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 PreCheck/Global 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.

Benefits

Purchase Credit

Fee Credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck® after you apply through any Official Enrollment Provider. If approved for Global Entry, at no additional charge, you will receive access to TSA PreCheck.

Effective 2/1/25, Reserve Card Members will receive 15 Visits per year to the Delta Sky Club; to earn an unlimited number of Visits each year starting on 2/1/25, the total eligible purchases on the Card must equal $75,000 or more between 1/1/24 and 12/31/24, and each calendar year thereafter.

With Status Boost®, earn 15,000 Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) after you spend $30,000 in purchases on your Card through 12/31/23, up to four times per year getting you closer to Medallion Status. MQMs are used to determine Medallion Status and are different from the miles you earn towards flights. Effective 1/1/24, this benefit will no longer be available, and there will be a new way to earn toward Medallion Status with the Card. Learn more at delta.com/skymilesprogramchanges.
