they said on linkedin that you would get the email if you flew at least three business trips so far, and your company is contracted with delta. I assume that the percentage calculations are based on THAT criteria as opposed to total travelers.


im also still waiting for my email since I have taken more than three biz trips with a contracted account

I only had 3 biz trips on Delta so far this year, and was not given a percentage in my email.

My letter said I had flown <6,000 miles for business, which is not even close to correct, and was in the top 15% of business travelers in Houston. I guess there are lots of Houston based flyers with just one or two flights. One of the top three cities listed I did not fly to or from on Delta this year. I flew SLC-PHX several times and neither city was listed. Oh well. I did cash in miles for two cheap F award tickets for my mother-in-law so I am pleased about that.

82k and top 5% for RDU -- seems roughly accurate, not counting award travel or flights on KE/AF flight numbers.

The top 3 cities is the random generator for me:

NYC (100% my #1 especially if including connections)
AUS (only been once this year)
BKK (only been once this year and DL doesn't actually fly there, KE was the last leg so that one is really odd)

I've had a lot of one-offs this year but been to LHR twice, SFO twice, and BOS twice so you'd think those would rank higher than AUS/BKK

I was hoping that that was better than top 10% indeed so I was curious to get to more granular data, but it seems like that won't happen this year.

Am at 121k BIS miles with another 37k to go for the year.... thankfully only 3% of those were in Y

Does anyone know if the "Business Miles" is there miles flown on tickets booked in their corp portal (Concur) etc? My number of business miles doesn't match my total flown this year, so I would assume so.

That was my guess, but my company switched travel portals halfway through the year so I'm guessing they are pulling the info from our corporate account.

I got this email with a drink voucher as well, FWIW.

Guessing it's the same bookings that show up with "business" on your mytrips list on the app? For me that are the ones that are booked through my corporate travel desk.
TBH that is one of the most useless pieces of information to me on the app, not sure why they care to put it out visibly. I do understand that they want to track it internally.

Your ticket also has a corporate designator on it as well in the fare details.

Not sure how they count miles or where data comes from but a lot of my long distance Asia travel isn't included.
