I actually like the changes, I just applied and was approved for the Reserve card. What really sold me is the companion certificate being opened up to all the new locations that makes it a keeper card for sure. The credits are just the cherry on top now.
I upgraded to the Business Reserve, after downgrading in October. The new companion pass isn't useful to me in coach, but Comfort+ or better, extremely valuable. Delta Stays sweetens the pot. The other credits seem silly and distracting. I have shifted half of my loyalty to Alaska, but this sweetens the other side of the coin.
First of all upgrades are not available on Basic Economy bookings. You will then need to provide your SkyMiles number when you book your flight to be eligible for an upgrade if there is room available. There is more info here: www.delta.com/us/en/skymiles/medallion-program/medallion-upgrades
I had the Delta sky Miles card I travel to Asia and now they will not except sky Miles restricted area now I’m stuck with a couple hundred thousand miles
do you recommened to upgrade from Silver to Reserve? they are offering 25,000 skymiles to up grade but i think it is not enough. I just upgraged from Gold to Plat two months ago and received 10,000 skymiles.
@@dannyshepthank you. i think the benefits are similar and I don't use delta lounge at all. also you can't use upgrade benefits if you purchased the lowest fare
Can i get some opinions. I fly out of delta primarily every month for work. Do yall think i should get the gold card get the bonus, downgrade to blue, get the plat get the bonus and rinse and repeat and keep the delta reserve?
Not worth having Amex Delta Sky Miles Platinum card. You can't even visit the Airport lounges even if you want to pay $50. Not going to renew and just take the Blue.

Nice! I hope you enjoy using the card!

Lets hope they can keep the card valuable going forward.

Where are you vlogging from? It makes a difference to us, whether you're telling us about Australian CCs or American CCs or British CCs.
Its all American credit cards
How do I get the free upgrade for my Delta Platinum Card? I’m confused for that one. I just got my card.

I think the Platinum card is better value to be honest, the Reserve card is quite expensive now.

I applied the Platinum, I thought I get credit or free miles when I get one.. but I haven’t received it yet
There is a sign-up bonus but you must meet the spend requirements to actually receive the miles.
What if you have the Platnium & Reserve card do get booth MQD boost?
Im not sure to be honest, possibly, but it would be a lot to pay for the annual fees each year!
Yes you get both. If you get the Business versions of both the cards as well (all four cards), you get Gold Medallion Status

Thats fair enough! I am surprised that they dont offer any form of Lounge access with the Platinum card
The Priority Pass is useless in LAX Los Angeles, California.
To some extent that is true, there is a Be Relax Spa at Terminal one and TB international where you can get a free massage.
Nope... Canceled 2 weeks ago
Fair enough!
