Your call

Before you apply for the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card

  1. This card records an annual fee. Compare the value of benefits you will genuinely use against that recurring cost and a no-fee alternative.
  2. For travel rewards, test the redemption you would actually book. Portal restrictions, transfer availability and taxes can change the value of points.
  3. Treat an eligible welcome offer as first-year value only, separately from ongoing rewards. Review spend requirements and account eligibility.
  4. Compare the current purchase APR and consider how reliably you can pay the statement balance in full. Interest can outweigh rewards.
