The point.me verdict

4/5

The Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card is the top-tier Delta business play: 15 Sky Club® visits plus Centurion® Lounge access when you fly Delta, a companion certificate up to Delta First Class, and an MQD head start. Credits stack vs the $650 fee. A no-brainer for owners pushing spend to Delta. Show rates & fees.

What we love

  • 15 Delta Sky Club® visits plus Centurion and Amex lounge access when flying Delta
  • Companion certificate valid up to Delta First Class on domestic and nearby international trips
  • MQD head start and extra MQDs per $10 spent, strong for status
  • Stacked credits help offset the $650 fee

What we don't

  • Thin bonus categories, and SkyMiles redemption rates for premium awards are on the higher end
Delta SkyMiles

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.
