Our Take

This is the most premium Delta co-brand credit card, coming with a hefty $550 annual fee but a long list of benefits as well.

This card gives you free access to Delta Sky Clubs when flying Delta and also free access to the American Express Centurion Lounges when you book a Delta flight and pay with this card.

It also comes with a TSA PreGlobal Entry credit, a free checked bag, and priority boarding.

Overall this card is really only ideal for frequent Delta flyers, though the large bonus makes it worth grabbing for just about anyone for at least the first year.
