Beginning January 1, 2007, holders of the Platinum Delta SkyMiles card from American Express can earn up to 20,000 elite-qualifying miles (EQMs) per calendar year.
Cardholders earn 10,000 EQMs after spending $25,000 during the year, and an additional 10,000 EQMs for reaching the $50,000 mark.
In addition to upping the potential EQM earnings from 10,000 to 20,000, the new policy changes the earning period from the 12-month period beginning with the payment of the card's annual fee to the calendar year.
As is typically the case with EQM promotions, this is good news-bad news for SkyMiles members. For true frequent flyers who already earn elite status the old-fashioned way, viz. by flying, this will mean more elites competing for the few available upgrade seats. For frequent buyers, on the other hand, the new policy puts elite status and perks within fairly easy reach.
