The point.me verdict
The Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card is barely a card, its $0 fee buys almost nothing, not even Delta's 15% award discount. Don't open it new. It works mainly as a product-change landing spot for existing Delta cardholders who've cooled on the program but want to keep their account history alive. Show rates & fees.
What we love
- $0 annual fee keeps a Delta account open cheaply
- Useful as a product-change destination to preserve card history
What we don't
- Almost no benefits, and ineligible for Delta's 15% award discount
- Not worth opening new
Delta SkyMiles
Delta SkyMiles can be used across more than 20 airlines, with the bulk of that network made up of fellow SkyTeam members. Beyond the alliance, Delta also maintains relationships with several non-alliance carriers, such as LATAM and WestJet, which rounds out the program's redemption options and gives members added flexibility when booking award travel to destinations SkyTeam alone doesn't cover well.
