The Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card doesn't offer free checked bags of priority boarding, but it earns 2X miles on eligible purchases made directly with Delta and at restaurants worldwide, plus takeout and delivery in the U.S., and 1X miles on all other eligible purchases. Although the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card is also a great card, chances are you won't want it if you're purchasing a Basic Economy ticket. With an annual fee of $650, you get luxe benefits like Delta Sky Club access, a path to Medallion status, and an annual companion certificate on a Delta First, Delta Comfort, or Delta Main domestic, Caribbean, or Central American round-trip flight each year after renewal of your card.
