Pros

  • Access to Delta Sky Clubs when flying the airline
  • A companion certificate that can be used for a domestic first-class, Delta Comfort+ or main cabin round-trip flight
  • Earn Medallion Qualification Miles toward elite status through spending

Cons

  • Steep $550 annual fee
  • Limited earning rates apart from Delta purchases

Who is this card good for?

This card was made especially for frequent Delta flyers since it confers access to Delta Sky Club lounges to the cardholder when flying Delta. Folks with the card can also earn MQMs toward elite status through spending, and even receive an annual companion certificate annually, good for one round-trip domestic itinerary in Main Cabin, Comfort+ or first class (you just pay taxes and fees on the second ticket).

Earning Rewards

The Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex earns 3 miles per dollar on Delta purchases made through Delta and 1 mile per dollar on all other eligible purchases. After you spend $150,000 on your card in a calendar year, you earn 1.5 miles per dollar (that’s an extra half mile per dollar) on eligible purchases the rest of the year.
