Anyone have one of the Delta AMEX cards? Worth it? Why? Like the companion pass option, but not sure I can justify one over other premium cards (CSR, AMEX Plat)...

It’s nice if you can hit the 25k or 50k spend to get the benefit. Other than that Delta Amex cards suck now. They used to be a lot better. I don’t even use my companion pass.

I think companion pass is the only justification. Skypesos don’t have much of a benefit - you’re probably better off getting the delta card and putting your spend elsewhere

The only delta Amex worth it is the Reserve, but at a hefty annual fee the 2 justifications are skyclub access and MQM hurdle awards. Unless you fly Delta almost exclusively it’s not for everyone. The straight-up Amex Platinum gives you the Skyclub access as well as Centurion Club and Priority Pass club access. My firm reimburses one annual fee up to $500 which is why I carry both.... and my wife has a CSR, so technically I carry 3...

I don’t have a gf or friends that fly on the exact same flights as me to qualify to use it.

Super helpful, thank you. C1 - why don’t you use the companion pass? Seems like that’s an automatic benefit at renewal regardless of spend? Agreed, if you can hit the spend, the MQMs and waiver are nice. Still thinking it over — like the companion pass (assuming it’s usable) and the MQMs, though dislike the rest compared to other options...

2) Roth 401(k) up to employer match (6%)
3) Roth IRA ($500 monthly)
4) Brokerage account and 401(k)
Plan is to split extra cash between these to have better tax advantage from 401(k) but also have access to funds if needed from brokerage acct

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city.

Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
