Why We Like This Card
This card is an exclusive tool catering to frequent flyers seeking premium travel benefits when flying Delta. With an impressive welcome offer, it's a card that rewards big spenders.
The card provides complimentary access to Delta Sky Club lounges when traveling on a same-day Delta flight (limited to 15 visits per year unless they spend $75k or more on the card per calendar year) and the Amex Centurion lounge. And with 4 one-time guest passes, this can help make the airport experience that much better.
For those focused on status, the card offers a $2,500 MQD boost, helping you reach your status goals ever so fast. This MQD boost stacks with other boosts provided by other eligible Amex Delta cards. Additionally, for every $10 spent, you earn 1 Medallion® Qualification Dollar, propelling you even closer to coveted Medallion Status.
With generous benefits on Delta flights, this card helps significantly improve the overall flying experience. Cardholders get a 15% discount on award travel, upgrade priority, and access to the upgrade list for non-Delta status members.
To help offset the annual fee, there are several great features. These benefits include an annual Enjoy a Companion Certificate on a First Class, Delta Comfort+®, or Main Cabin round-trip flight to select destinations each year after renewal of your Card, with only taxes and fees to pay. Other enticing new perks include a $240 Resy Credit (up to $20 per month on eligible Resy purchases) and a $120 Rideshare Credit (up to $10 in statement credits on U.S. rideshare purchases), offering monthly statement credits that cater to dining and transportation preferences.
Despite its hefty annual fee, this card offers a slew of benefits (that aren't all covered here) that might be worth considering for some frequent flyers.
