I already have a CSR and now thinking of getting an Airline and Hotel cards. I was thinking of Delta Platinum (70k miles, 1 companion ticket/yr and 195 annual fee) and the Marriott Card (75K points)

Anyone have any thoughts?

Delta is Amex and Marriott will be Chase. Marriott offers 1 free night at Category 5 resort

I saw the Delta Amex email today also, was also thinking to go for it.

P1 - do you get a $100 statement credit every year? Or is it just the first year?

OP, if you're just getting started with CC's go for Chase cards. Look up the 5/24 rule, it'll be much harder for you to get Chase cards down the line

Ok, I’m fine by the 5/24 rule. I opened a CSR and one other card that I closed subsequently so I’m well below the 5 cards max. My credit score is above 800 and I manage my finances well (I think!)

I have a CSR and Amex Plat (I fly delta with frequent delays at my current project, so the lounge access is key for me). The Delta Amex for only $195 (minus $100 statement credit, plus MQMs, and companion pass are well worth it to me actually). Have you come across any more info to help you make the decision Op?

Yeah, I’m looking to make Delta my go to airline too. I called Amex yesterday and got more information. The last day of the offer is 4/11 so I might pull the trigger today
