Delta SkyMiles: Join for Free

> SkyMiles is Delta Airlines' free loyalty program. By adding your SkyMiles number to your flight bookings, you earn redeemable miles (or award miles) and Medallion Qualifying Dollars (MQDs), which help you achieve elite status.

Earning SkyMiles

You can earn SkyMiles through

Delta flight tickets
Delta-branded credit card purchases
Partner companies like Hertz for car rentals
Shopping and dining through a designated portal
Passengers with elite status earn more miles per dollar spent. However, be cautious—redemption rates can be high, especially for business-class tickets.

Achieving Elite Status

Medallion status offers perks such as free checked bags and upgrades. To qualify, you must earn a set number of MQDs through flights or credit card spending.

Delta Credit Cards

Delta partners with American Express to offer four credit cards, each with unique benefits:

Complimentary upgrades on domestic flights
Access to Delta Sky Club lounges
Free checked bags

Before signing up, compare the benefits of each card to its annual fee. Sometimes, a general travel card may provide better value if you're not a frequent Delta flyer.
