What's up everybody welcome back to the channel. Today's video is going to be talking about the new benefits of the Delta SkyMiles platinum car by American. Express, let's go right into this video alright. So if you are somebody who really loves Delta SkyMiles, you are a Delta flyer.

This card is really perfect for you, especially for the annual fee, so the annual fee is two hundred and fifty dollars, but I definitely feel and believed that should get the value out of this card. Okay, so let's get right into what the card offers. So first you're going to be eating three miles per dollar when you are booking flights with Delta or Delta Vacations, which is pretty good again, like I said, if you are adults, a lover three miles per dollar is pretty good and also for Delta vacation purchases as Well, you're gon na get two miles per dollar at US. Restaurants, I'm sorry US, supermarkets and restaurants you're going to be getting priority, boarding which comes with the gold card and also the Platinum Card, the sky mouse cards you're going to be getting TSA PreCheck.

Your first check bag is going to be free. You are also going to get a companion pass after your first anniversary date, and let me tell you about this one. I think this one is the biggest perk for this card. That is awesome.

It's going to be no more than $ 75, which is taxes and all that stuff. So dude I was welcoming two companion passes. You got two different types. You got a companion pass that you know you kind of get from something like this and then you have a companion pass.

If, like you know, you have a flight attendant friend or husband, wife, or something like that and you're. Actually ordinary companion pass and you kind of fly for free forever for as long as they aren't working there and you're their companion pass. So this was a little different you're, not flying free forever, but you do get one companion pass per anniversary year. So it's not going to be the first year, but after you pay that annual fee again, you will now get a companion pass.

So what happens is if you're flying to, let's say from Philly to Las Vegas, and you want to take somebody with you all. You have to do with that person is paid taxes, which is no more than 75, which is pretty awesome, you're also going to get. If I did not mention the TSA PreCheck Global Entry, every four and a half years, it's only going to be one credit given to you so definitely useful. If you were someone who likes to get past, you know TSA PreCheck.

If you want to get past those lines, I don't think it's tough. You will now get past those. You also get Delta lounge access, which is $ 39, which honestly, I don't say I would not say, is the best, because the American Express Platinum Card just a general one. You can get them for free by yourself without paying anything as long as you're flying dutchess.

So paying almost $ 40 to get into Delta Sky Club. I don't see a my opinion not worth it. I wouldn't recommend you spending 40 bucks. Do that you might just go to a restaurant that you know you're gon na, like you know, you're gon na, like the food that they have to offer before you get up in there and some think is worth it.
The only thing I would say would be worth it is honestly when you're going to the bar - and you know you're gon na rack up - maybe uh some drinks, then you know it might be worth to go there for 40 bucks, but other than that you're. Just getting something to eat what movie just go there for 40 bucks? No, you also get 20 % off of in-flight purchases, so you're buying something on the flight. Let's say some drinks, some food, some accessories. You get 20 % off your purchase, which is not bad.

So you get that you also get trip delay, which is good as long as you book around trip itinerary on this car, you would get trip delay and what that is. Is you know, let's say something: crazy happens to your fly. It again something out of your control that you can handle, you will be covered, you'll also get a baggage insurance as well, which is really great. So you know these are the general perks and the pretty pretty normal perks that they have.

I think the car and honestly for 250, it is worth it. I think something that really stands out with this is the companion pass. I also love the Global Entry. The companion pass to me of those that is the biggest /, the biggest perk.

It stands out tremendously. You get a lot of value if you're, you know trying to get a flight, maybe during a busy season and the flights cost $ 300 round-trip per person. And you know you got to pay your through hundred for your yourself and then you got to pay 300 for the next person. Well, now you got to keep in pass, that's only 75 bucks.

You got to pay you just you know you just save two hundred and twenty-five dollars. That's almost the annual fee right there, not to mention all the other perks that it kind of gives to you so definitely like in the upgrade to the car, not to mention the card is the metal. Now, I'm not sure, because I don't have a car myself. I actually have the adults a gold card, but if you do have to dull so the new American Express Delta SkyMiles Platinum Card, you can tell me if you can compare how thick it is compared to the American Express Platinum Card, but yeah it is metal.

So you know you're somebody who wanted to walk around with a metal card if it made a difference to you if it stands out, which it definitely does - and I know we don't like to admit it, but it definitely makes this kind of the car look kind Of cool you know it's a big part too, so you know the card meadow as well, so that's really good. The Ducks a Platinum Card is metal and also the reserve card, which is the top, the tier, the top tier of the American Express Delta SkyMiles cards. So that is the new benefits of the Delta platinum card from American, Express I like the card, I would definitely say at the end, regardless of what I feel about the Delta Sky Lounge, not paying $ 40. I don't think it's worth it unless you're going to be racking up - oh maybe drinks and stuff, like that.
I think this card is really worth it. I think you can get positive value out of this. I'm thinking about getting this car not too sure. I'm okay with my dulcis SkyMiles gold card right now.

That's just me, I'm perfectly fine with it I may apply, or maybe yeah I probably apply within the next maybe year or so after I kind of get it from it and see how my other people who have the car, I don't know, I'm not a couple. People who have the car I want to see how they kind of get value from it, and you know kind of go from there. But if you guys are interested in any American Express card or a brand or a --, they you know Delta SkyMiles card, definitely make sure you apply below. One thing I didn't talk about was the signup bonus.

I really wanted to talk about the perks, but the sound of bonus right now is a hundred thousand okay, so you have to spend so you get eighty thousand if you spend a certain amount of money in a certain amount of months and I'll put that right Here for you guys and check that, but you get an extra twenty thousand points if all you do is keep the car for an extra year. So all you got to do is to meet that minimum spin. I believe it might be four thousand or five thousand and three months or something like that, but I'm gon na put the screenshot right here just in case I was wrong and then you get an extra twenty thousand points after your year anniversary dates. So a hundred thousand points, a hundred thousand Delta SkyMiles.

Let me actually be clear one hundred thousand dr. sky bombs, which, in my opinion for the first year, is extremely worth it. You can get a couple round trips with that. Honestly, especially, you know with Delta SkyMiles.

They kind of they're tricky. I was able to find a round-trip from Philadelphia to Mohammed's for twenty thousand sky mouse, which was was crazy, but yes, ridiculous right. So you can really find some value, I think, with Delta SkyMiles. You just really have to be patient and be flexible with your dates, but I mean with all those perks and that huge signup bonus for the sky mouse extremely worth it alright guys.

So you found this video helpful. Definitely make sure you subscribe and again, if you wanted to get this card, definitely support the channel by applying with the referral link in the description of this video, I would greatly appreciate it and let me know what you guys think about the Ducks of platinum card. Do you think it's a go? Do you think it's a no go and if you have it, why do you have it tell me the perks and benefits, for you have a good one and I'll see you.

    I just upgraded from the gold to the platinum

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 1990Ravens says:

    So I have a job that requires me to travel twice a week including overseas a couple of times a year. I currently have the delta gold card. Should I upgrade back to delta platinum and get the Amex platinum for lounge access?

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kendrick wright says:

    I have the card, nice-looking ,love the perks. Metal card. Amex did there thing .

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars juan martinez says:

    Prequalified for this card. Experian score is 682. Does your score need to be higher for the platinum?

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars vickersfan says:

    Just got it for the companion pass. They offered the reserve but no way was I going to pay $550. Oddly enough they wouldn't let me upgrade my gold 😅

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rob Urb says:

    I have the Delta Reserve and Platinum, both keeper cards for me. I am in favor of raising the Sky Club fee, it reduces the overcrowding that has occurred lately. I don't use this card at all, only have it for the companion pass. As a Delta PM or DM member, this is equivelant of a C+ ticket with chance of a FC upgrade. I used the Main Cabin pass and immediately upgraded to C+ and then for a trip I take tomorrow I was upgraded to FC 4 days out. So, that ticket was effectively a FC ticket for me. As long as I am a PM member, I will keep the card. And, don't be fooled into thinking MB1 is priority boarding, it is definitely not.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars E-double Da GI bandit says:

    I have the delta reserve business metal card but this platinum seems like the better card for the value might downgrade

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Evert Abrego says:

    I have the delta gold card and I applied for the delta platinum card @ the $195. AF. My wife also got it the same day. We have two kids so those companion passes will definitely help for fily vacation. Also the Amex platinum still feels for metal than the Amex and heavier. But the new delta metal is a sort of unfinished metal. Feels rough which is very authentic feel to it. Great video

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ThatCho says:

    Thanks for the review. Definitely will apply for this card. The companion pass has an immense value for those couples traveling together. Can you use the companion pass multiple times per year or just once?

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Byron Watson says:

    If you have the Amex Plat card can you get into delta lounges with guest for free?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 2808 Heavy says:

    The companion fair alone makes this card a keeper as you should always be able to get more than $250 from a RT ticket. It's nice that it does have some travel protection…sucks that Amex seems to cap their travel protection to 2 claims per year on just about all of their cards. If you spend a lot of time on American Airlines metal you'll understand why 2 claims per year from trip delay just ain't enough. Hell, American leads the way in trip delays but unfortunately I live in a hub city and if you're going anywhere chances are you'll be on their metal.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Credit Card Hook Up says:

    I don't have a scale to know the difference, but it really feels awfully close in weight.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Travel and Invest says:

    I got the card last year solely for the sign up offer. I used it to go to Brazil (70k miles). You can check out highlights of that trip on my channel. Enjoy!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shawn Vire says:

    You should do a livestream you put out very good content into the gold too!!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Jones says:

    Great content and info!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars hip2dadip says:

    I have the Delta SkyMiles app and I'm a loyalty member but don't have any Delta cards just yet. I plan on transferring AmEx MR points to Delta💳

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D. Anderson says:

    That's my card✈💳👍👍👍👍😎
