Katie's Take

Why this card might (or might not) be right for you.

Show Hide

Despite the higher annual fee, I think this holds good value — especially if you are a regular Delta flyer. The Companion Certificate alone can make it a break-even card — assuming you actually use this benefit.

It's important to note that you are not eligible for this welcome offer if you have (or have received a bonus on in the past 7ish years) a Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card. To maximize your eligibility for Delta offers, you'll want to start not with this one but with the Gold card and work your way up.
