As a SkyMiles Medallion member, you’ll earn award travel fast! In addition to actual flight miles, you automatically earn an Elite mileage bonus with every paid qualifying flight on Northwest, our SkyTeam ® Global Alliance Partners and other Elite Qualifying SkyMiles Airline Partners between the effective date of your 2009 Elite membership and February 28, 2010. (Based on credited flight miles only; excludes other Bonus Miles.)

Your Elite mileage bonus* will be credited to your account when your flight miles are credited. This valuable bonus makes it easier for you to take advantage of more flexible and less restrictive PerkPassSM. The PerkPass option requires a higher number of miles and provides greater seat availability especially during major holiday travel and other peak travel times to popular destinations when PerkSaverSM Award space may be more constrained.

* Elite bonus miles do not count toward Elite status qualification.

Tickets purchased prior to Nov. 15, 2008, will earn the current Elite mileage bonuses on segments flown regardless of travel date. See more information regarding this change.
