Nice option if you want to keep a retention bonus on one of other more expensive cards and downgrade to this no fee option so they don’t take points away (fine print on these retention bonuses make you keep card additional year and your basically just buying points at 1cebr +/- depending offer)……
Would this be easier to get than the Gold? I have tried getting the gole with no luck a few times.
The retention bonus is intended for you to keep the more expensive cards. The RAT would see this as gaming. Not getting caught doesn't mean it's ok.
I don't think so. But this card is almost useless compared to other DL cards or no AF cards.
The main purpose to hold on to this card is to wait for upgrade offers to a higher card.
Just about useless. Very few purchases qualify for points - as in almost none.
Going in the shredder.
My wife applied for and received the Amex Delta SkyMiles Reserve card shortly before her Delta Platinum card AF posted. After the AF was paid, we called for a retention offer but were told there were none available so we canceled the Delta Platinum. She had that card for at least 15 years. That was a big mistake, we should have downgraded the card to the Blue Delta Amex and retained the credit history. At no AF, that was a no-brainer and a really good alternate use for this card.
Great card
Love the Delta Blue Amex design
