Delta Air Lines has announced the return of its 12Status SkyMiles loyalty program for the ninth consecutive Seattle Seahawks football season. The initiative, which is available to Washington state residents, rewards fans with one mile for every Seahawks passing yard during both home and away games throughout the 2025–2026 season.
This year, Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp will serve as a program ambassador. He will participate in Delta and Seahawks marketing efforts as well as promote 12Status through his personal social media channels.
“It’s great to have Delta as part of the Seahawks family for another season,” said Kupp. “As a new member of the team, I am looking forward to racking up miles for our fans and excited to partner with Delta to bring the best in travel and football to the city of Seattle.”
In addition to earning SkyMiles, members enrolled in 12Status receive benefits such as priority boarding in Zone 5 when departing from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport during the football season. Members are also eligible for a 12% discount on purchases made on the 12th day of each month at official Seahawks Pro Shop locations in Renton and at Lumen Field.
Since its launch in 2016, more than 1.9 billion total miles have been awarded through 12Status. Program participants have redeemed these miles for over 653,000 award tickets and traveled to 736 unique destinations. Las Vegas has remained the most popular destination among award travelers for four consecutive years.
“In Seattle, Delta customers always win, and this football season is no exception,” said Joan Wang, Managing Director – Pacific Northwest for Delta Air Lines. “As we celebrate Delta’s Centennial Year, Delta is more committed than ever to the Seattle market. With expanded routes to more destinations across the globe and a brand-new Delta One lounge and Sky Club at SEA, Delta is delivering more of what Seattle travelers love — whether they’re cheering from the stands or jetting off to their next adventure.”
Delta serves as Seattle’s largest global carrier with access to over 60 destinations across Asia, Europe, and North America. The airline plans new nonstop flights from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Barcelona and Rome beginning summer 2026.
Fans interested in traveling can fly direct from SEA this season to several cities where the Seahawks play road games including Phoenix, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Nashville, Atlanta, and San Francisco.
Delta is also an official sponsor of Seattle Sounders FC and participates in community engagement initiatives within Seattle through giving programs and partnerships with local organizations.
The SkyMiles Membership program provides members with multiple ways to earn and redeem points while experiencing Delta’s services. Joining SkyMiles is free but required for participation in 12Status.
Enrollment or re-enrollment into this year’s program can be completed online starting immediately; registration must be completed before September 7—the first regular-season game—to begin earning miles.
