SEATTLE, Sept. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Seattle
Seahawks will throw for more than just passing yards this football
season. They'll also throw for SkyMiles with the launch of Delta
Air Lines' (NYSE: DAL) 12status, a fan engagement program for
Seahawks fans in Washington state
to earn miles, merchandise and exclusive perks.
12status is the airline's first program that allows sports fans
to earn miles for Award Travel simply for being a fan. Fans can
sign up for 12status at www.seahawks.com/12status to automatically
receive miles for on-and off-the-field activities, including:
- One mile for each passing yard at Seahawks home games
- 500 bonus miles for every 12,000 people who sign up for
12status
- 1,200 miles should the fans at CenturyLink Field on the
Dec. 15 game against Los Angeles create enough noise to cause five
(5) false start penalties against the visiting team
- 1,200 miles for new SkyMiles members
12status members will also receive perks when they fly with
Delta, including priority boarding on Delta flights out of Sea-Tac
during football season beginning Sept.
8 and free merchandise in the terminals during away game
travel periods, while supplies last. Members are also eligible for
surprise seat upgrades in the Delta Sky360 Club at CenturyLink
Field.
"Yard by yard and mile by mile, Seahawks fans can turn their
fandom into a tangible benefit simply by signing up for 12status,"
said Mike Medeiros, Delta's Vice
President – Seattle. "Our
commitment is to be a great partner, and this partnership in action
gives fans a chance to build their SkyMiles accounts and yet
another reason to support the team."
"Delta Air Lines has been an outstanding partner who continues
to deliver exceptional services to our fans," said Amy Sprangers, Seahawks Vice President of
Corporate Partnerships. "The 12status program gives Seahawks fans
the opportunity to enhance their travel experience while rooting
for their favorite team."
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael
Bennett appears on the 12status digital hub at
www.seahawks.com/12status, which allows 12status members to track
miles earned, keep up with perks and exclusive offers, and capture
their official 12status SkyMiles membership badge to be used for
priority boarding at Sea-Tac and for claiming limited-edition
merchandise and prizes throughout the season.
In 2015, Delta and the Seahawks celebrated the extension of
their sponsorship and Delta's status as Official Airline of the
Seattle Seahawks. Delta provides charter service for the team to
and from each road game. Delta is also represented at CenturyLink
Field with a wraparound entitlement space and the Delta Sky360
Club, which spans the entire Club Level at CenturyLink Field. The
airline also supports the team's five-state, 48-station Delta Air
Lines Radio Network.
Delta is the largest global carrier at Sea-Tac and has more than
tripled flights and destinations at its Seattle hub since 2012. Delta offers more than
150 peak-day departures to more than 40 destinations from
Seattle, and
every Delta flight from Seattle features jet
