The Platinum Delta SkyMiles®
Credit Card from American
Express, is by far the best of
all Delta SkyMiles® Cards and is
designed for those who have a
very good credit history.
Cardholders receive one mile for
every dollar spent on general
purchases and two miles for
every dollar spent at
participating retailers and
merchants (including Delta Air
Lines related purchases). Twenty
thousand bonus miles are awarded
to new applicants with their
first purchase, 5,000 of which
are Base Miles to be applied
towards the Medallion Status
program for upgrade
opportunities, mileage bonuses,
and more.
Miles do not have an expiration
date (if travel is made through
Delta Air Lines at least once
every two years) and there is no
yearly limit, unlike the gold
and standard cards that do have
yearly limits (based on annual
spending).
Although the annual fee of $150
is not an attractive feature, it
is reduced to $95 for those who
already have an American
Express® Charge Card. The card
offers a very low introductory
rate of 3.90% on balance
transfers for the first twelve
months, provided the balances
are transferred during the
application process. The APR for
purchases and balance transfers
is above average for a reward
card.
Cardholders can expect many of
the common benefits and services
provided by American Express®,
such as auto rental insurance,
travel accident insurance,
year-end financial statements,
and various purchase protection
related services.
Therefore, those who plan to
spend at least $3,000 or more a
month due the card's high annual
fee, frequently fly on Delta Air
Lines, and will use the card at
participating retailers and
merchants (to accumulate
additional miles) will benefit
most from what the Platinum
Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from
American Express has to offer.
