My thoughts
This is the sweet spot in the Delta business card lineup. The annual companion certificate is the standout perk, and if you travel with a partner even once a year, it can easily offset the $350 annual fee by itself. The $200 Delta Stays credit is another easy win. And like all Delta business cards, it doesn't count toward your 5/24 number.
How to use your points
Delta SkyMiles from this card are best used for flights on Delta and its partners. Here are some of the best ways to use them:
- Book Delta flights on delta.com — use the 15% award discount for even better value
- Use your companion certificate for a round-trip domestic flight, just pay the taxes and fees
- Book partner flights on Air France, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, and more
The best Delta business card for big Delta fans.
- Get a $2,500 MQD Headstart every year, meaning you're halfway to Silver status before you even fly
- The companion certificate can single-handedly justify the annual fee
- $200 Delta Stays credit is easy to use and offsets a big chunk of the fee
- Doesn't count toward 5/24 — a significant advantage over personal Delta cards
