The Delta SkyMiles Reserve Business American Express Card is American Express’ most-premium co-brand small business Delta credit card. The card is rich in benefits; however, it comes with an annual fee in line with what you’d expect from a card with so many features.

The credit card posts had reduced considerably. Thought you moved them to YouTube. Hope that is a permanent change.
My experience - they gave me a ridiculously low credit limit (I have an excellent score), making maximizing the annual benefits very tricky / ive read similar stories online.... anyone else have this problem?
If you don't fly Delta much, you're essentially just buying 70k DL miles for $450 and an Experian inquiry - which is a good deal, but also not one that one needs to jump on.
Is the card still worth it if you have the Amex Platinum? Given I already have access to Delta Skyclubs. Is the companion certificate alone worth having the card?
Thanks!
If I applied and was approved for two other Am Ex business cards within the past 90 days, will I still be able to be approved for this card? I'd have to wait until mid December for the 90 days to pass. Thanks
On the companion certificates, are the domestic flat bed Delta One's eligible? If so, it might be a worthwhile deal.
Important to note that Skyclub access is only available when flying Delta same-day.
@Ramy
Only 3 reasons to get this over AMEX Platinum (Biz or Personal)
1. You 'need' the MQM.
2. You have a use for the companion certificate, but you must book in the lower (cheaper) fare.
3. You want the signup miles.
And 2 very unlikely reason.
1. This is your only way of getting the 1 free checked bag. Which for many who is looking at this card and make this card worthwhile probably got free bags already.
2. You spend so much onboard Delta that 20% discount is worthwhile.
Otherwise, you are better off with AMEX Platinum.
@Elil yes, but only within certain fare class. For First/Business/DeltaOne the fare must be A or I (basically the discounted fares)
I've used it plenty of times for both econ and premium, just need to time things right to get those fares.
Glad its a bus card so i can finally get below 5/24 this year. The MQMs is what makes this card decent.

I fly Delta One using cash. I don't need to accumulate skymiles.
