Delta has a great deal going on now where you can redeem your SkyMiles for 2 cents/per mile on all of their vacation packages that include a flight and hotel. Normally if you were to redeem SkyMiles for vacation packages it’s at a 1 cent/per mile ratio so with this latest offer, you’re essentially getting twice the value for your SkyMiles. Expired.

In order to take advantage of this offer you must book through now through August 30, 2019. Delta SkyMiles Medallions members can save even more by using promo code SMLOYAL19 when booking.

As someone who has never booked a Delta vacation package before, I went ahead and pulled the trigger for the great redemption value plus the ability to earn elite qualification miles on the flights.

Here’s some sample itineraries:

• If you wanted to head out to Scottsdale for a few nights, you could redeem a vacation package for a flight from Los Angeles to Phoenix plus two nights at Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa for 19,000 SkyMiles.

• If you wanted to head out to Seattle for a few nights, you could redeem a vacation package for a flight from San Diego to Seattle plus two nights at Hyatt Regency Lake Washington for just 26,000 SkyMiles.

• If you wanted to head out to Las Vegas for a few nights, you could redeem a vacation package for a flight from New York to Las Vegas plus two nights at Aria Las Vegas for just 55,000 SkyMiles.

As a reminder, the flights booked through SkyMiles vacations do earn Medallion Qualification Miles and count toward MQD’s, both which aren’t normally true when just redeeming SkyMiles for flights outright.
