Delta SkyMiles® Members bring loyalty to life in countless ways – from bleisure trips and long-awaited adventures to everyday moments like riding with Uber or ordering from Starbucks.

As the 2026 Medallion Year kicks off, Delta is rewarding all these moments – making it easy to earn, enjoy and love being a SkyMiles Member wherever life moves you.  

Plus, with app-first tools that help you stay connected to your progress towards Status, access to elevated experiences both in the air and on the ground, and thoughtful touches that recognize your loyalty throughout the year, Delta continues to invest in ways that make your loyalty tangible.   

“Loyalty is about the feeling you take with you after an experience with Delta,” said Dwight James, S.V.P – Customer Engagement & Loyalty for Delta Air Lines, and CEO – Delta Vacations. “As we begin the new Medallion Year, our focus is on creating more of those moments of care and connection – no matter where you are in your Medallion journey – while continuing to invest in the program our Members love.”
