New Delta SkyMiles Credit Card Rewards Tracking Page

I just found this and thought it was kind of neat. It's a page in your actual Delta account profile that tracks how much money your Delta card has saved you and how many miles you have accumulated with it. I've already saved a little north of $400 for the year on my Amex Delta Platinum so it has definitely paid for itself and this makes it pretty easy to make that calculation when the AF comes due.

You can find it by logging into the Delta website and then go to your profile (My Delta) page and then click the "View My SkyMiles" link and then there is a small section on the bottom right that says "SkyMiles Credit Card Rewards" that you can click on. It breaks it down all in very simple terms.

Just thought I'd share!

Apparently I have saved a big fat zero. lol. But then again, 20% inflight saving would have been 80% inflight spending....

I've questioned the usefulness of that page since they launched it last year. Direct link is here if anyone needs it: https://www.delta.com/acctactvty/loadSMCCBenefits.action

The Miles Boost progress meters at the top say they're updated monthly. Technically, that's true, but the numbers are behind a few statements. Mine updated at some point this month to my actual numbers from the 02 SEP statement. Checked bags show $50 for 2018 on this card, but $0 this year so I guess the free checked bags for international flights, First Class passengers, and Medallion members gets counted first. Certainly have used SkyClub at least 2 dozen times this year, but it appears that gaining access through Amex Platinum prevents it from counting on Delta Reserve. So yeah, "$20" this year.

It would be interesting if they actually supplied data on how many times you got an upgrade over another Medallion in the same fare class solely due to having the Delta Reserve card or for meeting the $25k MQD waiver (#3 and #5 on the hierarchal list of 6 factors used for upgrade priority).

$30 per bag - straightforward enough. I often check a bag.

$15 per "Priority" boarding is an aggressive valuation given that most people on my typical flight (between Delta hubs) have status and board before me.

It would be nice if it integrated the Sky Club access from Schwab Platinum.

Oh my numbers are wayyyy off.
1 Sky Club (I've recoup the AF several times with Sky Club this year alone)

0 Checked bags (I ALWAYS check my bag, unless I carry my keepall for overnight stays, which was only 1 time this year)

Ouch Fortified, might be a good candidate for a downgrade then?

To be fair, most of mine was a companion pass 😁

From what everyone is reporting sounds like might need to be taken with a grain of salt. I value the Priority Boarding as $0 even though they count it $15 per, I missed that they included that.

Presumably it's status saving you the bag fees, not the card. I don't have status and all my group's bags appear as "card savings".

Why would I downgrade? They are paying me to keep the Reserve card.
Im saying the numbers on the website are off.

It was for me, and yes, I will downgrade my delta gold when AF hits. I fly delta only for work, as I don't live near a delta hub. I fly with zero bags, no checked bags, no carry on bags, no personal bags, nada. So I don't really care about when I board.

Lounge is just a place I get some food to hold me over on the trip, I value that at 5 bucks per visit. I used my csR for those.
