In an effort to encourage future travel and continued brand loyalty, Delta Air Lines extends Medallion Status, Club Memberships and more to support SkyMiles members’ future travel plans.
A few highlights include Medallion Members enjoying their current status through 2021, as well as other program and card benefits extending between six months and one year.
The 12–month extension is Delta’s response to many customers frustrations in shifted or canceled travel plans in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic — with Delta’s flexibility, customer’s status doesn’t have to be on the list of things to worry about at the moment.
“On behalf of all of us at Delta, I want to thank our customers for your continued loyalty during these unprecedented times. While our focus is on keeping customers and employees safe and healthy today and always, you are a part of the Delta family and we know how important these benefits are to you,” said Sandeep Dube, senior vice president – customer engagement and loyalty, and CEO, Delta Vacations, Delta Air Lines. “That’s why as coronavirus continues to dramatically impact travel across the globe, you don’t have to worry about your benefits – they’ll be extended so you can enjoy them when you are ready to travel again.”

Medallion Members:
- All Medallion Status for 2020 will be automatically extended for the 2021 Medallion Year.
- All Medallion Qualification Miles from 2020 will roll over to 2021 to qualify for 2022 Medallion Status.

Apr 17, 2024Amansara Review
It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
