Dear Dmitry,
We are deeply grateful for the feedback that we have received about our SkyMiles® Program and have been working to modify the program changes to better demonstrate our investment in you.
As Ed recently noted, there is nothing more important to us than ensuring that you are rewarded for your loyalty. As a result, we have made a number of updates as well as added new benefits to enhance your experience as a SkyMiles Member. |

Greater Flexibility for Delta Sky Club® AccessOur goal is to provide our customers with the best Delta Sky Club experience possible. We will offer Card Members with the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card and the U.S. Platinum Card® from American Express more options to access the Club. |
- Delta SkyMiles® Reserve and Reserve Business Card Members will now receive 15 days of Delta Sky Club access (i.e., “Visits”) per year, up from 10
- Card Members with the Platinum Card® and Business Platinum Card from American Express will now receive 10 days of Delta Sky Club access (i.e., “Visits”) per year, up from 6
- A Delta Sky Club Visit includes entries within a 24-hour period, including your departure city, connecting airports and arrival at your destination. If you are traveling on a same-day roundtrip, and use the Delta Sky Club for both your outbound and return flights, that would be included within the same Visit
- Card Members with a Delta SkyMiles® Reserve, Reserve Business, and Platinum Card® from American Express will also be able to purchase Club access for $50 per Visit after using all allotted Visits
- Delta SkyMiles® Reserve, Reserve Business, Platinum Card® and Business Platinum American Express Card Members will be able to earn Unlimited Delta Sky Club Access after spending $75,000 on an eligible Card in a calendar year. Unlimited Access would continue for the remainder of the current Medallion Year as well as the following Medallion Year. Card spend tracking begins on January 1, 2024 for the 2025 Medallion Year
- Unlimited Delta Sky Club Access under the current policy is available until February 1, 2025

New and Enhanced Choice BenefitsWe’re debuting several new 2025 Choice Benefits for Platinum and Diamond Medallion Members, including: |
|
- An individual or executive Delta Sky Club membership
- A head start of 2,000 MQDs toward the next Medallion Qualification Year

More Options for MQM Rollover BalancesWe have heard from many Members who had long-term plans for Rollover MQMs, and we are pleased to share more generous options for converting Rollover MQM balances beginning in early 2024. |
- Starting next year, you’ll have a choice of whether to put Rollover MQM balances toward a head start on MQDs (at a ratio of 10:1) or redeemable miles (at a ratio of 2:1)
- Customers who have Rollover MQM balances over 100,000 will receive special multi-year offers to extend their Status. Members can choose complimentary Medallion Status at their achieved Medallion tier for one year per every 100,000 MQMs. For example, if you are a Silver Medallion with 425,000 Rollover MQMs, you can select 4 years of extended Silver Medallion Status, and then choose to convert your remaining 25,000 Rollover MQM’s into MQDs or Miles
