Anyone use the AmEx Delta Reserve card? Do you find the perks (especially the MQM bonuses) to be worth giving up the 2x points at restaurants/markets that the Delta Platinum card offers? Thinking of upgrading, but I’m worried it would be a net-loss on overall points.

I have the CSR and the Delta Reserve. I only use the Delta Reserve for non-dining and non-travel purchases. The CSR redemption options are much valuable for those.

My opinion is that if you fly enough and like to eat/drink beforehand then the card basically pays for itself with the lounge access. You can probably do the math to see if it’s worth it for you. Upgrade priority is a major perk for me as well, although it’s hard to measure this benefit.
