I use my credit card everywhere for everything.  The points add up so quickly.  I haven't paid for an airline ticket in so long because of mileage points accumulated.  Besides the rewards you also have the guarantee of AmEx when you purchase.

We just went through a very disappointing Delta Airlines experience. So bad we are selling our Maui timeshare so we do not have to fly 15 hours to arrive at 9PM after taking off at 5:30AM EST and arrive to get the last available suite for the 2 week period we own.

We use our Delta Skymiles to fly free...

You should only carry/use this card if you intend on using the miles for international travel on a partner airline.  We used Delta FF miles to book a flight from Boston to Bali on partner airline Singapore Airlines.  We flew first class on Delta (Boston to Los Angeles) and business class on Singapore (Los Angeles to Singapore to Bali).  The business class on Singapore was far superior to the first class on Delta - night and day.  We figured if we had to pay for the business class tickets on Singapore, it would have cost us in excess of $10K, so the use of the Delta FF miles was well worth... read full review »

I've been with the program for several years now, and like it better than two others I belong to......mostly because of the double mile promotions they run every so often.  One thing that I don't like is that now you end up paying a lot more miles for the trips.  They are making it harder to travel on your miles.

The Delta Platinum American Express Skymiles card has become worth a great deal less in the past year. It is still possible to earn up to 20,000 MQM's per year if you charge $50,000.00 on the card per year. The MQM's help maintain elite status. But the redeemable miles which are earned at a rate of $1 equals one mile is not very good. AMEX use to offer 2 miles per dollar on many catagories. Now only Delta purchases equal two miles per dollar.

The biggest problem is that Delta has changed it's award chart. They have devalued the worth of a mile by requiring more miles for the same trip. A round...

GREAT WAY TO GET POINTS AND GET FREE AIRLINE TICKETS USED TO BUY PRODUCTS FOR EVERYDAY LIVING EXPENSES AND BEST OF ALL POINTS CAN BE USED FOR OTHER VACTIONS ITEMS LIKE CAR RETAL HOTEL AND MUCH MORE AND USE TO ACULMALTED POINTS THRU OTHER PROGRAMS EXCHANGABLE WITH DETLA AIRLINES

I have been using delta sky miles from american express for years. Have gotten a lot of free trips. Also got companion free trips when I do not have enough of points. So either way I am only paying for 1 fare for 2 people.

The AmEx Delta Platinum is is my favorite credit card ever.  I charge absolutely everything on it and pay it off in full religiously.  This would not be a good card for someone who carries a balance, as the interest rate is high.  Also, the only reason to have this card is if you like to travel internationally, which I do.  The reason I say this is that the annual fee for the card is $150, and Delta is about to start charging for FF miles redemption.  If all you do is fly domestic, it means the miles aren't worth much, but if you fly first class internationally, the miles are worth over a... read full review »
