Enrollment In SkyBonus
SkyBonus is Delta´s complimentary business travel rewards program for small to medium companies. SkyBonus turns your business travel budget into rewards by converting the dollars your company spends on eligible flights with Delta, Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Aeromexico, Virgin Atlantic or any of our codeshare partners into SkyBonus points. SkyBonus rewards your company with points for every dollar spent on business travel by verifiable employees and for all published fares.
Companies eligible for SkyBonus include small to mid-sized companies located in countries where the program is offered. Companies that have negotiated discount fare agreements, travel agencies, wholesalers, consolidators and other sellers of travel are not eligible to participate in this program.
Companies are required to spend a minimum of $5,000 USD in eligible flight revenue and have a minimum of five unique employee travelers each calendar year to remain active in the program and keep available points..
You or your travel agency may enroll your company by completing the online application at skybonus.delta.com. To be eligible, you must accept the terms and conditions of the program. If your company qualifies, you and your preferred travel agent will receive an email confirmation within two business days. Your company will be assigned a unique SkyBonus account number to be used to track your company’s business travel on Delta® and eligible partner flights.
SkyBonus is Delta's global travel rewards program in which member companies can earn points for business travel on Delta and eligible partner flights, which companies may redeem for travel rewards. SkyMiles is Delta's frequent flyer program in which individual travelers can earn miles for flying on Delta or eligible partner flights and for using SkyMiles partners´ products and services. SkyBonus travelers are not required to be SkyMiles members; however, when traveling for company business, employees who are SkyMiles members will still accrue their personal miles while their company earns SkyBonus points. To ensure both the individual traveler and company earn credit in both programs, be sure the employee´s SkyMiles number and the company´s SkyBonus account number are added to the reservation at the time of ticketing.

Tracking SkyBonus Revenue
Your company can earn SkyBonus points for all eligible flights taken by employees for business, when your company's SkyBonus ID is included on the ticket and when the following criteria are met:
Your SkyBonus points expire on December 31st, three years after the year of issuance.
Your company´s SkyBonus account number must be included on your tickets at the time of purchase by your travel agency, at delta.com, at other Delta ticketing locations such as Delta Reservations, city ticket offices or airport ticket counters, or on qualifying tickets purchased directly with Air France, KLM, and Aeromexico. When purchasing tickets on delta.com, travelers should select "My company is a SkyBonus program member" on the Passenger Information page and enter their company´s SkyBonus account number. Additionally, employees can add their company´s SkyBonus account number to their SkyMiles profile at any time. Once added to their SkyMiles profile, the SkyBonus number will automatically be added to their tickets when reservations are booked online at delta.com.
If your SkyBonus number was not entered on a ticket at the time of issuance, you can enter the ticket number on the Add Tickets page to request retroactive credit. Retroactive credit is allowed for qualifying flights purchased and flown after your enrollment date. In addition, only eligible travel purchased and flown within the last 12 months of your membership is considered for credit. Tickets are processed and will appear on your statement within 6-8 weeks after travel. Tickets validated on Aeromexico ticket stock (ticket numbers beginning in 139) for flights completed prior to October 1, 2017 are not eligible for retroactive credit.
SkyBonus points are calculated daily. Tickets are processed and will appear on your statement within 6-8 weeks after travel. However, it may take up to 10-12 weeks after travel for points to be credited for some qualifying partner-operated flights.
Changes or cancellations to an itinerary are handled at www.delta.com, your preferred travel agency or by contacting Delta Reservations.
Your company can earn SkyBonus points on eligible purchased upgrades. For upgrades purchased prior to the 24-hour check-in window through Delta's post purchase upgrade options, your company will earn credit for the value of the upgrade and the original ticket will be updated to the new earning level (if applicable) after travel is complete. The original ticket must be eligible to earn credit in order for the post purchase paid upgrade to earn credit. See Terms and Conditions for types of tickets that are not eligible.
