Delta Air Lines provides SkyMiles Medallion status match for higher tier level, selectively [targeted].
Delta Air Lines is currently offering a unique status match opportunity to targeted customers holding elite status with competing airlines. This promotion, primarily aimed at holders of the Platinum Card from American Express, allows customers to elevate their status and enjoy a higher level of service and benefits.
The status match offer is not limited to Platinum Card holders. Customers with elite status from American Airlines, United, or Alaska can also be eligible for the promotion. To check their eligibility, customers can visit a specific website and enter the email that is registered with their American Express account.
If a customer is bumped to Diamond, the highest public tier offering from Delta, they need to fly 50,000 qualifying miles or 55 segments to extend status. If they are bumped to Gold, they need to fly 18,000 qualifying miles or 12 segments to extend status. If they are bumped to Platinum, they need to fly 28,000 qualifying miles or 22 segments to extend status. Meeting the reduced qualification requirements will result in enjoying the newly bumped status through 2023.
It is most advantageous to match the status now to enjoy the free match period for a longer time. Customers will enjoy all normal status benefits until August 31, 2022. However, it is important to note that customers will not be eligible for any Choice Benefits that come with earning status by fulfilling all requirements.
This status match promotion from Delta is unique as it not only matches the status but also bumps it up a level, increasing the number of perks and benefits. This is a great tactic to motivate customers to use Delta in the future due to the higher level of service and benefits they will experience.
The deadline to apply for Delta Air Lines' status match offer is not explicitly stated in the available search results. However, Delta grants immediate elite status followed by a 90-day challenge period to maintain it. It is also important to note that one must not have received a Delta status match in the past three years to qualify.
If you hold a competitor's elite status and were targeted for this promotion through your American Express card, it is worth considering taking advantage of the offer. With the opportunity to elevate your status and enjoy a longer free match period, this promotion could provide significant benefits for your future travels with Delta Air Lines.
