Is 75k points sign up bonus for $2k spend over 3 months on the Delta SkyMiles Gold card a good deal?

Delta usually caps those bonuses around 75k. Sometimes they go a bit higher, but it’s rare. Once you get your bonus, you can also upgrade again for a platinum bonus of ~75k and you get a companion pass each year. I’m not convinced reserve is worth the fee, even if you travel a ton. I did this process a few years back and paid for my honeymoon flights to Italy. I’m sure there are other great options but this was great for me.

What are your other options? Take those

I have a delta miles plat. Can share link for 90k miles for $3k spend. Send me a DM if you want it. I think you get a statement credit too.
