Which Delta American Express card Is Best?
There are offers on all “flavors” of the card (except the Blue), including the Gold, Platinum and Reserve. If you’re finding yourself short of Skymiles, then this could be good news.
Delta Gold SkyMiles personal card offer
Offer details:

- Earn 2x miles on Delta purchases, 1x on all other purchases

This is a great card to pick up if you want SkyMiles for no out of pocket cost. You may not be eligible for the welcome offer on the Delta Gold card if you’ve ever had the Platinum personal or Reserve personal.

- Earn 2x miles on Delta purchases, 1x on all other purchases

This welcome offer is worth at least several hundred dollars, in my opinion. You may not be eligible for the welcome offer on the Delta Platinum card if you’ve ever had the Platinum personal or Reserve personal.

Delta Reserve card offer
- Earn 70,000 bonus miles after you spend $5,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership
- Delta SkyClub access for the primary cardmember when traveling on Delta flights. (Starting Feb 1, 2025, you only get 15 visits per year unless you spend $75K/calendar year on the card, in which case you get unlimited visits.
- Earn 1 Medallion Qualifying Dollar (MQD) per $10 spent
- $650 annual fee
- Earn 2x miles on Delta purchases, 1x on all other purchases
- 15% off Delta-operated award flights
- Complimentary first checked bag on Delta flights
- Annual companion certificate for main cabin or first class fares (some restrictions)
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.

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 $650.

I’ve had both a personal and a business Amex Delta card, but probably not one of the above. Can I get the bonus on a new variety of Delta card?
Yes – you can get a welcome offer on every kind of Amex / Delta card once, and each type of card is a different card
Currently bonus available on Delta card ??
Yes – there are currently all-time high bonuses on many of the Delta cards, through next week
Flew BCN-EWR-ATL on United recently in business for 80,000 miles. I could have flown Delta non-stop for ONLY 325,000 miles. That would have taken a bunch of Amex cards and a ton of spending so what’s so great about those offers?
Yeah – Delta longhaul flight prices have gotten ridiculous. I still find a bit of value for them with shorthaul flights
