Delta Business Travelers is a separate program designed to complement SkyMiles for Business by serving a different group of business travelers.<\/p>\n<p>While Delta Business Travelers is designed for anyone who travels for work, SkyMiles for Business is geared for small and medium-size enterprises. To <a href=\"https:\/\/skymilesforbusiness.delta.com\/s\/sign-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enroll<\/a>, you must be a business or owner administrator of a company. You will be required to provide a valid tax identification number or value-added tax number, and you may need to show written proof of authorization from the company.<\/p>\n<p>The basic member tier of SkyMiles for Business is open to all companies, regardless of size and annual revenue. This tier provides tailored offers from Delta and third parties, similar to Delta Business Travelers. It does not allow your business to <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/how-to-earn-miles-delta-skymiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earn SkyMiles<\/a>, although individual employees will still earn miles on Delta and partner flights as SkyMiles members.<\/p>\n<p>To reach the higher tiers, your company must have at least five unique employee travelers and spend at least $5,000 in eligible flight revenue every calendar year. If you meet these criteria, your company will earn SkyMiles on eligible flights taken by employees, while the employees will continue to earn miles on flights as they normally would.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, SkyMiles for Business is more rewarding for larger companies with at least five employees who travel and an annual spend of at least $5,000 on flights. Delta Business Travelers, on the other hand, is open to anyone who identifies as a business traveler, no matter how much or how little you travel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/what-is-delta-elite-status-worth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Delta Medallion status: What it is and how to earn it<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"bottom-line\" class=\"jsx-2362441780 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-2362441780\">Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>Delta has reaffirmed its commitment to the business travel sector with its newest offering, Delta Business Travelers, which is accessible to anyone who travels for work.
