Thanks to Deltas recent changes, this cards value diminished greatly. No MQM bump after a certain spend threshold anymore bc they made it all about MQD...and the paltry amount they provided doesnt make this card worth it anymore. Go get the American card. Their program lets you hit status much easier than Delta now.

Great bonus, companion pass pays off the annual fee

Seconds for approval. 0 collections, 0% credit usage, total of cards 6, all high limits. Experian pull. No point hit yet. 781 Experian 760 trans, 753 equifax. Low limit of 10k. Only disappointment in the limit. All my other cards are 15k +

First off, solid card as far as airline cards are concerned. Being able to upgrade with miles at a discount is nice and the extra/free bag is great. Biggest perk that covers the annual fee is the companion certificate. That alone covers the cost, everything else is a bonus. Don't need to fly more than 2-3 times a year to make it worth it if you know what you are doing.

The process was very simple and smooth!

I recently applied for this card to hit the 90,000 SkyMiles bonus you can receive through a referral. Just like the Gold card you earn 2x on Dining and at Supermarkets, but you also get 3x with purchases directly through delta and you get a status boost if you can charge $25k on the card in a year. You also get an annual companion pass where someone special can fly with you once a year in coach for free. So my wife won’t be paying for a plane ticket from now on.

Credit Karma said I have a poor chance of approval. And I have a 755 credit score. I didn’t let that stop me I applied for the AMEX Platinum Delta SkyMiles Card, and got it. Less than 30 seconds later.

I went to the Amex website to see if I pre-qualified for any cards. I was approved for this card. So far I really like it. It does have an annual fee. Amex pulled Experian.

Prequalified via Amex w/709 EX FICO, 721 TR, and 728 EQ, 12% utilization w/four missed payments dating back to 2017.

I've had this card for a few years. I have enough points to cover a 1st class round trip to Hawaii every year and the companion cert makes this a no brainer. Well worth the $250 annual fee. I use this as my everyday day card and pay off the balance every few days, points really rack up quickly. Once when I was stranded in a foreign country (in Europe) last year, I called their number. They removed my limit on the card until I let them know I had returned home safely. Excellent service.
