Our Take

TPG Editor‘s Rating

Card Rating is based on the opinion of TPG‘s editors and is not influenced by the card issuer.
3.5/5

Overview

This card’s most exciting perk is access to Delta’s relaxing Sky Clubs* and Amex’s swanky Centurion Lounges when flying Delta. If you’re hoping to reach Medallion status, this card can be a tremendous asset in your wallet, too. Cardmembers earn 1 Medallion Qualification Dollar (MQD) for every $10 spent on the card and receive a one-time deposit of 2,500 MQDs each year. *Reserve cardmembers will receive 15 visits per year to the Delta Sky Club; to earn an unlimited number of visits each year, the total eligible purchases on the card must equal $75,000 or more.

Pros

  • Delta SkyClub access when flying Delta
  • Annual companion ticket for travel on Delta (upon renewal)
  • Ability to earn MQDs through spending
  • Various statement credits for eligible purchases

Cons

  • Steep annual fee of $650
  • Other Delta cobranded cards offer superior earning categories

Who is this card good for?

This card was made especially for frequent Delta flyers. Access to Delta Sky Club lounges when flying the airline is a huge plus, as is the ability to earn MQDs through spending. Throw in its annual companion certificate, which is good for one round-trip itinerary in select Main Cabin, Comfort+ or first-class fares (plus taxes and fees), and you’re looking at potentially thousands of dollars in value each year.

Earning Rewards

The Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex earns 3 miles per dollar spent on eligible purchases made directly with Delta and 1 mile per dollar spent on other purchases.
