles, MQDs, or a combination of both at the conversion rates above.

If a SkyMiles member does not make a selection by december 31, 2024 11:59:59 PM CST, all Rollover MQMs will automatically be converted to MQDs. Members will be able to select their conversion preference until the selection window closes on december 31, 2024 11:59:59 PM CST. Miles/MQDs and Medallion Status extension are nontransferable and can only be credited to the SkyMiles member’s account who was in possession of the Rollover MQMs. Selections are final, irrevocable, and not changeable.
