(Pre-pandemic, Delta gave Million Milers a choice of gifts they could select. During the raging days of the pandemic, the airline mailed gift cards and maybe another item.)
But now that gift choices are back, some Million MIlers are a bit perturbed they didn’t get to choose anything. (Like a $1,250 Delta eGift Card.) They received whatever Delta sent them. (Yes, yes, #FirstWorldProblems, we know.)
However, those folks might be in luck.
Reader Elle commented, “Seems like if you hit your Million [Mile] mark earlier in 2022, they are still offering you the gift selection (wine, backpack, plaque of Delta logos) in addition to the $250 GC and bag tags that were already sent.”
Soon after, reader Sally pointed out noted, “I received the gift card AND just selected a gift. Go through your app, look at Million Miler benefits and a link to choose your gift should be there.”
So, I contacted a friend who reached Three Million Miler status earlier in 2022. She received a $500 Delta gift card and some kind of cube. I asked her to visit DeltaMillionMiler.com to see if she could select another gift.
Lo and behold, she could!
Soon before this post went live, reader Johnny also reported success.
The Two Million Miler choices are way better, if you ask me. (Like, thanks for earning 3,000,000 MQM with us, sucker who flew during the pandemic! Here’s a plaque or backpack.) At least the Two Million Milers get two bottles of wine as opposed to the single bottle the Three Million Milers are thrown.
Moral of the story: if you crossed a Million Mile threshold earlier this year and didn’t get to select a gift, visit DeltaMillionMiler.com. You might be able to choose something.
This seems to be a your-mileage-may-vary thing based on when you crossed a Million Mile threshold, Medallion status (if applicable), and what you received earlier in the year (if anything).
Let us know what happens — and your thoughts on the situation as a whole.

Thank you!!! I qualified for 1M a few months ago and received an email with a $250 DL gift card. A plaque and 2 bag tags then came in the mail a few weeks later. Nowhere was it ever mentioned that I could receive an additional gift. To my shock I clicked on the link you provided and got a choice of a wine set, framed Delta heritage logos and a great customized backpack which I selected. Many thanks!!
I became a Delta 1 Million miler during the pandemic and I received absolutely nothing other than 2 luggage tags. Anything I missed?
Try that DeltaMillionMiler link; maybe you can select something more fun than a couple of luggage tags.
Nope, nothing extra for me
I was able to land the wine set (very good wine options surprisingly btw – Joseph Phelps and Far Niente!!) with my 2MM achievement this year. However my wife hit 1MM about the same time and it denied log in for her. Very odd as I see it worked for others at 1MM. I selected the wine at 2MM due to many other travel bags.
THANK YOU FOR FINDING THIS LINK!!! And cheers, look forward to some great wine.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the article. I reached MM in 2021. Honestly, I don’t remember getting to chose a gift. It’s possible, but really don’t remember. I did get luggage tags.
I went to the DeltaMillion Miler link site and it said I wasn’t eligible. Oh well, it was worth trying.
Maybe Delta will do something for those of us that missed out. 🙂
same boat. MM during 2021. Got a paperweight and luggage tags. no gift card. not eligible to enter site to choose a gift. Guess that’s how flying during the pandemic is rewarded
thanks Chris for this post. I hit my 2M Miler last month when I did the IAH to DXB run – thanks for another one of your post. When I hit my 2MM status, Delta sent me a $350 Delta Gift Card, new 2M tags, and a Lucite block. Now, I saw your post, I was able to select the leather backpack. This will become handy for my travel. YAY.!
Woohoo! Thanks for tip! Got a backpack.
Same here, hit it in 2021 and no option to select on the website.
Account not eligible
I wonder if it is worth complaining, if other people are getting $1250 and pandemic flyers only got $250
Question: I have the Delta Business Platinum card and the Delta Business Gold card. Amex has extended an offer to me to upgrade my Delta Business Gold to a second Delta Business Platinum. If I were to accept the upgrade and have two Delta Business Platinum cards, can I earn 20,000 MQMs via spending on both cards for a total of 40,000 MQMs? Or, would I be limited to a total of 20,000 MQMs? Thanks in advance.
You can earn MQM from only one card. That said, you can hold all four Status Boost-eligible cards (DL Plat, DL Biz Plat, Reserve, Reserve Biz) concurrently and all Status Boost bonus MQM from each. I’ve done it many times.
Make sense?
Me and my family fly with Delta from the 7/8/2022, an arrival at my destination I realized my son who is disabled bag can not be found. I reported to Detla desk that I can locate my son bag, I was give a note, I also file a claim online, But upon till now I can not receive any response about my son bag I that bag have all my son cloth, pamper and sleeping medications, I need help
Hi, Curline — that sounds ugly. This page lists some contacts who may be helpful.
