Delta Air Lines elite travelers face a crucial deadline to decide on converting their rollover Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) from the previous year. The deadline for making this decision is December 31, after which any unconverted MQMs will automatically be converted into Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs).
Delta Air Lines implemented significant changes last year affecting Medallion status, its cobranded credit card portfolio, and access to the Delta Sky Club. Now, only spending with the airline through MQDs determines qualification in 2024.
Previously, Delta allowed excess MQMs to roll over to the next elite status qualification year. However, this option ended as MQDs are now the sole metric for qualification.
