Get to Know Medallion Status
Choice Benefits – A Delta Exclusive
As a Diamond or Platinum Medallion Member, you get to select exclusive Choice Benefits. As our most loyal Members, Choice Benefits enable you to customize your benefits by what matters most to you. We've listened to your feedback and made some exciting changes that offer you even more flexibility to fit your needs.
What’s New & Improved
Starting February 1, 2017 for both 2017 and 2018 Medallion Year Choice Benefit Selections:
- Diamond Medallion Members now have the flexibility to select their Choice Benefits at different times.
Starting February 1, 2017 for 2018 Medallion Year Choice Benefit Selections Only:
- Members who achieve Diamond Medallion Status for the 2018 Medallion year will now receive three Choice Benefit selections instead of two.
- Diamond Medallion Members will still receive complimentary Delta Sky Club® Membership, which must now be selected via Choice Benefits starting with the 2018 Medallion year.
- An Individual Membership can be selected by using one Choice Benefit or an Executive Membership can be selected by using two Choice Benefits.
- Diamond Medallion Members who have complimentary Delta Sky Club access via an eligible credit card will have the new option to select a Delta Sky Club Guest Pass to receive unlimited Delta Sky Club access for up to two guests per visit when traveling with the Card Member.
- Diamond and Platinum Medallion Members will now have the option to gift bonus miles to another Member's SkyMiles account.
- Diamond Medallion Members will now have the ability to make multiple selections of the same benefit, excluding Global and Regional Upgrade Certificates and Delta Sky Club Memberships.
These changes offer a large number of our Members who have other means to enter Delta Sky Club, such as the Delta Reserve Card from American Express, the opportunity for an additional Choice Benefit selection to get the most of their Status. And don't worry - Diamond Medallion Members who want access to Delta Sky Club can enjoy that same benefit just like before by selecting it via Choice Benefits.

Members who do not have an eligible credit card that grants complimentary access to Delta Sky Club are not eligible for a Delta Sky Club Guest Pass and should instead choose an Executive Membership.
All Diamond Medallion Members who currently have an existing Delta Sky Club membership and who already have access with a credit card will have the option of overriding your existing Delta Sky Club Individual Membership by replacing it with the Delta Sky Club Guest Pass. Please note that by selecting the new Guest Pass benefit, your existing Delta Sky Club Individual Membership will be cancelled and you will not be eligible for a refund for any remaining months on your existing Delta Sky Club membership.
