The main perk of this card is Delta SkyClub access, but at a significant annual cost. It makes way more sense to pick up the card, however, than to simply buy a lounge membership, if that is something you would normally do. Just keep in mind that Delta is changing the way that SkyClub access works, so unless you’re a big spender, you may be limited to only 15 visits per year. If you book paid first class fares, the companion certificate is also very valuable. This is definitely a card for the elite Delta flyer, unless you’re just eyeing the welcome offer worth at least several hundred dollars in my opinion.
Which one is best?
This all really depends on which you’ve had and what your plans are. Remember that American Express has a once-per-lifetime rule for their card products. As I’ve had every version Gold and Platinum cards, both personal and business, I’m only eligible for the Reserve. The fee is the huge turnoff, although this offer is amazing. If I knew I’d be flying Delta as much as I did last year for work, I might bite the bullet and jump on it.
If you’re looking for an entry-level card with a solid bonus, the Gold is for you. If you’re already a Delta flyer and don’t have the Platinum, that one is probably the better pick if you can use the annual certificate. If you fly Delta weekly for work and don’t have the Reserve in your wallet (or some other option to access a Delta lounge), it might deserve a place. You could definitely eat and drink back that $550.
