Delta Air Lines has announced that several benefits for its elite status customers and credit card holders are now available. Customers can expect to see Delta Choice Benefits, Medallion Qualification Dollar (MQD) status boosts, Delta Sky Club guest passes, and a new club visit tracker in their accounts.

The ability to select Delta Choice Benefits is now active after a short delay. Options include upgrade certificates, bonus Delta SkyMiles, a $700 Delta American Express statement credit, a $350 travel voucher, and a 2,000 MQD boost. Those who achieved Platinum or Diamond Medallion status in the 2025 Medallion year have until January 31, 2026, to choose their benefits. These selections can be made via the Fly Delta app or on the website.

"Effective February 1, 2025: Delta SkyMiles Reserve Basic Card Members will be issued four One-Time Guest Passes for complimentary access to the Delta Sky Club or usage of the Delta Sky Club 'Grab and Go' feature within 6 to 8 weeks after Account opening," stated Delta regarding changes to the timing of annual guest passes. The new policy means cardholders receive four passes each year starting February 1.

Additionally, a Sky Club visit tracker is now available in the Fly Delta app and on the homepage. It shows how many visits remain from the annual allowance of 15 visits between February 1 and January 31 of the following year. Unlimited access is possible by spending $75,000 annually on eligible cards.

For cardmembers with specific American Express cards such as the Delta SkyMiles Reserve or Platinum cards, an automatic MQD boost of 2,500 per card at the start of each year is provided. This benefit accumulates for those holding multiple eligible cards.

These updates aim to offset increased status requirements and new lounge visit restrictions imposed by Delta.
