We truly value your loyalty and the trust you place in us. To ensure we continue to deliver the benefits your loyalty deserves, for the 2026 Medallion Choice Benefits that are increasing in value, we will ensure all Members that have already selected these Choice Benefits or do so between now and February 1, 2026, receive the new higher value:

• For Gifting Medallion Status, we’ll give you two additional Medallion Statuses to gift.
• For Bonus Miles or a Delta Travel Voucher, we’ll automatically credit your account with the updated, higher value.

To align with the start of the 2026 Medallion Year in February, we will inform you by mid-February that these updates are available.

After an exciting year of bringing you a new Uber partnership for earning miles, a new way to redeem miles through trip insurance, increased Award sales, personalized bag tags and much more, we are looking forward to next year and are focused on bringing even more benefits and improvements to our Members. Be on the lookout for more exciting updates to the Medallion experience coming your way in 2026.

We're grateful for your trust and loyalty, and we thank you for choosing us to be part of your journey.
