Delta SkyMiles Platinum
No annual fee for Additional Cards.
Credits 5
Every statement credit on this card, how often it comes back and when it resets. Together they’re worth up to $420 a year in cash credits, not counting ones you unlock by spending, points or free nights.
Every month
Up to $10/month on eligible purchases at qualifying U.S. Resy restaurants; since Sept 15, 2026 prepaid Tock reservations and deposits at U.S. venues count too.
Up to $10/month on U.S. rideshare purchases with select providers (Uber, Lyft, Curb, Alto).
Every year
Round-trip Delta Main companion ticket from the U.S. to the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean or Central America, issued in your renewal month each year; the companion pays taxes and fees of up to $80 domestic or $250 international. Basic Economy isn't eligible, and it can also cover the flight part of a Delta Vacations package. ~$200 conservative value.
Up to $150 per calendar year on prepaid hotels or vacation rentals booked through Delta Stays on delta.com.
Every few years
Either $120 for Global Entry or up to $85 for TSA PreCheck (through an official enrollment provider), once every 4 years for whichever you apply for first.

Before you apply
American Express’s application rules, as reported by people who applied. Banks don’t publish most of these. All banks’ rules
No more than two new Amex credit cards in a 90-day span. Charge cards such as Platinum, Gold and Green are left out of the count. A third credit card application within 90 days is usually turned down.
One new Amex credit card every 5 days at most. A second application within 5 days usually sits in pending until the 5 days are up.
You can usually have up to 5 Amex credit cards open at the same time. Charge cards are separate. With 5 open, new Amex credit cards get declined. Closing or downgrading one frees a spot.
