Good way to rack up some SkyMiles!

Credit Karma Member

Got this card very recently, approved for 7.5k CL with a 694 credit score. I applied on delta when booking a trip so that offer was a $300 Statement credit and 30k bonus miles after hitting minimum spend, not a bad bonus. I easily hit the spending limit after booking the rental car and hotel stay as well as universal Orlando tickets with the card. Definitely get it if you fly delta even sometimes, and the free checked bag is for up to 9 people including yourself on the reservation. This card has Secondary CDW for rental cars, but you can pay an extra $25 for $100k in primary CDW with Amex premium rental protection, and that’s $25 flat for up to 42 days, not $25 per day. Easy bargain.

They'll take your benefits and still charge you

Credit Karma Member

I've had Delta Amex cards for years as I've always flown Delta. A few years ago I upgraded to the Platinum Sky Miles card in order to be able to access the sky lounge. This was absolutely the only reason I upgraded as I often have long layovers on work and personal travel. This year they removed this perk and when I attempted to use the Sky Club, as I had just 2 weeks earlier during travel, they turned me away and made me feel like an inferior citizen. When I got on the line with Amex I was told that I could upgrade to their next level, but this would cost me an additional 550 a year on each card. They already charged my 250 a year and 50 per visit to their Sky Club and now they want to not only act uppity like I don't deserve their Sky Club, but demand I pay more for it, both yearly and at the door? I will be reconsidering all future travel and credit purchases. I have downgraded my card to Gold because their is absolutely no use to having platinum. I will also be advocating all my family and friends to switch both airlines and credit cards as the companies obviously don't care about anything but profits.
