Is it worth getting the delta platinum Amex? Welcome bonus is 80k miles which is pretty damn substantial

Only reason to get Delta Plat over Amex Plat would be if you’re gonna need the extra MQMs from putting normal spend on the card.

Was more valuable last year when $25K spend got you Diamond...need $250K now

Think it’s definitely worth it. The companion certificate itself pays for the card fees.
