Our Verdict
Previous high on this bonus was 40,000 miles + 10,000 MQM so this is an extra 30,000 miles. Personally I still don’t think this card is worth signing up for unless you need the Delta benefits desperately. Even if you need MQM you’d be better off getting the Delta Platinum card. The only thing that really offers the $450 annual fee is the Delta Sky Club access and even then you need to be flying Delta to use it. I won’t be adding this to the best credit card bonuses, because I don’t think this is worth paying $450 on. As always if you have questions about, please read this post first before asking them.
