American Express - Delta Airlines SkyMiles

Pros: No annual fee, for the first year; Large bonus mile amount upon sign up
Cons: Not as widely accepted as Visa and MC; high fees, after first year

Over the past several years, I have used and disposed of many different credit cards. Like most people, I am attracted to a card because of some special promotional offer (like, “balance transfers at 1.9 percent for the first six months”, “no interest...

Pros: No fee for current American Express Cardmembers, 24-hour customer service, Bonus SkyMiles Offers

Pros: Friendly service, no annoying sales calls
Cons: Not accepted as widely as VISA/MC

I don't really fly much, just once or twice a year. But I would fly if I got the trip for free!! I live in a smaller town in which Delta is the main airline, so other similar cards aren't an option. And my attitude is, if I'm going to charge something...

Pros: Easy to earn miles.
Cons: Limited acceptance, bad rewards program, fees too high for basic airline mile card.

Since we are looking to relocate to another part of the country, I realized I had to look for credit cards to help offset the costs of airfare. I saw an ad on tv for the Delta Amex credit card. It was a pretty simple application to fill out. I was ...

Pros: Great customer service, double miles in gas stations and supermarkets, good bonus benefits

Pros: Miles
Cons: Service

I had and used the AMEX Delta Sky Miles Card extensively for two years and left recently greatly disillusioned. The card seemed like a great deal- earn miles while shopping for things I need and want. The cost- seemed high- I had the basic card $50...

Pros: Skymiles
Cons: a lifetime of eternal damnation

     in 2004 I took a job with a company that needed me to travel often, being I used Delta mostly it was a natural choice to jump on the AMEX Delta Skymiles card.   At first I was very happy with the arrangement, I got a ...

Pros: Free Vacation!!!
Cons: Web site is not user friendly, $85 annual enrollment, not accepted everywhere

Double miles!!

I have a brother living in Germany for the next few years (he's a helicopter pilot in the army) and I would love to go visit. What better way to see a foriegn country than to mooch off a family member. This trip is something...

Pros: Accumulate SkyMiles
Cons: POOR customer service

Because I am a delta skymiles member I received a solicitation from American Express (Amex) through Delta regarding the Amex Delta SkyMiles credit card.

The offer was simple: They would waive the first year's annual fee (of $85 for a gold...

Pros: no annual fee, free airline miles
Cons: many places don't accept Amex

I was solicited by Delta for this card by telephone. They offered me something like 5000 miles for accepting the card and 5000 more if I charged some amount within a certain time frame. Forgive me it has been a year and a half. They said I would have...

Pros: Excellent Customer Service, Delta SkyMiles that grow FAST!
Cons: Still not everywhere takes it

Just signed up for the Delta Skymiles Options Card, to audition it in Cleveland. My husband has a Corp card years ago & very few places took it. The Supervisor (Mrs Dalton) was very efficient & even had the card Airborne Express to us. It arrived 8/23 ...

Pros: Accumulating miles is definitely easy
Cons: You would likely need to use double the miles per ticket

I have had AMEX skymiles for many years. Though I have been able to use skymiles so far but it was painful. Overall its not worth having skymiles because you would very likely need to use double the skymiles (called Skychoice) for any trip within USA. So ...

Pros: Amex service
Cons: limited acceptance; fees

I used to live near a Delta-heavy airport, and had most of my miles on Delta. The affinity credit card seemed like a good way to add additional miles to that account. The problem with many people's frequent flyer mileage is that they have a little in six...

Pros: Good opportunity to get miles
Cons: Annual fee too high

Like others, I don't charge much, but I have used my AmEx Delta Miles Gold card exclusively during the past year, which is free (no annual fee) and have gotten quite a lot of miles. I will admit, I have flown twice this year, so that adds miles to my...

Pros: easy to accumulate miles fast
Cons: annual fee. amex is not accepted everywhere.

I have had the platinum amex delta skymiles credit card for several years now. You get 1 mile for every dollar purchased and 2 miles for every dollar purchased at supermarkets, drugstores, gas stations, home improvement and hardware stores, the U.S. ...
