My take on the Delta credit card welcome offers

If you want to get a new Delta Air Lines credit card, now is the time.

The limited-time offers on the personal credit cards match previous best-ever offers on these cards. This round of bonuses establishes a pattern—you’re probably not likely to get a better bonus if you wait for another round of limited-time offers.

The limited-time offers on the business credit cards either match or are better than previous limited-time offers. In some cases, these bonus offers give you more miles and in some cases the spending requirement is lower than previous offers.

Personally, the offers I find most compelling are the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card, Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card and Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card offers.

The Gold cards both have a $0 annual fee in the first year (and $150/year thereafter) which massively ups the total value proposition of these cards—at least in the first year. And the personal Delta Platinum card does well when you look at the number of miles you earn per dollar spent meeting the spending threshold.

But you may not be eligible for all offers if you’ve had a Delta credit card before. Within the terms and conditions of the personal cards, you’ll find Amex lifetime family language which may prevent you from getting a bonus if you’ve ever had the same or a higher-tier personal Delta credit card.

Amex considers the Delta business and personal cards to be separate product lines when it comes to welcome offer eligibility. Having previously had a personal Delta credit card won’t impact your ability to earn a welcome bonus on a small business card and vice-versa.

Analysis: Running the numbers on the welcome offers

Because I’m a nerd, I’ve run the numbers on these new offers to get some insights about these offers. Here’s what I found:

• The Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card offers the most generous increase by percentage in the number of miles, relative to the previous offer.
• The Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card offers the biggest increase in the bonus, relative to the increase in the spending requirement.
• In terms of miles earned per dollar spent meeting the spending threshold, the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card blows all of the other cards out of the water, and the personal variants of the cards outperform the business variants of the cards.

Why get a Delta Air Lines credit card?

Welcome offers aside, there can be some good reasons to get a Delta Air Lines credit card. The best way to think about airline credit cards is as a way to buy a set of benefits and it makes sense to do that if you get more value than you’re paying in fees. With that said, here are some reasons why you might want to get a Delta credit card

You don’t have Medallion® status and want free checked bags.

Especially if you travel with a family, getting one of the Delta Air Lines credit cards that offers a free checked bag can easily pay off, especially since the benefit extends to up to eight people traveling with you on the same reservation. (Delta bag fees start at $35 each way.)

All of the Delta Air Lines credit cards with an annual fee offer a free first checked bag, but if this is your primary reason for getting a card, you’re probably looking at the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card or Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card.

You redeem SkyMiles and want a 15% miles discount

Delta offers its TakeOff 15 discount that can save you some miles when redeeming your SkyMiles® for flights on Delta Air Lines. When you redeem your SkyMiles for flights marketed and operated by Delta, you’ll get at least a 15% discount off the number of miles you’ll spend on your award ticket.

Most likely, this will be only part of your value calculation. In our estimation, it makes sense to get a Delta credit card solely for this benefit if you redeem 100,000 or more SkyMiles per year.

You want an annual companion certificate

If you regularly fly with a companion, you might be able to get substantial value out of the companion certificates offered with the higher-tier Delta Platinum and Delta Reserve credit cards.

The Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card and Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Business American Express Card both offer a Main Cabin companion certificate and the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card and Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card offer a companion certificate that can be used for First Class travel. All of these cards offer a companion certificate after your first cardmember anniversary—you won’t receive a companion certificate in your first year of card membership.

But these companion certificates come with a lot of terms, conditions, and restrictions. We’ve got an article on Delta Companion Certificates in the works and we’ll link it here when it is published.

You want access to the Delta Sky Club

The Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card and Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card both offer a limited number of visits to the Delta Sky Club each year.

Depending on your travel patterns, there may be a better way to access the Sky Club. If you travel on Delta and want Sky Club access, see our article on accessing the Delta Sky Club for more.

More about each of the Delta Air Lines credit cards

Here’s a bit more about each of the Delta Air Lines credit cards so that you can pick the card that is best for you. You can compare the benefits, rewards, and perks of all of theses cards side-by-side in our overview of the Delta credit cards.

Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card: Mediocre earnings and few benefits

The Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card is the only Delta credit card with no annual fee (See Rates and Fees) but it also offers almost no benefits. The only substantive benefit you’ll get from the card when flying Delta is a 20% savings in the form of a statement credit when you use your card for in-flight purchases of food and beverages.

When to pick this card: In most cases, you get an airline credit card for the benefits—airline credit cards typically offer less in reward value than either cash back or transferable points cards. But the Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card offers very little in the way of benefits. There’s little reason to get this card.

Annual fee: annual_fees
Foreign transaction fee: foreign_transaction_fee
(See Rates and Fees)

The Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card is the only Delta Air Lines credit card with no annual fee, but there’s very little reason to ever consider this card. Most people can get better rewards with a cash back credit card.

Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card: TakeOff 15 and a first checked bag free

If you fly on Delta a few times a year without frequent flyer status, the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card is the card you should consider. The card offers a first free checked bag benefit, plus the TakeOff 15 benefit and a statement credit for booking hotels through Delta Stays with the card.

When to pick this card: Think of the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card as a way to buy a first checked bag for you and up to 8 other people traveling on the same reservation with you. If that benefit is worth the card’s annual fee (annual_fees See Rates and Fees) then get the card. For most people, this or the Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card will be the best Delta card. However, if you can get value out of a companion certificate or lounge access, consider a higher-tier card.

How to get the most value out of the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card

• Save money when you avoid checked bag fees, thanks to the card’s first checked bag free benefit.
• Book award tickets for 15% fewer miles (on Delta marketed and operated flights) with the TakeOff 15 benefit.

Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card: A card for lounge access and Delta frequent flyers

How to get the most value out of the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card

• Make use of the card’s complimentary access to the Delta Sky Club when flying on Delta.
• Use the card’s annual companion certificate to book a ticket for a companion on a First Class, Delta Comfort+®, Main Cabin domestic, Caribbean, or Central American roundtrip flight each year.

Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card: A larger welcome offer and better rewards for business categories.

If you are a small business owner who flies on Delta a few times a year, you don’t have frequent flyers status, and you want a free first checked bag when flying on Delta, the Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card is the card to get.

When to pick this card: If you’re looking at the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card for its first free checked bag benefit, the Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card is likely a better choice. The card offers similar benefits to the personal version of the card, but you’ll get a larger Delta Stays credit (up to $150/year in statement credits) for the same annual fee.

Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Business American Express Card: A companion certificate and a larger Delta Stays credit.

You’ll get the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Business American Express Card for its annual companion certificate (awarded every year after your cardmember anniversary when you renew your card), but you might be able to get additional marginal value out of the card’s Delta Stays credit, which is bigger than the credit offered on the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card.

When to pick this card: Other than the rewards you’ll earn in a few bonus categories, the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Business American Express Card is very similar to the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card. But, the business variant offers $50 more in Delta Stays credits (up to $200 annually) than the personal card. If you use the credit, consistently, that makes it much easier to justify the card’s annual fee, annual_fees (See Rates and Fees)

How to get the most value out of the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card

• Use the card’s annual companion certificate to book a ticket for a companion on a Main Cabin domestic, Caribbean, or Central American roundtrip flight each year.
• Save money when you avoid checked bag fees, thanks to the card’s first checked bag free benefit.
• Book award tickets for 15% fewer miles (on Delta marketed and operated flights) with the TakeOff 15 benefit.

Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card: The more rewarding Delta Reserve card.

If you’re spending your way to Delta Medallion® status, the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card could be the best card for you. Like the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card, the card earns one Medallion Qualification Dollar for every $10 in purchases you make using the card.

But unlike the personal variant, you’ll earn more rewards with the Business Delta Reserve. The Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card earns 1.5 SkyMiles per dollar spent on eligible transit, U.S. shipping & office supply store purchases, plus 1.5 SkyMiles on eligible purchases after you spend $150,000 in purchases in your card in a calendar year.

When to pick this card: If you fly Delta frequently and want Delta Sky Club access, the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card is the card you want. The rewards are more generous on this card than on the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card. This could come in especially useful if you plan to spend your way to Delta Medallion® status. The lounge access, plus the card’s annual companion certificate (awarded each year after your first cardmember anniversary and good for First Class, Delta Comfort+®, or Main Cabin domestic, Caribbean, or Central American roundtrip flights) is likely enough value to justify paying an annual fee of annual_fees. (See Rates and Fees)

How to get the most value out of the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card

• Make use of the card’s 15 complimentary annual visits to the Delta Sky Club when flying on Delta.
• Use the card’s annual companion certificate to book a ticket for a companion on a First Class, Delta Comfort+®, Main Cabin domestic, Caribbean, or Central American roundtrip flight each year.
• Use your card for dining and rideshare purchases. You can earn up to $240 in statement credits each year ($20 monthly) for U.S. Resy restaurant purchases and up to $120 in statement credits each year ($10 monthly) for U.S. rideshare purchases with select providers.
• Book at least one hotel stay through Delta Stays using your card each calendar year to earn up to $250 in Delta Stays statement credits.
• Book award tickets for 15% fewer miles (on Delta marketed and operated flights) with the TakeOff 15 benefit.
