Delta Status Match Challenge Unlocks SkyTeam Benefits
|
The Delta SkyMiles Medallion Status Match Challenge offers a little-known shortcut to elite status on Delta Air Lines. These status benefits extend to Delta's partner airlines, including all SkyTeam alliance carriers!

If you already have elite status with an eligible airline outside of the SkyTeam alliance, such as Qantas, you may be eligible for 3 months of complimentary Delta status. You can then extend this status for up to 19 months by completing a "challenge" during your 3-month trial period.
