So much better then the Delta Gold
This card is a no brainer over the Delta Gold card. You can't beat the free companion certificate each year. I personally have never had any trouble with American express customer service. I love the mileage booster after you spend so much each year. The free checked bags & you can get upgraded on flights pretty easy.
Great for getting skymiles through Delta
I love this card when I travel with Delta, it gets you extra luggage and more miles. I use it to pay for all my travel expenses (including gas), and often when I go on vacation. Constantly getting miles for use is great. They also have an insurance package using this card for rental cards. If you use your card a lot and repay it quickly (above what's required) they will increase your maximum amount to fit your spending/repayment habbits -- it's help increase my credit score because it shows a much lower usage %. I've never regretted using this card.
Bad Customer service
I have been an american express customer for 11 years this is the first time I called customer service they are very bad
surprising approval!
building credit and a friend suggested this card because of the miles bonus. surprisingly approved with 627 score and limit of 1,400 (womp! wondering if starting at gold would have given a better starting limit). but i am super excited to be in the Amex family. planning to use as a charge card and pay off to hopefully get a line increase.
I got approved with 680 credit score and I'm 19 years old. They most likely accpeted me because I alrady had a regular amex platinum. I travle a lot with Delta so i figured this will help boost my miles and maybe got me upgraded on some domestic flights. I was able to get 70,000 bonus miles after spending 3k in three months. My only issue with it is that my credit limit is limited at $1400 a month so far
