Is buying SkyMiles worth it?

Delta miles tend to be worth 1.2 cents each, outside of promotions and oddly priced flights. That means if you start with no miles and purchase enough miles to pay for an entire ticket, you’ll end up paying more than double the regular cash price.

Is it worth joining Delta SkyMiles?

Like all airline and hotel currencies, Delta SkyMiles are a relatively poor store of value, since their issuer frequently devalues them by making a given redemption more expensive. Delta also does not publish an award chart with fixed prices in miles. Flying when demand is high will cost you more.

Is Delta extending Sky Club membership?

All Delta Sky Club Individual and Executive Memberships active as of March 1, 2020 will now be extended through June 30, 2021. If a Membership expires later than June 30, 2021 following the extension announced on April 5, 2020, that expiration date will remain the same.

Can husband and wife combine Delta SkyMiles?

The simple answer is yes, but Delta charges a fee for transfers. So you need to do the math to see if it makes sense (it often doesn’t). And don’t forget, you can book award tickets for anyone using your Delta miles – without transferring miles and without paying a fee.

Is Gold or Platinum Delta card better?

Best overall value: the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card. Compared with the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card, the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card is the superior option when it comes to everyday spending.

Does first class ticket get you into Delta lounge?

You need to fly in a Delta One cabin, domestically or internationally – or have a credit card or lounge membership that gets you access. But a standard domestic first class seat won’t work.

Is it worth it to upgrade to Delta platinum card?

The bottom line. Some travelers will have no problems justifying the $250 annual cost of this card. Checked bag perks, a boost toward Medallion status, an annual companion pass and bonus miles on Delta travel and hotels can make the fee worthwhile.
