Our Take
The Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card offers a no-annual-fee entry point into the Delta co-branded card lineup with American Express. Its rewards structure includes double miles on Delta purchases and restaurant transactions worldwide (including U.S. takeout and delivery), while all other spending earns 1 mile per dollar. The card maintains traveler-friendly features including no foreign transaction fees and 20% back on eligible Delta in-flight purchases of food, beverages, and audio headsets, issued as a statement credit.
Where this card notably differs from its premium siblings is in its limited flight benefits. Cardholders won’t receive complimentary checked bags or priority boarding privileges that come standard with other Delta cards. This positions the Blue card as an appropriate choice for occasional Delta flyers who want to earn SkyMiles without the commitment of an annual fee, though frequent travelers might find more value in the airline perks offered by the higher-tier options in Delta’s card portfolio.
