For the last time this year, Delta Air Lines is offering Delta SkyMiles<\/a> members another path to earn Medallion Qualification Dollars toward elite status<\/a> with its Stays and Cars promotion.<\/p>\n Specifically, you can earn 1 MQD per base dollar spent on hotel bookings<\/a> and car rental reservations<\/a> booked by Sept. 30 through the Travel Extras portal for travel completed by Oct. 31.<\/p>\n Here are the details.<\/p>\n Daily Newsletter<\/p>\n Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter<\/p>\n Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG\u2019s experts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n For example, Hertz is a partner of Delta, and if you decide to book a rental car with this company through Delta, basic SkyMiles members will earn 4 miles per $1 spent on qualifying rentals. Additionally, depending on your Delta elite status, you can earn 5 to 8 miles per $1 spent on qualifying rentals.<\/p>\n Therefore, if you decide to book a Hertz rental car at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) through Delta’s portal, here’s how many MQDs and SkyMiles you can earn on a three-day-long rental with the current promotion:<\/p>\n 1 of 3<\/p>\n TRAVELEXTRAS-DELTA.COM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Related: Hitting the road on your vacation? Everything you need to know about rental car elite status<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Before you book, make sure to read the full terms and conditions of this promotion. One of the most important things to note is that you can only earn MQDs if your name appears on the credit card you pay with. Delta will not credit MQDs if the first and last names on the card do not match the information on the SkyMiles account.<\/p>\n After you complete your travel, it can take up to eight weeks to receive the MQDs.<\/p>\n Additionally, those with a Delta cobranded card<\/a> can earn up to $100 or up to $250 Delta Stays statement credits<\/a> annually when they use the card to purchase prepaid hotels or vacation rentals through Delta Stays. Plus, prepaid Delta Stays reservations now qualify as Delta purchases on cobranded cards.<\/p>\n Delta cardholders, including those with the Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Platinum American Express Card<\/a><\/span> or the Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Reserve American Express Card<\/a><\/span>, will earn 3 miles per dollar spent. Cardholders of the Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Gold American Express Card<\/a><\/span> will earn 2 miles per dollar spent on Delta purchases.<\/p>\n This promotion is another way to earn Delta status without flying<\/a>. By earning MQDs through non-flight activities outside one of the airline’s cobranded cards, this promotion sets a new precedent for Medallion status. Delta appears to be sending emails to SkyMiles members in batches with this promotion \u2014 we hope to see more ways to earn MQDs like this one in the future.<\/p>\n Related reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the last time this year, Delta Air Lines is offering Delta SkyMiles members another path to earn Medallion Qualification Dollars toward elite status with its Stays and Cars promotion.
