My thoughts
This is the top of the Delta business card lineup and it's built for die-hard Delta loyalists. The Delta Sky Club access is the biggest perk. You also get Centurion Lounge access when flying Delta, which is even better. The companion certificate on this card is better too — it covers First Class and Comfort+ in addition to Main Cabin, which makes it more valuable than the one on the Platinum Business card. Add in the $2,500 MQD Headstart, the $250 Delta Stays credit, the Resy credit, and the rideshare credit and there's a real case to be made that the $650 fee is justifiable for frequent Delta flyers. And of course, it's a business card, so it doesn't count toward 5/24.
How to use your points
Delta SkyMiles from this card are best used for premium cabin flights and upgrades on Delta and its partners. Here are some of the best ways to use them:
- Book Delta First Class or Comfort+ flights using miles
- Use your First Class companion certificate — taxes and fees only for your travel companion
- Book partner flights on Air France, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, and more
- Use the 15% award discount to stretch your miles further on Delta flights
The ultimate Delta business card for the traveler who flies Delta frequently and wants every possible perk.
- Delta Sky Club + Centurion Lounge access when flying Delta is a premium lounge combo
- The First Class companion certificate is much more valuable than the Main Cabin version on the Platinum Business
- $2,500 MQD Headstart means you're halfway to Silver status every year before you even fly
- The $650 fee is steep but the credits ($250 Delta Stays, $240 Resy, $120 rideshare) add up fast
- Doesn't count toward 5/24 — a huge advantage for anyone managing their Chase card strategy
