Our Take

The Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card stands out as an optimal choice for frequent Delta flyers seeking premium travel benefits with manageable costs. The card’s centerpiece benefit is the annual Delta Companion Certificate for Main Cabin round-trip flights (valid for domestic, Caribbean, or Central American destinations) received upon card renewal—a perk that can deliver significant value by essentially providing a buy-one-get-one ticket opportunity. Adding substantial ongoing value, this card also comes with a range of statement credits, including a $120 Delta Stays credit, a $120 U.S. Resy credit and a $120 rideshare credit, allowing you to easily offset the annual fee.

For travelers, the comprehensive protection benefits further enhance this card’s appeal, with baggage insurance, trip delay coverage, and car rental loss and damage insurance creating a robust safety net during journeys. These travel protections, combined with the companion certificate and generous statement credits, position the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card as a premium option for Delta loyalists.
