@StephenH  having to commit to one airline for the credit IMO is kind of a drag... but in reality the credit req. helped me just pick something and be done with it... I may have never chosen an airline otherwise.

I actually got some of the delta credit last year for something small.. I think that it was the cost of a guest into the Delta Lounge somewhere. I apparently could go in free due to the platinum, but despite us having 1st class tickets, that alone didn't include gratis entry for my companion.

@Eagered2succeed  ah.. I browse the assorted bloggers every now and then but tend to just visit here instead.

Only on same-day international flights operated by Delta or their partners.

So what you're really saying is AMEX cares so much about their members that they can no longer allow them to slum it in the skies.  LOL

Spirit and (to a lesser extent) Southwest are still eligible airline choices.

i had been wondering how i'd use the credit outside of the refunding of the fees you pay when you use your delta miles to book a flight, but this is actually pretty nice!

I was delighted they picked up the cost of entry.

I refresh the perks and such a little during planning but the Delta lounge was a gift not even considered until that day. I'd even forgot that my card included my entry until the host mentioned it.
