Seeing that you do have a Delta credit card, one great feature is that EVERY major points program converts to FlyingBlue (Air France/KLM) and Virgin Atlantic, so Delta and other SkyTeam flights can be had for often much less than comparable SkyMiles redemptions (although Delta does often have wonderful fare sales). An especially good use would be buying direct flights on Delta through Virgin (connecting flights can be iffy; a BOS-JFK-LHR flight might cost twice as much as a direct BOS-LHR flight). Even Main Cabin is usually a very good deal that way; but Delta One can be an amazing value.
My Delta Platinum is actually one I plan on downgrading to the no AF version before the annual fee hits in June. The refresh isn't really worth it for me and I haven't been having the opportunity to take advantage of the Companion Pass. No need to be payong a $250 annual fee that I'm not benefitting from...
