Delta SkyMiles Credit CardThe Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card rates the same as the American Airlines card but you add up double points faster for everyday shopping. With this card you earn at least 1 SkyMile for every eligible dollar that you spend like you do with most but you also get the prestige of carrying an American Express card which is always the most classy way to impress that date or business client. American Express recently made the Delta Skymiles card more tempting with bonus miles for additional cardmembers and fee-free for the first year.
New Pay with Miles feature. Now your customers can redeem miles for any Delta seat, any time at Delta.com. Pay with Miles is an exclusive new benefit for Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Cardmembers that goes above and beyond to help ensure that your customers' miles work the way they want them to pay for all or part of the fare with miles and put the rest on the Card; shoppers can start redeeming at just 10,000 miles. Do you own a small to medium sized business? You can now get the business version of the Delta Skymiles card fee free for the first year and earn an additional 15,000 points on top of the personal card points you earned if you applied for that card. Why not double up on the points and get both cards? The Delta Skymiles Business card from American Express also gives you the benefit of OPEN for Small Business where you can save 5% at Courtyard Marriott locations and Fed Ex Kinkos. If you do not mind paying a steep annual fee of $450 then the next card presents itself a better way to earn Medallion Qualifying miles. Delta Reserve from American Express is different than the Platinum Delta SkyMiles Credit Card because some people just simply prefer their annual travel voucher to be in First-Class. With this card you can earn up to 10,000 Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) after your first purchase. My favorite bonus is an annual companion certificate good for either First-Class or Coach-Class domestic travel.

654 Consumer reviews of Delta Skymiles: Delta Airlines is my standby with a great volume of flights to choose from both domestically and internationally. My favorite destination is France and my preference is to fly with the national airline of the country where I will be vacationing. Delta makes this easily possible, all with skymiles that easily transfer to Air France. The same would be true with most travel destinations. I find the Delta agents consistently friendly and helpful. Most flights are timely and clean. Delta's safety record is excellent -- and after all, really getting there is what it is all about! But getting there in the style you choose takes Delta and its myriad partners one step beyond.
