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.
