Enrollment In SkyBonus

What is 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.

Who qualifies for the SkyBonus program?

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..

How do I enroll my company in SkyBonus?

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.

What information do I need to enroll my company in SkyBonus?
  • Your company's legal name and address
  • Your company’s Federal Tax ID or VAT number
  • Name, phone number and email address for a primary administrator who will be responsible for managing the program on behalf of your company
  • The ARC/IATA number, email address and contact information of your preferred travel agency (if applicable)
What is the difference between the SkyBonus program and the SkyMiles® Program?

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.

Maintaining Your SkyBonus Account

What is the role of the Program Administrators?

The Program Administrators are responsible for managing the company’s SkyBonus account, including:

  • Updating the company profile information
  • Providing the SkyBonus account number to the company’s preferred travel agency
  • Communicating the SkyBonus account number, booking instructions, and relevant program information to business travelers
  • Monitoring the company’s SkyBonus account activity
  • Redeeming rewards on behalf of the company
How do we change the Program Administrator for our account?

The current primary program administrator may assign a new primary program administrator at any time by updating the company profile information. Additionally, he/she may also appoint a secondary program administrator to help manage the account. If the current primary program administrator is no longer with the company, a written request from the corporation is required to update the account. This request should be on company letterhead and must include the company Federal Tax ID number and an authorized signature. Please include the name, phone number and email address of the new primary program administrator. Fax this request to 404-773-2100, or scan and email this request to skybonus@delta.com. Upon receipt and confirmation, your company profile will be updated and the account details will be sent in an email to the new primary program administrator.

Can our travel agency update our SkyBonus account?

Your travel agency can update the information listed on your company profile. In addition, your agent can register your company for promotions. If you grant authorization, your travel agent can also view your account statement and order awards on your behalf.

Tracking SkyBonus Revenue

What travel qualifies for earning SkyBonus points?

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:

  • Tickets purchased worldwide with Delta Air Lines (ticket numbers beginning in 006)
    • Tickets issued or originating outside of North America must be issued on DL 006 for flights marketed and operated by Delta.
  • Tickets purchased in North America with select partners:
    • Air France (ticket numbers beginning in 057), KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (074) and Virgin Atlantic (932) tickets must be issued and originate in North America and contain a Transatlantic flight segment. 
    • Aeromexico tickets (beginning in 139) must be issued and originate in North America, for nonstop travel between the United States and Mexico, for flights completed on or after October 1, 2017.
  • Flights operated by SkyTeam® partners and other codeshare partner airlines also earn when:
    • Tickets are issued by Delta (006)
    • Flights are marketed by Delta (DL flight number)
Do SkyBonus points expire?

Your SkyBonus points expire on December 31st, three years after the year of issuance.

How do tickets track automatically in our account?

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.

Can a ticket be submitted for retroactive credit?

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.

How long does it take for points to be credited to our account?

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.

How are changes to itineraries handled?

Changes or cancellations to an itinerary are handled at www.delta.com, your preferred travel agency or by contacting Delta Reservations.

Can my company earn credit on upgrades?

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.
