Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Earns miles on everyday purchases
  • Moderate annual fee
  • Rewarding perks for Delta regulars

Cons:

  • Limited redemption options outside of Delta flights
  • Requires a lot of spending ($10,000 annually) to earn the $200 Delta Flight Credit
Our take

This card is an accessible option for Delta regulars, but if you aren't loyal to Delta, other cards may be more rewarding. And, if you are a Delta diehard, there are more premium options available.
