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 Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card has a $650 annual fee (Rates & Fees) and is offering the following welcome bonus: Earn 110,000 Bonus Miles after spending $12,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. Offer Ends 3/27/24.

The card has lots of great perks that potentially make it worthwhile, including the following:

  • Delta Sky Club access for the primary cardmember, with the option to bring up to two guests for $50 each. Effective 2/1/25, Reserve Card Members will receive 15 Visits per year to the Delta Sky Club; to earn an unlimited number of Visits each year starting on 2/1/25, the total eligible purchases on the Card must equal $75,000 or more between 1/1/24 and 12/31/24, and each calendar year thereafter. Once all 15 Visits have been used, Eligible Card Members may purchase additional Delta Sky Club Visits (including Grab and Go) at a per-Visit rate of $50 per person using the Card.
  • A Companion Certificate upon renewal of your card every year, valid for a first-class, Comfort+, or main roundtrip ticket in the domestic US and select destinations in the Caribbean and Central America
  • When flying Delta, priority boarding with Zone 1, a first checked bag free, and 20% savings on in-flight purchases in the form of a statement credit
  • The Delta Reserve Card offers 3x miles on Delta purchases, and 1.5x miles on all purchases after spending $150,000 annually


Enjoy Delta Sky Club access with the Delta Reserve Card

If you apply for this card, keep in mind that anecdotally Amex business cards are quite easy to be approved for, and also applying for Amex business cards doesn’t count towards Chase’s 5/24 limit, if that’s something you’re worried about.

Furthermore, eligibility for the welcome bonus on this card is independent of eligibility for any other Delta Amex card, so as long as you haven’t had this specific card before, you should be eligible.


You can get a lot of value redeeming the companion certificate for first-class travel

Bottom line

This card won’t be for everyone, but if you’re a Delta loyalist who wants to earn status through credit card spend and values Sky Club access, this is a great option.

    Glad its a bus card so i can finally get below 5/24 this year. The MQMs is what makes this card decent.

  2. JohnnyN5 Guest

    @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.

    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.

    2. You spend so much onboard Delta that 20% discount is worthwhile.

    Otherwise, you are better off with AMEX Platinum.

    Important to note that Skyclub access is only available when flying Delta same-day.

  5. Elil Guest

    On the companion certificates, are the domestic flat bed Delta One's eligible? If so, it might be a worthwhile deal.

  6. Endre Guest

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

  7. Jay Guest

    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

  8. Ramy Guest

    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!

  9. gus Guest

    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.

  10. John H Guest

    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?

  11. Debit Guest

    The credit card posts had reduced considerably. Thought you moved them to YouTube. Hope that is a permanent change.
