In response to "what is the value of having a delta branded credit card in this new world order? -- nm" by 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈

If you don't fly frequently/have status, the cheap-fee Delta card still has a free check bag I think? And perhaps a slightly better boarding group?

I haven't verified if those benefits still exist.

The other DL AMEX cards? I can't see any real benefit. Mine is almost certainly being downgraded to the lowest level if not totally canceled. (Not out of anger or spite, it's just not worth the fee anymore and I can get much better return by using other cards)

You do get spending dollar credit but it’s like 10/1 or 20/1 depending on card. -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 10:07 3
- Right, but that ratio is 100% not worth it. Just use a cash back card and use that cash back to book a first class ticket instead. -- nm* - ty97 Sep 14, 10:10 2
