byDaniel McCarthy/Afterannouncing updates to its SkyMiles Loyalty Program这包括达到黄金,铂金和钻石状态的更高门槛,达美航空公司推出了一种新的合作伙伴关系,这可能使咖啡饮用者更容易达到这些水平。
立即生效的是,也参加星巴克奖励的Skymiles成员可以将其帐户链接起来,然后每花1美元在星巴克赚取一英里。然后,达美(Delta)将对在注册会员进行预定的飞行时间的天数的购买时间将两倍。
The move is the second time that Starbucks has partnered with an airline—in 2021, Starbucks Canada launched a similar partnership with Air Canada. This week’s announcement is the first time that Starbucks has linked loyalty programs with a U.S. airline.
“We’re continuing to evolve Delta’s SkyMiles program to give our customers valuable, premium experiences not just on the days they travel but in their everyday lives as well,” said Prashant Sharma, vice president of loyalty at Delta. “Through this new partnership with Starbucks, we can deliver more moments and interactions that matter, both in the air and on the ground.”
To celebrate the new partnership, Starbucks and Delta are also giving those who link their accounts (Starbucks Rewards and Delta SkyMiles) by the end of the year an extra 500 miles.
Delta’s earlier announcement this week means that starting next year, it will take more to earn a higher status with Delta Air Lines. The new thresholds start on Jan. 1, 2023, the earn year to qualify for 2024 Medallion Status. Status for 2023 remains unchanged.
Here are the new thresholds for Delta SkyMiles Medallions for 2024:
- Silver Medallion: $3,000, no change from 2023.
- Gold Medallion: $8,000, up from $6,000 in 2023.
- Platinum Medallion: $12,000, up from $9,000 in 2023.
