For example, if you earned 45 MQMs this year – 20,000 MQM more than the Silver Medallion requirement – the 20,000 MQMs will automatically roll over to next year’s balance. You can practically begin rolling over miles after making silver – or your 25,001st medallion mile. With 50 to 60 nights at other hotels like SPG, Hilton respectively, you’d be at their highest level.ĭelta is extremely generous with its rollover plan. Marriott’s move to offer Elite Rollover Nights doesn’t surprise me since they require 75 actual nights to obtain Platinum status which means Elite rollover doesn’t begin until your 76th night. Marriott launched their Elite Rollover Nights program in late spring and none of the major hotel chains followed.
I would be surprised if United or American follows this promotion as they have most of the corporate customers locked into corporate travel plans/accounts such as 25 to 30% discount plan. The Rollover MQM along with the free/complementary upgrades clearly made Delta my carrier of choice for the rest of the year (see previous post regarding Delta as the best for coast to coast travel). I have been traveling coast to coast on United and Delta for the past six months.
We are extremely pleased to see this change as it is definitely ground breaking for the airline industry. Delta introduced two major changes to the 2010 SkyMiles program: 1) Rollover Medallion Qualifying Miles (Rollover MQM) which lets you build status toward the following year and 2) a new Medallion class: Diamond which requires you to have 125,000 MQM.
