A Year in Review
We would like to take a moment to reflect on the latest enhancements from 2024:
• Improved Medallion
®
Status earn: Beginning this year, your SkyMiles Member travelers earn Medallion
®
Qualification Dollars (MQDs) on more than just their flight. Lead travelers also earn MQDs on hotels, rides and activities. Just one vacation can be enough to earn or elevate their Status!
• Even more activities and tours: A vacation is so much more than the room you stay in. With greater focus on off-the-beaten-path and hidden gem activities, our team has been hard at work adding exciting tours and excursions all over the world.
• Exclusive advisor incentives: Keep an eye out for our monthly and quarterly incentives. With everything from bonus commission to the chance to win a Delta
®
flight voucher, the next vacation you book could be your own!
• New Travel Protection Plan: We’re very excited to introduce the latest addition to our travel protection portfolio — Travel Protection Plan Premium, which includes commission protection of up to $500 and expanded emergency medical coverage. Terms apply.

Things to Remember:
1. For an elevated cabin experience, book your travelers in Delta One
®
, Delta Premium Select or Delta Comfort+
®
.
2. SkyMiles Members earn bonus miles on top of flight miles. Plus, they earn MQDs toward Status on every vacation – on flights, hotels, rides and activities.
3. Protect their travel investment and your commission with flexible change policies and Travel Protection Plans for cancellations, medical emergencies and more.
4. You can use miles as a form of payment on your clients’ bookings and they’ll still earn miles and bonus miles (and MQDs) along the way, and you’ll earn your regular commission.
