Delta SkyMiles Elevated Status Match Through October 31, 2020

Today, Delta Air Lines launched an elevated limited-time status match campaign for tier members from competing US airlines.

You can get equal or higher Medallion status with Delta through March 31, 2021, and a fast track offer to keep it until January 31, 2022.

Status match offers were prevalent in the past but became quite rare during the good years. Now they have all returned.

It helps members who have been contemplating switching programs to check the competitor’s product out, but which could be difficult without having a status first.

Eligibility: Only Members who receive this communication directly from Delta Air Lines are eligible to participate in this offer. This offer is non-transferable. SkyMiles Members must first submit online for participation in the offer by October 31st, 2020 (ending 11:59:59 PM, U.S. PST on 10/31/2020). Promotional registration is required before complimentary Medallion Status will be rewarded. Members must have current, elite status with a qualifying airline that was earned through that airline’s published requirements. Qualifying airlines include Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, jetBlue, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines.

Qualifying Activity: Offer valid for travel completed on or before March 31, 2021. Flights booked prior to enrollment and flown on or before March 31, 2021 will be included. Promotional or temporary elite status on other airlines will not be eligible for this promotion. Elevated Matched Status will expire on March 31, 2021, unless that level or a lower level of Medallion Status is awarded through the promotion prior to that date. Medallion Status must be earned in subsequent years by traveling the required amount of MQMs or MQSs and spending the required MQDs (U.S.-based members only) or earning the MQD Waiver. Flights that are marketed (flight number starts with ‘DL’) or operated by Delta and Delta Connection, including flights purchased with Delta eCredits, will count towards the challenge. Flights that are both marketed and operated by SkyMiles Partner Airlines, Award Tickets, Basic Economy/E fare class, and promotional (including complimentary, barter, or opaque) tickets do not qualify for this offer and will not count toward the challenge.

Medallion® Status Offer: If you meet the criteria to participate by providing valid elite status credentials from a qualifying airline, you will receive: complimentary Status that is one Tier higher than Delta’s standard Status Match through March 31, 2021. The complimentary Medallion Status is effective the day following your approval.  Members must complete the qualifying activity to extend Medallion Status through the 2021 Medallion Year, ending on January 31, 2022. Extended Medallion Status is effective the day following the completion of qualifying flight activity. Your complimentary Medallion Status will return to the applicable Status you qualified for during the Medallion year after your complimentary Status ends. Medallion Status must be earned in subsequent years by traveling the required Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) or Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs) and, for U.S. residents, spending the required Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs). You may enjoy Medallion benefits on all Delta or Delta Connection flights regardless of ticketing source, however only Qualifying Activity will be considered for qualification.
