I got a delta gold AMEX card, mostly for travel points. Then I realized how expensive delta flights are…did I mess up? Should I have gotten the Chase Sapphire instead?

Ugh

Yup! I have the Delta Amex Gold and hate it. But it’s ok OP! You live and learn!

Okay sweet I have heard good things about both. Thank you!

Non American here.. what makes Delta flights more expensive than say, AA or United?

You get what you pay for. Delta is the best big airline. American is last place with Spirit and Frontier

I did the promotion (initial $400 flight discount + 50k points) but now also see that DL flights are generally more expensive than AA or UA.
I might give it a year (until renewal) before I decide to cancel. I might try CSR then too.

I’m trying to stick it out through that promotion, yeah. I just feel like the perks are like not even that good!

Venture x is good too

Thank you!
