As I wrote about yesterday, it seems like Delta is running three separate promotions to incentivize non-elites up to Gold Medallions to fly more and attain higher status levels. These are targeted, but you might as well try signing up for all three to see if any of them take. Unfortunately, I'm a Diamond Medallion, so Delta didn't create an offer for me - at least that I know of! FYI These offers are all for SkyMiles- not bonus Medallion Qualifying Miles.

Offer 1: Targeted towards Silver Medallions

Fly six qualifying Delta segments* anytime between April 1 and June 30, 2011, and you'll receive double flown miles. (That's just three nonstop round-trip flights.)

Then fly and enjoy a 75% mileage bonus on all
Delta marketed/operated flights flown July 1 through December 31, 2011.
As a Silver Medallion®, you already earn a 25% mileage bonus. Add that to the 75% mileage bonus and you'll be earning a total bonus of 100%. That's double flown miles on all paid Delta flights for six months.

For this one-time bonus, register today and fly between April 1 and
June 30, 2011.

Offer 2: Targeted to Gold Medallions
