Best for:

Delta flyers that can benefit from the annual Buy One Get One Free ticket and free checked bags.

Card Features and Benefits:

    With the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card, you'll get an annual main cabin "Buy One, Get One" companion certificate, plus your first checked bag free and priority boarding on Delta.

    The Delta Platinum Amex offers "MQM Boosts"

    This is probably the best reason to have this card, as it allows you to earn Medallion status more easily.

    You will earn bonus Medallion Qualifying Miles (MQMs) and bonus miles at tiered spending thresholds:

    10,000 MQMs and 10,000 bonus SkyMiles when you spend $25,000 in a calendar year - up to two times per year.

    Spending $25,000 in a year on this card will waive the MQDs requirement for Medallion qualification up to Platinum status.

    If you fly Delta frequently and can spend $25,000+ a year on the card, this card can help you get to the next elite level and enhance your experience. The free annual companion fare, in our experience, easily offsets the annual fee.

    Terms apply.

    Delta Platinum Amex Bonus Categories

    • Earn 3X miles on Delta purchases
    • Earn 3X miles on hotels (purchased directly with the hotel - much better than when you have to use a booking portal!)
    • Earn 2X miles at U.S. supermarkets
    • Earn 2X miles at restaurants, worldwide
    • Terms apply

    Additional Delta Platinum Benefits

    • $100 statement credit every 4 years for Global Entry or an $85 statement credit for TSA Pre✓® every 4.5 years.
    • Buy One, Get One Companion Certificate on select fares.
    • $50 Delta SkyClub per-visit lounge access for yourself and up to two guests when flying Delta.
