Value in getting the Delta Reserve?

I’m essentially trying to maximize chances of getting upgraded on a flight to Hawaii.

Award ticket from MSP - Platinum Medallion. Not a corporate ticket.

I already have the Platinum and could use the MQM

It gets you Sky Club access if you don’t already have an AXP. The card is third in the upgrade waterfall, after status and fare class.

Your issue on an award ticket is that it’s a lower fare class than anyone else, so even with the Reserve, the card would only be a tiebreaker among other Platinum Medallions on award tickets. Do you have any RUCs you can apply? On routes like MSPHNL where Delta One tends to sell out, that’s probably your best bet.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
