What’s better than booking a customer? Booking a customer who is engaged with the product you’re selling and who is loyal to you, their trusted Travel Advisor. The best way to gain that trust? Make sure they’re getting the most out of their vacation, a great experience from start to finish, and a head start on their next getaway. Delta Vacations can help you provide just that, with every booking.

It’s simple! If a customer wants to fly Delta®, the SkyMiles® Program benefits will ensure they get the best travel experience, in-air and in-destination. Delta Vacations offers benefits that no other tour operator can in order to help your clients get the most value out of their vacation, like:

up to 10,000 bonus miles per person, per booking, in addition to miles earned on their flight
Medallion® Qualification Dollars (MQDs) on flights, hotels, rides and activities, on every vacation
the ability to pay for a little or all of their vacation with miles (not just the flight), on any vacation to any destination with no blackout dates or promo codes — and miles never expire!

Plus, when they pay for their vacation with miles, it’s just like another form of payment and doesn’t affect your commission!

These are in addition to the personalized, premium experiences they get on Delta as a SkyMiles Member, like free Wi-Fi, exclusive offers and the ability to view their entire vacation in the Fly Delta app for a more seamless day of travel. Not to mention the elevated vacation experience they expect from the Delta brand.

Earn MQDs to reach Medallion status with Delta Vacations.

Vacations are a big investment, but it’s easy to see how one vacation with Delta Vacations can earn the MQDs needed to reach Medallion Status, or to get to the next tier in 2024/2025:

Silver Medallion Tier: $5,000 MQDs
Gold Medallion Tier: $10,000 MQDs
Platinum Medallion Tier: $15,000 MQDs
Diamond Medallion Tier: $28,000 MQDs

When your clients experience the difference, they’ll come back to you time and time again. Even customers who don’t have Medallion Status today can get there with just one Delta Vacations package, and they can begin enjoying Medallion Member perks like waived baggage fees, complimentary upgrades, priority boarding, Choice Benefits and more!

Remember, if a SkyMiles Member books the exact same vacation, but not through Delta Vacations, they’re losing out on Medallion Status, more miles, the ability to pay with their miles for their whole vacation, and exclusive Members-only offers.

There are Delta Vacations benefits for you, too! As a Travel Advisor, you have access to 24/7 training and resources, the Rewards to Go incentive program, commissionable activities and tours, flexible hold, deposits and payments, exclusive bonus commission and incentive programs and easy access to our award-winning, U.S.-based Customer Engagement Center.

All you need to do is add their SkyMiles Member number to the booking and look like a hero for introducing all these perks! Check out the Delta Vacations Marketing Hub for training, FAQs, videos and marketing tools.
