Delta milestone awardS

Delta’s Medallion Members aren’t like the rest of us. Miles are their currency. Upgrades are their game. The one with the most passport stamps wins. So how do you thank over a million of these road warriors for their amazing year of travel?

With the Delta Milestone Awards. A nationwide campaign to recognize the amazing people behind the most unexpected, unbelievable travel stats and the incredible Delta employees who go above and beyond to support them.

FINDING OUR MILESTONE WINNERS

We dug into travel data to find the Medallion Members with the most impressive stats. Who flew the most miles? Who went to the most cities? Who flew on the most types of planes? (Or as you say in the aviation biz, “on the most metal.”) The stats were impressive. But even more impactful were the stories behind them.

SHARING THE WINNERS AND THEIR STORIES AT DELTAMILESTONES.COM

You’ll meet Jere, a Nashville businessman who achieved 11 Million Mile Status this year and the Mega Miler award. Kurt, our Trend Setter, who travels to emerging healthcare markets to connect with doctors and patients face-to-face. Then there’s Kim, an Exceptional Crew Tracker who consistently goes above and beyond to care for her crewmembers. These are just 3 of our incredible winners—get to know the rest.

SURPRISING ALL OUR WINNERS WITH A SPECIAL MILESTONES DELIVERY

All Milestone winners received a TUMI® suitcase filled with a plane tail-inspired trophy, a limited-edition brass bag tag and a hand-written notecard, thanking and congratulating them.

MAKING THE WINNERS FAMOUS

Medallion Members’ achievements were featured in Hubs and Focus Cities with paid media support.

CELEBRATING THE MILESTONES OF EVERY MEMBER

We shared a “year-in-review” email with all Medallion Members. We gave their 2018 travel stats in a screenshot-able format, ready for sharing. And Members can see how their travel stacks up to the Milestone Winners’.

The Delta Milestone Awards ignited a new level of connection between our most valued customers, making everyone feel like a high performer, and it gave our truly epic members a new echelon of status.
