SkyBonus Minimum spend?
Hey all,
I received an email from SkyBonus today and noticed something that I have not seen before. On the email it states: "Remember that your company must have at least $5,000 of company travel per year on Delta or any of our eligible airline partners in order to maintain eligibility in the SkyBonus program".
I then checked the T&C on the SkyBonus website and at the very bottom it states: "Participating companies that do not have Delta flown revenue greater than $5,000 USD or the equivalent in other currencies per calendar year may be de-enrolled from the Program. Any Program points accrued will be forfeited should minimum activity level not be reached".
For reference: https://skybonus.delta.com/bizCoTermsConditions.sb
Is this new or has this term always been a part of the program? If this term has always been in place, I guess I missed the memo. If it is new, heads up!

Thanks kop84! I guess I have never thoroughly read the T&C. Fortunately, my company spends more than enough on DL. Although, I imagine some small companies might not meet the minimum requirements (or spread their spend on multiple airlines). Either way, they probably aren't accumulating much.
I've seen a few blogs talk about SkyBonus time and again, but never have I seen the bloggers advertise the minimum spend. So to the oblivious (like me), there is in fact a minimum spend!

Is there a way to see on the Skybonus website the $ value they have attributed to your spend? I'm close this year for the spend, I think just under, but don't want to lose the 400,000 points I have accumulated. The thing is all my receipts show the foreign currency value, so not sure what they've counted. Cheers.
