Amex Platinum Delta SkyMiles any one? Opinions?

I ve been looking at my next card to get in the future Smiley Wink

 

and I been eyeing the Amex Platinum Delta SkyMiles

 

But I dont see any thread about this card

 

I like it because of the companion ticket that the gold does'nt have and the bonus miles they offer

 

"Earn 5,000 Medallion® Qualification Miles (MQMs) and 35,000 bonus miles after you spend $1,000 on your new Card in your first 3 months. In addition, earn a $100 Statement Credit after you make a Delta purchase with your new Card within your first 3 months."

 

Also I have 25ks + MR points from my Gold now. can I transfer them into miles?

IMO, it's only worth it if you value the companion pass, and will use it in place of a high $ ticket.  Before this year it was valuable for the MQM boost, especaiily with roll over.  But now that Delta has added the MQD requirement, MQM's mostly irrelevent.

I think from what you described your probably right the Platinum would suit your needs.  Yes the MR points transfer to delta skymiles and I think it actually happens in real time.

I have it but only put delta purchases on it, the main reason for having this card is the companion pass or to get the MQM bonuses if you're a high spender.
