MEMBERSHIP CARD
Your SkyMiles Platinum Elite, Gold Elite or Silver Elite membership card is the property of Northwest Airlines. The card must be surrendered upon request. Elite membership is not transferable. The SkyMiles Medallion membership card may be used only by the person named on the card and is not transferable. Fraudulent use of the card will result in termination of SkyMiles Medallion membership and/or SkyMiles membership.

PROGRAM RULES
Northwest may change the SkyMiles program rules, regulations, benefits, conditions of participation or mileage levels, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice, even though changes may affect the value of mileage already accumulated. Failure to comply with the SkyMiles policies and procedures may result in cancellation of SkyMiles Medallion membership status and forfeiture of accrued mileage. Award travel is capacity controlled. Travel to prime destinations during peak periods may require the PerkPassSM Award to secure seats.

So that we can continue to maintain the integrity of the SkyMiles program, we will investigate all accounts that we believe violate the SkyMiles terms and conditions, our Contract of Carriage or fare tariffs. This includes hidden-city routing, back-to-back ticketing, point-beyond ticketing, throw-away ticketing, and violation of Delta Sky ClubTM membership rules. Accounts with infractions will be subject to appropriate penalties or deductions, including but not limited to revocation of Elite status, termination of account and forfeiture of miles.
