You may notice a few changes as we continue to look for opportunities to fine-tune the Medallion® program. With the help of valuable feedback from members like you, we have developed new and more convenient Upgrade Certificates for 2014.

Beginning March 1, 2014, Platinum Medallion members may select four Regional Upgrades as a Choice Benefits selection. Regional Upgrades will be offered instead of Systemwide Upgrades and will be available on the same routes as Medallion Complimentary Upgrades, but will have a higher priority. Unlike the current more restrictive certificates, these new Regional Upgrades will be valid on all paid Economy Class fares except for E, providing you even more options and convenience.

Also, we are pleased to announce that beginning March 1st, Choice Benefits selections will include complimentary Global Entry.

If you earn Diamond Medallion status for 2014, you'll enjoy additional Choice Benefits options, including:
Four Global Upgrades or eight Regional Upgrades
Complimentary Global Entry for you and a guest
Two Tiffany & Co. premium luggage tags
For more details on these and other updates to the Medallion program, please visit delta.com.

Congratulations on achieving Platinum Medallion status for 2014. We look forward to seeing you on board.
