New medallion credentials in the mail (Photos)

New SkyMiles Medallion credentials on on their way to you this month.

Buffi Planas, Delta’s Marketing Communications manager in charge of SkyMiles credentials, provided The TICKET with a few interesting nuggets about this year’s tags:

>The envelope that your credentials are mailed in is clear, and the package is less bulky, using more recycled paper than before.

>The design of the credential package reflects Delta’s new black and white “Keep Climbing” campaign.

>All Diamond Medallion packs were stuffed by hand (!) and mailed out this week. Silver, Gold and Platinum packages are on a staggered schedule over the next two weeks.

>Like before, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond cards are plastic. What’s new this year is that they are one solid color: Platinum is all charcoal, Gold is all gold and Silver is all silver. (See below)

>The Diamond luggage tag and lanyard are made out of sturdy, clanky aluminum (not plastic) this year.  (More clank = More recognition, right?) Note: The Diamond Medallion wallet card is plastic, the luggage tag is aluminum.

Delta's new Diamond Medallion tags mailed Feb 2011. The card and lanyard are both metal; noisy, but tough.
