All We Know About the Changes
Cardholders of select Delta SkyMiles cards now receive complimentary second checked bags on eligible domestic Delta flights. The second checked bag benefit applies to:
— Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card ($0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $150.)
— Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card ($350 annual fee)
— Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card ($650 annual fee)
— Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card ($0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $150)
— Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Business American Express Card ($350 annual fee)
— Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card ($650 annual fee)
On domestic flights, Delta Air Lines’ checked bags generally cost $45 for the first and $55 for the second. You’d save $200 on a round-trip flight, and could save even more if you travel with family, friends or colleagues, as the benefit applies for up to nine passengers on the same reservation.
Enrolled cardholders of the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card and Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card receive a new $120 annual rideshare credit after card renewal, which offers up to $10 in monthly statement credits for eligible U.S. rideshare purchases with select providers.
