Delta Gold Amex vs Alaska cards

Anyone have pros or cons of either? Found an offer for Alaska that has 60k + $100 statement credit + companion pass annually after $3k spend in 3 months. Delta Gold offer is as stated in their site. Preference would go to whichever one offers an instant card number to use, but I believe both of them do that.

Edit: am in SF with plans to take trips across US as well as up and down west coast

Depends on where you are. I’m in Portland and Alaska reigns supreme here, plus the American affiliation has gone much better than expected. The nice thing about Alaska is nobody really has status, so you get upgraded more often than with delta

Good point! Just edited the post to clarify I’m in SF. Sounds like Alaska might be a good move

As a west coaster Alaska is my favorite domestic airline and I fly it whenever possible. They fly to a ton of places from here, but if you're based in NY or DC that's a different story.

Disagree about no one on Alaska having status, though. In my days when I traveled a ton for work it was not unusual for my SEA-LAX flights to be half elite fliers (not an exaggeration).
