MQDs are the total of the SkyMiles member’s spend on Delta-marketed flights (flight numbers that include the “DL” airline code), including the base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges, but excluding government-imposed taxes and fees.

Base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges for travel marketed by Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 partner airlines ticketed through a Delta channel (featuring a ticket number beginning with “006”) will also be included in MQDs.

Certain tickets, including but not limited to bulk, consolidator, cruise, vacation packages, inclusive tour and other tickets where the fare is not disclosed, will count toward MQDs. A portion of the airfare for some Delta Vacations® packages will earn MQDs based on fare class and distance flown. Award, Miles + Cash, free, barter, pass travel and other tickets not eligible for mileage accrual will not earn MQDs.
