Get New Benefits with Your Delta SkyMiles Card

Delta and American Express increase the value of the Delta SkyMiles card for both existing and new cardholders.

As of last month, qualifying cardholders now receive a complimentary second checked bag on domestic, Delta-operated flights. Some will now additionally receive $120 in rideshare credits after card renewal. The cards themselves have also been redesigned.

What’s the reason for the change? This summer, American Express and Delta celebrate 30 years of collaboration.

“This is what our partnership with Delta does best: bringing together our strengths to deliver more value across the full travel journey,” explained Jon Gantman, executive vice president, cobrand products and new product development, American Express. “From getting to the airport to stepping on the plane, we’ve worked together to add meaningful benefits like rideshare credits and a second checked bag — so our shared card members get more value along the way, without increasing annual fees.”

“Over 30 years, Delta’s partnership with American Express has grown into one of the industry’s strongest because it’s grounded in what customers value — premium experiences and real, everyday benefits,” added Dwight James, senior vice president, customer engagement and loyalty, Delta. “Together, we’ll keep evolving the card experience in ways that make travel feel simpler and deliver real value to our members in the moments that matter.”
