Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Gold American Express Card overview<\/h2>\n

The Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Gold American Express Card<\/a><\/span> provides valuable elitelike benefits at an affordable price point for casual Delta flyers. These benefits, which include a first checked bag free and priority boarding for you and up to eight travel companions on your reservation when flying Delta, can easily justify opening and keeping this card, especially for infrequent flyers looking to save on Delta travel. Card rating*: \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Card rating is based on the opinion of TPG’s editors and is not influenced by the card issuer.<\/em><\/h6>\n

Delta offers multiple card options, but Delta SkyMiles Gold American Express Card<\/a><\/span> is probably the best option for the occasional Delta flyer.<\/p>\n

It packs in a lot of perks for a low annual fee \u2014 $0 intro annual fee for the first year, then $99 after that (see rates and fees<\/a>).<\/p>\n

However, in September, Delta announced major (negative) changes to its SkyMiles loyalty program<\/a>. So make sure to read our guides to how they are changing elite status requirements<\/a> and lounge access benefits<\/a> before deciding to apply for one of their credit cards, especially the higher-tier ones.<\/p>\n

You need a credit score<\/a> of 670 or higher to be approved for the card.<\/p>\n

Here’s everything you need to know about the card and why it might be worth getting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Delta SkyMiles Gold Amex welcome offer<\/h2>\n

The Delta Gold Amex has an offer of 40,000 bonus miles after you spend $2,000 in purchases on your new card in your first six months of account opening.<\/p>\n

TPG’s valuations<\/a> peg Delta SkyMiles<\/a> at 1.2 cents each, making this welcome bonus worth roughly $480.<\/p>\n
