Comparison of Delta’s Sky Programs

Comparison of Delta’s Sky Programs
What is Delta SkyMiles? Delta SkyMiles is Delta Airlines frequent flier program where members earn free flights when they accrue a certain number of mileage points based on actual miles flown.
Basic Way to A Free Flight: When SkyMiles members earn 25,000 miles, they get a free flight (economy class/SkySAAver). For different levels of service, members require higher levels of mileage points.
How Points Are Awarded: Points are awarded for flights on Delta and its airline partners. Also, members earn miles when using Delta business partners. These partners include hotels, rental cars, cellphone companies, restaurants, and others.
How Points Are Redeemed: Points are redeemed for free flights, magazine subscriptions, and select offers.

Delta’s SkyBonus program is designed to provide a special value for US companies that spend less than $500,000 per year on Delta and Delta Connection® flights originating in the United States and for foreign companies which spend less than $100,000 on Delta flights originating outside the United States. Companies that have negotiated discount fare agreements and travel agencies, wholesalers, consolidators, and other sellers of travel are not eligible to participate in this program.

What are some of the differences between Delta SkyMiles and Delta’s SkyBonus?
1. Individuals who are frequent flyers participate in the Delta SkyMiles and Companies participate in Delta’s SkyBonus.
2. If Companies are enrolled in Delta’s SkyBonus, the company’s members do not have to be enrolled in Delta’s SkyMiles.
3. If a Company’s members are enrolled in Delta’s SkyMiles, and participate in Delta’s SkyBonus, the members can participate in the benefits of being in Delta SkyMiles.

Happy Travels!
