Review
Created for those with very good credit, this is one of the best of the Delta SkyMiles® Cards. Earn 1 mile per $1 spent on general purchases and 2 miles per $1 spent at participating merchants and retailers (including Delta Airlines related purchases). New applicants receive 20,000 bonus miles with first purchase. 5,000 of these are Base Miles which are applied towards the Medallion Status program for mileage bonuses, upgrade opportunities and more. Miles do not expire (however, travel must be made through Delta Air Lines at least once every 2 years), earn unlimited miles. Annual fee is $150 (reduced to $95 if you already have an American Express Charge Card). The balance transfer rate is higher than average, 3.9% for the first twelve months. The APR for purchases is above average for a reward card. Benefits include travel accident insurance and auto rental insurance. This card will benefit those who spend at least $3,00 ore more a month (due to the card's high annual fee), often fly on Delta Airlines, and will use the card at participating retailers and merchants.
