Visit americanexpress.com to learn more.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you fly Delta frequently and want to earn toward elite status while enjoying more travel perks than their Gold card offers but don&#8217;t want to pay the high fee of the Reserve, the <a href=\"https:\/\/oc.brcclx.com\/t?lid=26746317\" target=\"_blank\">Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Platinum American Express Card<\/a> is likely the best fit for you. It\u2019s a step up in both annual fee and benefits, giving you tools to reach Medallion status faster, plus credits that can offset travel costs. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my review of the card!<\/p>\n\n<h3>Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Platinum American Express Card Overview<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oc.brcclx.com\/t?lid=26746317\" target=\"_blank\">The Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Platinum American Express Card<\/a> has an annual fee of $350. (<a href=\"https:\/\/oc.brcclx.com\/t?lid=26763172\">See Rates and Feees.<\/a>) That is a pretty high annual fee for a lot of people but I would say that if you fly the airline enough to hit their gold status then you are definitely going to want this card over their other ones as it will give you a lot of perks and make your Delta flying experience better.<\/p>\n<p>This card offers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Earn 60,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $3,000 in eligible purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership.<\/li>\n<li>3X Miles on Delta purchases and purchases made directly with hotels<\/li>\n<li>2X Miles at restaurants worldwide including takeout and delivery in the U.S., and at U.S. supermarkets.<\/li>\n<li>1x Miles on all other purchases<\/li>\n<li>Receive a Companion Certificate on a Delta Main round-trip flight to select destinations each year after renewal of your Card. The Companion Certificate requires payment of government-imposed taxes and fees of between $22 and $250 (for itineraries with up to four flight segments). Baggage charges and other restrictions apply. Delta Basic experiences are not eligible for this benefit.<\/li>\n<li>$2,500 Medallion\u00ae Qualification Dollars with MQD Headstart each Medallion Qualification Year<\/li>\n<li>1 MQD for each $20 in purchases on your Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Platinum American Express Card with MQD Boost to get closer to Status next Medallion Year.<\/li>\n<li>$120 statement credit every 4 years for a Global Entry application fee or a statement credit up to $85 every 4.5 years for a TSA PreCheck\u00ae (through a TSA official enrollment provider) application fee<\/li>\n<li>15% off award travel redemptions on Delta flights<\/li>\n<li>Up to $120 Resy credit (up to $10 monthly in statement credits)<\/li>\n<li>Up to $120 Rideshare credit(up to $10 monthly in statement credits)<\/li>\n<li>First checked back free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to Redeem Delta SkyMiles<\/h3>\n<p>Delta uses dynamic pricing for their rewards. That means that the number of points it takes to book a flight isn&#8217;t a set number. Instead, the rate varies based on the cash price of a flight. You can also redeem your points as cash at checkout at the rate of 1 cent per mile but I never find that a good redemption and only rarely ever do that. I only ever do this if I am low on points and don&#8217;t have enough to redeem a flight but want to save money off the cash price. <\/p>\n<p>The 15% off on award redemptions makes flights a lot more affordable so be sure to have your card connected to your SkyMiles account. If you are flexible with your dates, you can use their award calendar to see the best points fare as mixing and matching your dates can lead to better deals. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Delta offers a lot of award sales so keep an eye out for them. <a href=\"http:\/\/thriftytraveler.com\/nomadicmatt\" target=\"_blank\">Thrifty Traveler<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/pointmeinc.pxf.io\/Vx00kE\" target=\"_blank\">Point.me<\/a> are two good websites that can send you alerts. I find Delta miles to be the best for U.S. domestic economy and comfort plus redemptions. Unless there&#8217;s a sale, I never book for business or international flights. The redemption value is terrible. <\/p>\n<h3>Is the Delta SkyMiles Platinum Worth It?<\/h3>\n<p>For regular Delta flyers aiming for Medallion status, the <a href=\"https:\/\/oc.brcclx.com\/t?lid=26746317\" target=\"_blank\">The Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Platinum American Express Card<\/a>  is a clear upgrade from the Gold card. The companion certificate alone can offset the annual fee. Add in the TSA PreCheck credit, higher earning rates, and MQD boosts, statement credits, and the 15% off rewards and the card pays for itself. I&#8217;m a huge fan of this one. I have the business version of it as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/delta-skymiles-reserve-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">I have the Reserve for personal use<\/a> since I am heavy Delta flier but if you&#8217;re not, then get this Platinum card.<\/p>\n<h3>Pros and Cons<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Companion certificate each year<\/li>\n<li>MQD earning through card spend<\/li>\n<li>Higher earn rates on Delta and hotel purchases<\/li>\n<li>TSA PreCheck\/Global Entry credit<\/li>\n<li>Free checked bag for you and companions<\/li>\n<li>15% off award flights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Higher annual fee at $350<\/li>\n<li>No Sky Club lounge access<\/li>\n<li>Companion certificate is domestic main cabin only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center>***<\/center><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oc.brcclx.com\/t?lid=26746317\" target=\"_blank\">The Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Platinum American Express Card<\/a> is best for travelers who fly Delta often and are either chasing or maintaining Medallion status. Between the companion certificate, free checked bags, and the ability to earn MQDs on spending, it offers more than enough perks to justify the higher fee for frequent flyers. If you want lounge access or premium upgrades, however, you might want to look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/oc.brcclx.com\/t?lid=26746318\" target=\"_blank\">Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Reserve American Express Card<\/a> card instead.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/oc.brcclx.com\/t?lid=26746317\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to learn more and sign up!<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"em-optin points\">\r\n<h5>Stop paying full price for travel!<\/h5>\r\n<div class=\"optin-wrap\">\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-1\">\r\n\r\n<p>Download my free guide to points and miles and learn how to use points and miles for free travel!
