Anyone have the delta platinum sky miles credit card? What are the pros and cons? Would you recommend for someone just starting to travel?

I'd only get it for the MQMs. I've had it for three years but only use it for the occasional personal, non-miled flight. The companion pass is tough to use. It just isn't worth the annual fee unless you're booking Corp travel on it.

I do - I was local for 7 years and my current travel client is ~90 min drive twice a week so airline points really to speak of other than personal travel.. I just put all my monthly expenses on it rather than a debit card and essentially get several free flights a year. If you're spending >20k a year on the card call the services line and ask to waive your annual fee- they've waived mine for 3yrs

And you get the free checked bags

Annual fee waiving makes it more tempting, but Delta miles just aren't worth enough for an everyday spend card / travel card (Sapphire).

The companion fare makes up for the fee. But I'm definitely going to try to get them to waive it. What do you say to them?

Agree with EY1, other airlines and cards are better value for miles

I just got it for the promo: 60k skymiles, 10k MQM, $100 statement credit, companion pass
