Delta Air Lines is encouraging its SkyMiles Members to make the most of their loyalty program through several everyday activities that do not require flying. As members plan trips or monitor their progress toward Medallion Status, Delta has highlighted various ways to earn and redeem miles.

Medallion Status can be achieved by earning Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) through flying with Delta and partner airlines, spending on eligible Delta SkyMiles American Express Cards, or booking travel. Those who hold select Delta SkyMiles American Express Cards receive a $2,500 MQD head start each qualification year, which helps bring them closer to reaching or maintaining status. The thresholds for qualifying for 2027 Medallion Status will remain unchanged next year.

Members loyal to other airlines have the opportunity to switch their elite status to Delta at no cost, subject to terms.

Delta's partnership with Uber allows more than one million linked SkyMiles Members to automatically earn up to three miles per eligible dollar spent on qualifying rides and Uber Eats orders in the U.S. Eligible cardholders may also access an Uber One monthly credit when using a Delta SkyMiles American Express Card for membership fees paid by June 25, 2026. This offer provides a statement credit of up to $9.99 per month for six or twelve consecutive months, depending on the card type.

SkyMiles Dining enables members to earn miles by linking a credit or debit card and dining at participating restaurants across the country. There is no overall limit on miles earned, and new users receive additional rewards after their first dine.

With SkyMiles Shopping, purchases made at over 1,000 online retailers convert into miles when logged in through the dedicated portal. A browser extension notifies shoppers when opportunities are available and can help members earn up to twice as many miles on average.

SkyMiles Members can also accrue benefits from packages such as cruises, car rentals, hotel stays, and short-term rentals through Delta Vacations and other partners.
