Should you get a Delta SkyMiles business card?
The Delta SkyMiles® business cards from American Express offer something for every level of Delta fan — from casual to die-hard. The key to squeezing value out of these cards: You must fly with Delta.
For most entrepreneurs, the Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card will hit the sweet spot. You can net a cache of bonus miles (90000) and avoid an annual fee in your first year ($0 intro for the first year, then $150). Terms apply.
The annual fees are harder to justify for the Platinum and Reserve business cards unless you’re a Delta regular and will take advantage of other card perks. Otherwise, consider a general business travel card.
For instance, the Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card lets you earn rewards no matter the airline. You’ll still get a stellar welcome offer: Earn 100,000 bonus points after you spend $8,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. But you’ll have more redemption options and a lower annual fee ($95).
