Card Details
- $550 annual fee, not waived first year
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 3x miles on Delta purchases
- 1x miles on all other purchases
- Earn 15,000 Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) after you spend $30,000 in purchases on your Card in a calendar year, up to four times
- Waive the MQDs requirement towards Platinum, Gold or Silver Medallion Status if you make at least $25,000 in purchases in that year
- Complimentary Delta Sky Club Access & Access to The Centurion Lounge
- Receive a Domestic First Class, Delta Comfort+® or Main Cabin round-trip companion certificate each year upon renewal
Our Verdict
Good deal if you have use of the MQM and the lounge access, but the $550 annual fee is off putting for most people. Won’t add this to the best credit card bonuses page because it’s targeted.

This shows up via a referral link, if it's not a delta reserve card you can scroll to the bottom to click "see more card with this referral bonus" and find the reserve. works on chrome incognito and safari.
@will Awesome new card design (limited edition) for the Delta Reserve!

This is live again. I was able to get this offer from a friends referral link via incognito. Instant approval.
Initially declined. Called and sweet lady a few days later based in India said that it shouldn’t have been declined. After 3 minutes and no questions it was approved.
800 credit score. Lol/24.
Amex cards:
1 Biz, 1 Charge card, 3 credit line cards.
This was my 5th credit line card. She said Biz cards still count.
This shows up in incognito for me and I tried to apply, but I got the dreaded pop-up saying I'm ineligible. It would have been my 10th active Amex card and 5th credit card. I closed 2 credit cards when I got the Bonvoy Brilliant card last year when the limit was 4.
Yeah incognito works for me as well. I keep on getting the popups for gold and platinum. I wonder if I'll get a popup for this one as well.
Seems to work in Incognito for me
I need some NLL!
Seems to be active again
I am also seeing this offer (125K bonus + 10K MQM / 5K spending) using a referral link from an Amex Platinum in incognito mode.
