Although I've talked recently about how I'm not the biggest fan of the direction that AmEx is heading as a card provider - this specialty Delta card is loaded with some serious value for the right person. If you travel frequently and have a different airline card that you prefer, let me know below!

It's a solid card for a Delta loyalist like me. I recently upgraded to the Delta Reserve card though to take advantage of increased possibility of upgrades to first class or Delta One for my travels the rest of the year plus other attributes.

I appreciate this video. My airport is a Delta hub, and their marketing convinced me to upgrade my card...just before the price went up. There's enough negativity in the KZitem space that I needed the reassurance! I'm planning to use my first companion ticket to take my husband to Oahu!

Glad you're able to put it to good use! Hopefully you have no trouble finding opportunities to take advantage of the free checked bags, discounted Skymiles redemptions for cardmembers, and other benefits throughout the year, especially living near a Delta hub. Thanks for watching.

I own the Platinum and the Reserve and have silver status just for holding the card plus two companion coupons and ride shares.

BING0! I got it originally to travel to Maui but I tested it by going to Miami first for 3 days and the Uber credits along with my Uber One worked well. I am using it to go to Vegas in a month and I am using it next at National Harbor and I used points.

I got this card a month before they took lounge access away. I will be downgrading it.

I really like it, but I don't think it offers as much "value" as the Platinum. Just comparing cost of the card vs the benefits it gives.

DO NOT APPLY. They offered 70 k sign up bonus and denied it later on because i had another AMEX card oped 5 years ago. No Lounge access. 1 free checked bag BUT !!!! it has to be MAIN CABIN NOT ECONOMY CABIN, in another words you dont get free bag ! Horrible card and i am closing it !!! Total scam..

Well, I personally like flying Delta better than other airlines and when I came across a card that takes 15% off all flights, offers free checked bags, and a free round trip certificate annually, all for a positive effective annual fee? I thought it'd be worth sharing and I do recommend it for anyone in a similar boat. Thanks for watching!

What works for some people doesn’t always work for others. This is especially true for credit cards. This video is just an introduction of the benefits of Delta Amex Platinum card, and how it suits OP’s needs. I’m a Delta FF and personally own this card as well. I like the perks. But if it doesn’t suit your needs, that’s totally normal and okay.

A great advertisement that I just took advantage on a trip to Miami for 4 days and then a cruise to the Bahamas and now I am flipping it for a trip to Vegas. I actually upgraded to Uber One because of this card

We fly with seven people. Just one flight without even using the companion certificate pays for this card. In fact, I also have the regular platinum, gold and BCP. This card by itself covers all four annual fees.

Question. Is the free checked bag only if you use the card or is it tied to the sky miles account associated with the card?? For example, if a player 2 books a flight without player 1 using player 1's platinum, will player 2 get free checked bag??
@TheRDGuarantee

From what I've seen, for the bag fee to be waived, the reservation has to include the cardmember's SkyMiles account number on it. Sounds like they've set it up so the cardholder has to be part of the booking. Great question.

Yes you would. Most places will charge you a transaction fee for paying your rent with a credit card, which is usually more expensive than the value you get by getting the miles on the purchase.
