Delta is back with another promotion awarding Medallion Qualification Dollars when booking hotel stays, vacation rentals and car rentals via Delta. Whether that’ll be worth it though is another matter.

The Deal

Key Terms

  • Book through Delta by June 24, 2024 & complete travel by September 8, 2024.
  • Please allow up to 8 weeks upon completion of your rental to receive MQDs and miles in your SkyMiles account.

Quick Thoughts

For someone shooting for Delta status this year, taking advantage of this promotion might make sense. However, be aware that you could be forgoing better deals, elite status benefits and earnings.

Delta’s booking portals are powered by Expedia, so the prices should be competitive, but you might be able to find better deals through other OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) or by booking directly.

Booking hotels via the Delta portal(s) means that you won’t receive elite status benefits, earn hotel points, get elite night credits, etc. It also means that you’ll be missing out on shopping portal earnings as well, so earning only 1 SkyMile per dollar plus 1 Medallion Qualification Dollar per dollar spent might not be worth the opportunity cost.

Hey y’all! Thanks for the post. @Stephen do you know if the MQDs earned through stays will count towards meeting a status match challenge?

Jacob

Thank you Stephen! Quick follow, do you know if Delta’s hotel portal, I believe marketed as DeltaExtras, would be considered Delta Vacations? Seems like it might be a separate category but I can’t tell.

Jacob

Thanks anyway Stephen, appreciate the response!
