The Delta Reserve Credit
Card, issued by American
Express®, is fit for
Delta frequent flyers
with good credit who
want to earn miles with
little effort.
Although the rewards
program offers the
standard one mile for
every dollar spent on
purchases, cardholders
will be happy to know
that they can earn two
miles for every eligible
dollar spent buying
groceries, at
drugstores, home
improvement and hardware
stores, gas stations,
and for certain U.S.
postal services.
Cardholders can pay for
all or part of their
flight with miles earned
through the Pay with
Miles option.
For cardholders who are
interested in earning
miles more speedily,
they will rack up to
10,000 Medallion®
Qualification Miles (MQMs)
after making their first
purchase with the card.
Cardholders will also
earn up to 30,000 MQMs
with Built-in Miles
Boost(SM) for spending
$30,000 in one year. If
they spend $60,000 in a
year, that will add an
additional 15,000 MQMs
and bonus miles toward
their reward account.
MQMs can either be used
towards upgrading to
Medallion® status or
passed on to friends and
family members who have
Delta SkyMiles® accounts
of their own. Every
year, cardholders will
also be awarded a free
companion certificate
for domestic travel in
either coach or
first-class.
In addition to the bonus
miles that can be
earned, cardholders will
have access to a wealth
of American Express®
benefits. Some of the
conveniences offered
include concierge
services, car rental
insurance, travel
accident insurance,
roadside assistance, and
emergency services if a
card is ever lost,
Global Assist® access,
and a year-end summary
of all account activity.
There are also a few
protection services
available to cardholders
which includes extended
warranties, purchase
return and protection,
and a fraud protection
guarantee.
For an airline miles
card, the interest rates
for this card are
somewhat above average
for purchases and
balance transfers. There
is no introductory rate
offered, but there is a
reduced annual fee of
$395 for eligible
existing American
Express cardmembers,
otherwise the basic
annual fee is $450.
Additional cards are
available, but will be
$175 for a Delta Reserve
Credit Card.
Bottom line, the Delta
Reserve Credit Card is
perfect for people who
can spend enough to
maximize the benefits of
carrying the card. An
ideal card carrier
should not have a
problem with the above
average rates and may
even take advantage of
the balance transfer
offer which is good
through the first 12
months of opening an
account.
