✏️ My Thoughts:
Delta was recently named the #1 Airline in the US from a The Points Guy study and from personal experience, flying the airline is usually more enjoyable than flying with competitors like American Airlines and Southwest. With that, I wanted to explore Delta's credit card options.
In my research I stumbled across a card that is jam-packed with value, the Delta Skymiles Platinum Card. Despite the $350 annual fee, it carries numerous perks and benefits that far outweigh that cost. Things like free checked bags, a companion certificate, 15% off all delta flights, and more.
Stick around for this in-depth card analysis, in which I walk through the card from top-to-bottom, sharing who it is a perfect fit for. In my opinion, this beats out any competing airline credit cards, including the United line of cards. Get positive value while flying the #1 airline? Sign me up.

Although I've talked recently about how I'm not the biggest fan of the direction that AmEx is heading as a card provider - this specialty Delta card is loaded with some serious value for the right person. If you travel frequently and have a different airline card that you prefer, let me know below!

It's a solid card for a Delta loyalist like me. I recently upgraded to the Delta Reserve card though to take advantage of increased possibility of upgrades to first class or Delta One for my travels the rest of the year plus other attributes.

I appreciate this video. My airport is a Delta hub, and their marketing convinced me to upgrade my card...just before the price went up. There's enough negativity in the KZfaq space that I needed the reassurance! I'm planning to use my first companion ticket to take my husband to Oahu!

Glad you're able to put it to good use! Hopefully you have no trouble finding opportunities to take advantage of the free checked bags, discounted Skymiles redemptions for cardmembers, and other benefits throughout the year, especially living near a Delta hub. Thanks for watching.

I own the Platinum and the Reserve and have silver status just for holding the card plus two companion coupons and ride shares.

I got this card a month before they took lounge access away. I will be downgrading it.

Question. Is the free checked bag only if you use the card or is it tied to the sky miles account associated with the card?? For example, if a player 2 books a flight without player 1 using player 1's platinum, will player 2 get free checked bag??

From what I've seen, for the bag fee to be waived, the reservation has to include the cardmember's SkyMiles account number on it. Sounds like they've set it up so the cardholder has to be part of the booking. Great question.

If one who already owns the gold card wants get the platinum does the application for the platinum automatically cancels the gold card?

Well, I personally like flying Delta better than other airlines and when I came across a card that takes 15% off all flights, offers free checked bags, and a free round trip certificate annually, all for a positive effective annual fee? I thought it'd be worth sharing and I do recommend it for anyone in a similar boat. Thanks for watching!

What works for some people doesn’t always work for others. This is especially true for credit cards. This video is just an introduction of the benefits of Delta Amex Platinum card, and how it suits OP’s needs. I’m a Delta FF and personally own this card as well. I like the perks. But if it doesn’t suit your needs, that’s totally normal and okay.
