Delta Medallion Year: Show Off Your Status with New Bag Tags

The 2025 Medallion Year kicked off Feb. 1, 2025 and runs through Jan. 31, 2026 – bringing with it opportunities for SkyMiles Medallion Members to maximize their Status. From customizable new bag tags to exclusive rewards and experiences, Delta’s loyalty program continues to deliver value to Members. 

3… 2… 1… Happy New Medallion Year! 

For Delta’s most loyal customers, the 2025 Medallion Year means new adventures, new memories and new ways to make the most of your Medallion Status.  

As one of the most valuable elite status programs in the U.S., Medallion Status is designed to reward you more than ever. Whether a Silver Medallion checking off that bucket-list trip or a Diamond Medallion road warrior simply looking for ways to make everyday travel even more enjoyable, here are five resolutions to help Members make the most of their loyalty this year.    

1. Show off Status with luxury, personalized metal bag tags 

Medallion Members can now select and personalize new, enhanced metal bag tags – the perfect elite accessory to show off as they travel the world. Medallion Members can visit www.deltamedalliontags.com and log in with their SkyMiles account to personalize theirs.  

2. Use the enhanced Fly Delta app to select coveted Choice Benefits  

Diamond and Platinum Medallion Members can now select the Choice Benefits that matter most to them seamlessly through the Fly Delta app. This year, Members will continue to enjoy increased values on most exclusive Choice Benefits – including bonus miles, Travel Vouchers, Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQD) Accelerators, gifting Status, Delta Vacations experiences and more.  

3. Earn miles with world-class partners like Starbucks and newcomer Uber 

With access to nearly 70 different partners across credit cards, airlines, lifestyle brands and more, SkyMiles Members can earn and redeem miles easier than ever before. That means car rentals, hotel stays, cruises, and so much more can earn miles. Plus, Members can earn toward Medallion Status and receive up to 10K bonus miles on every Delta Vacations getaway. Terms apply.

4. Take advantage of regular Member-only Award Deals 

Members can let their miles go the extra mile with early access to exclusive Award Deals – limited-time flash sales with some of the industry’s steepest discounts to favorite cities or new destinations just waiting to be explored.

Last year, customers purchased millions of award tickets for less than 25K miles. To ensure Members have the latest on upcoming sales, they should update their SkyMiles account and opt in to receive emails, or visit SkyMiles Award Deals on delta.com.   

5. Enjoy more from your SkyMiles Membership     

2025 is the year SkyMiles Members will get even more from their loyalty – whether already enjoying Medallion Status or earning their way there.  

Discover the power of your long-term loyalty 

With Delta continuing to invest in more premium experiences than ever, Medallion Members can continue to enjoy more ways to earn MQDs with limited-time offers, enhanced Choice Benefit offerings, among the most generous upgrade clearance windows in the industry and more.

Plus, starting later this year, Members who achieve Diamond Medallion status for the 2026 Medallion Year will have the opportunity to earn Beyond Diamond Choice Benefits. More details will be shared soon with customers who earn Diamond Medallion Status for the 2026 Medallion Year.
