Not sure if perfect fit for this bowl but thought there would be opinions, I’m missing my Delta lounge access as my travel is picking up and am considering the Amex platinum for access vs. other options - does anyone have and consider the 700 annual fee worth it? Overrated? I had chase sapphire, downgraded during pandemic and with <$200 difference, feel I need to consider Amex. Any thoughts welcome!

Delta Reserve or Delta Platinum will get you access (tho $39 for Platinum)

I just finished churning through every flavor of Amex Charge Card (except MS). I’d say worth it for sure. Will be canceling the regular Plat once the AF hits but keeping the CS Plat.

Annual fee.

If you're going to be traveling heavily with Delta you should look at the Delta AMEX Reserve.

I have am ex platinum and it’s well worth it when traveling. Also for hotels for personal and other random credits. Highly recommend

If you put your work travel on a personal card the plat would be best.. 5x points on travel and with delta cards it’s 3x and they transfer 1:1. Do you have Walmart plus, Sirius, or other benefits you already pay for that would be covered

If you travel a lot it is 100% worth it. I love going early and getting to the Sky Clubs to work for a few hours before my flight. Sometimes, if I have time before meetings and it is too early to check into the hotel, I go to the Sky Club at the destination too.

I am confused whether I should join on 30th Jan or I should talk to HR for early joining. Also, there are rumours that Indian MNCs are cancelling offer letters due to recession and hence I am scared as I don't have any other offer in hand
