Delta has significantly increased the elite-qualifying miles earned on various flights, making it much easier to earn elite status in 2022. Flights now earn 50%+ more elite-qualifying credit, and even award tickets can now earn elite-qualifying miles as well. Note that these are only miles that count toward earning status, not redeemable miles you can use to book flights. Details below:
- At least 50% more Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) , Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs) and Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) on Delta flights. This includes Pay with Miles tickets and flights booked as a part of a Delta Vacations® package, so experiencing the Medallion Difference is that much closer to reach.
- And special for this year, that 50% more extends to Award Travel, inclusive of Miles + Cash tickets - making those Award trips even more rewarding.
- Plus, an additional 25% - or 75% total – on all premium cabins (Delta One®, Delta Premium Select, First Class and Delta Comfort+®) and upgrades purchased after initial ticket purchase (cash or miles) .
- Note: For April 1-May 15, 2021 travel, bonus MQMs, MQSs and MQDs will be retroactively credited to your account by May 31, 2021. If you don’t see them immediately after your flight during this time period, know they’ll be credited soon. Bonuses are only applicable to earning Medallion Status, redeemable miles on Delta flights remain the same.
