My Take
In February 2023, American Express added a slew of benefits to this card and raised the annual fee by $100. It feels similar to the "coupon book" style of The Platinum Card® from American Express. Still if you're a Delta loyalist this card may very well make sense for you!
If you want to rack up the most Delta miles, do NOT start with this card. Currently restrictions in the fine print state that if you open this card, you'll become ineligible for the bonus offers on the other Delta consumer cards. You'll want to start with the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card and then work upward (by upward I mean increasing the annual fee) from there.
