Amex Delta skymiles

fatalflaw · ‎10-23-2013

Today I stumbled upon a fourth Delta skymiles card that I never knew existed.

http://skymilesoffers.delta.com/us_credit_card_partners_consumer_compare.php?cc=DSMCC

It has a substantially lower sign up bonus and is missing several perks of the other cards but also has a lower annual fee.

Enjoy

Discover it- $1800
AMEX Gold Delta Skymiles- $3200

This is the basic card, it only earns miles but you don't free bad or priority (which isn't really prioirty) boarding

doesn't even look like it gets free checked bags... why would one even bother then?!

It's a low cost option for people who want to get around the MQD starting in January. Spend $25K on this card and you don't need to meet MQD spend on flights for medallion levels. No use to most people who frequent Delta.

Then it's better to spend the 150$ AF for the delta platinum, as that also gets you 10,000MQM's next to nullifying the MQD requirement (by spending $25K on the card). Pretty easy to reach silver at least.

Because it's not top priority pre-group1 boarding? (Like Discover's statement credit is not cash back!)

Yes, that is nice. And the companion ticket!
