Depending on which Delta credit card you choose, you may also be able to take advantage of some lucrative travel benefits \u2014 such as a round-trip companion certificate on certain flights, fee waivers for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry applications and more.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about applying for a Delta credit card, you may be asking yourself which is better: the <span data-capi-name=\"22036262\">Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Gold American Express Card<\/span> or the <span data-capi-name=\"220310883\">Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Platinum American Express Card<\/span>? Both cards earn Delta SkyMiles on everyday purchases, but only one card offers a handful of premium travel benefits.<\/p>\n<p>If you want the perks that come with the Delta SkyMiles Platinum card, you\u2019ll need to be prepared to pay a platinum-level fee. So for some Delta travelers, the Delta SkyMiles Gold card may be the more sensible option.<\/p>\n<p>Which is right for you?

The Delta SkyMiles Gold offers fewer miles total for its welcome bonus than the Delta SkyMiles Platinum \u2014 10,000 less, in fact \u2014 but it also has a lower spending requirement, which is why it wins in this category.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s important to look beyond just the number of miles to truly understand what you\u2019re earning when it comes to both of these cards. Let\u2019s do the math:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For the Delta SkyMiles Gold, you\u2019d have to spend $500 per month to meet the welcome bonus spending requirement. Delta points are worth about 1.2 cents per mile, so this welcome offer is worth an average of $960 when transferred to a high-value partner.<\/li>\n<li>For the Delta Skymiles Platinum, you have to spend about $667 per month to meet the welcome bonus spending requirement. Based on how much Delta SkyMiles points are worth, this bonus is worth an average of $1,080 when transferred to a high-value partner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, while the Delta SkyMiles Platinum card offers a larger overall bonus with an average of $120 more in value, it requires $1,000 more to earn the bonus. So, while it\u2019s a close call, the Delta SkyMiles Gold is technically the better offer as you\u2019ll get more bang for your buck, even if you won\u2019t earn as many miles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"my-16\">\n<div class=\"ProductCard\">\n<div class=\"ProductCard-featured\">\n<div class=\"FeatureTag-container relative\">\n<div class=\"FeatureTag bg-teal-600 h-10 max-h-10 text-white flex flex-row items-center justify-center text-white gap-x-2\">\n        <span class=\"block Icon Icon--xs\"> <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"Icon-glyph\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" focusable=\"false\"><title>Badge Icon<\/title>\n<path d=\"M13.007 23.965c-.883 0-1.71-.335-2.336-.95l-.033-.033-.794-.793a1.549 1.549 0 0 0-1.095-.458H7.63a3.362 3.362 0 0 1-3.353-3.35v-1.128c0-.413-.156-.804-.458-1.095l-.782-.781a3.359 3.359 0 0 1-.023-4.736l.023-.022.782-.782c.29-.29.458-.681.458-1.094V7.548a3.36 3.36 0 0 1 3.353-3.273H8.75c.413 0 .805-.167 1.106-.458l.783-.781c1.307-1.307 3.431-1.318 4.739-.011l.793.792c.29.29.693.458 1.095.458h1.118a3.362 3.362 0 0 1 3.353 3.35v1.118c0 .413.157.804.458 1.105l.783.782a3.348 3.348 0 0 1 .011 4.735l-.794.793c-.29.29-.447.682-.447 1.095v1.117c0 .893-.346 1.73-.983 2.367a3.37 3.37 0 0 1-2.37.983h-1.128c-.414 0-.805.168-1.096.458l-.782.782a3.28 3.28 0 0 1-2.358.983h-.012l-.01.022Z\" fill=\"transparent\" class=\"icon-offset\"\/><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.665 22.008c.626.614 1.453.95 2.336.95l.011-.023h.011a3.28 3.28 0 0 0 2.359-.983l.782-.782c.29-.29.682-.457 1.095-.457h1.129a3.37 3.37 0 0 0 2.37-.983 3.319 3.319 0 0 0 .983-2.368v-1.117c0-.413.157-.804.447-1.094l.794-.793a3.348 3.348 0 0 0-.012-4.735l-.782-.782a1.545 1.545 0 0 1-.458-1.106V6.618a3.362 3.362 0 0 0-3.353-3.35h-1.118c-.402 0-.805-.168-1.095-.458l-.794-.793a3.354 3.354 0 0 0-4.739.011l-.782.782c-.302.29-.693.458-1.106.458H6.625A3.36 3.36 0 0 0 3.272 6.54v1.195c0 .413-.168.804-.458 1.095l-.783.781-.022.023a3.358 3.358 0 0 0 .022 4.735l.783.782c.301.29.458.681.458 1.094v1.128a3.362 3.362 0 0 0 3.353 3.35h1.118c.413 0 .804.168 1.095.459l.793.793.034.033Zm1.23-1.295-.023-.023h.011l-.771-.77a3.315 3.315 0 0 0-2.358-.972H6.636c-.86 0-1.565-.704-1.565-1.564v-1.128c0-.882-.346-1.72-.972-2.356l-.782-.782a1.563 1.563 0 0 1-.023-2.2l.794-.793A3.31 3.31 0 0 0 5.06 7.77V6.652c0-.86.704-1.564 1.565-1.564h1.118a3.36 3.36 0 0 0 2.369-.971l.782-.782a1.573 1.573 0 0 1 2.224 0l.783.782a3.314 3.314 0 0 0 2.358.971h1.118c.86 0 1.565.704 1.565 1.564v1.117c0 .893.346 1.73.972 2.367l.782.782a1.577 1.577 0 0 1 0 2.211l-.793.793a3.31 3.31 0 0 0-.973 2.357v1.117c0 .424-.167.815-.458 1.105a1.548 1.548 0 0 1-1.106.458h-1.13c-.871 0-1.732.346-2.357.972l-.783.782c-.302.29-.693.457-1.106.457-.414 0-.805-.167-1.096-.457Zm-.04-5.462h.006-.011.005Zm-.631-.257a.905.905 0 0 0 1.263 0l4.549-4.556a.896.896 0 0 0 0-1.262.898.898 0 0 0-1.263 0l-3.923 3.92-1.576-1.575a.898.898 0 0 0-1.263 0 .896.896 0 0 0 0 1.262l2.213 2.211Z\" class=\"icon-base\"\/><\/svg> <\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"block capitalize\">Rewards rate winner<\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"w-1\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"ProductCard-body\">\n<ul class=\"Accordion w-full\">\n<li x-id=\"['panel-why-it-won', 'heading-why-it-won']\" x-data=\"{ expanded: 1 }\" class=\"Accordion-item\">\n        <button class=\"Accordion-titleContainer py-4 px-3 sm:px-6 group sm:py-6\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" :id=\"$id('heading-why-it-won')\" :aria-controls=\"$id('panel-why-it-won')\" :aria-expanded=\"expanded ? true : false\" x-on:click=\"expanded = !expanded\" :data-outcome=\"expanded ?

However, if you know that you\u2019ll use and value the perks offered by the Delta SkyMiles Platinum, the annual fee can easily be worth it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"my-16\">\n<div class=\"ProductCard\">\n<div class=\"ProductCard-featured\">\n<div class=\"FeatureTag-container relative\">\n<div class=\"FeatureTag bg-teal-600 h-10 max-h-10 text-white flex flex-row items-center justify-center text-white gap-x-2\">\n        <span class=\"block Icon Icon--xs\"> <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"Icon-glyph\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" focusable=\"false\"><title>Badge Icon<\/title>\n<path d=\"M13.007 23.965c-.883 0-1.71-.335-2.336-.95l-.033-.033-.794-.793a1.549 1.549 0 0 0-1.095-.458H7.63a3.362 3.362 0 0 1-3.353-3.35v-1.128c0-.413-.156-.804-.458-1.095l-.782-.781a3.359 3.359 0 0 1-.023-4.736l.023-.022.782-.782c.29-.29.458-.681.458-1.094V7.548a3.36 3.36 0 0 1 3.353-3.273H8.75c.413 0 .805-.167 1.106-.458l.783-.781c1.307-1.307 3.431-1.318 4.739-.011l.793.792c.29.29.693.458 1.095.458h1.118a3.362 3.362 0 0 1 3.353 3.35v1.118c0 .413.157.804.458 1.105l.783.782a3.348 3.348 0 0 1 .011 4.735l-.794.793c-.29.29-.447.682-.447 1.095v1.117c0 .893-.346 1.73-.983 2.367a3.37 3.37 0 0 1-2.37.983h-1.128c-.414 0-.805.168-1.096.458l-.782.782a3.28 3.28 0 0 1-2.358.983h-.012l-.01.022Z\" fill=\"transparent\" class=\"icon-offset\"\/><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.665 22.008c.626.614 1.453.95 2.336.95l.011-.023h.011a3.28 3.28 0 0 0 2.359-.983l.782-.782c.29-.29.682-.457 1.095-.457h1.129a3.37 3.37 0 0 0 2.37-.983 3.319 3.319 0 0 0 .983-2.368v-1.117c0-.413.157-.804.447-1.094l.794-.793a3.348 3.348 0 0 0-.012-4.735l-.782-.782a1.545 1.545 0 0 1-.458-1.106V6.618a3.362 3.362 0 0 0-3.353-3.35h-1.118c-.402 0-.805-.168-1.095-.458l-.794-.793a3.354 3.354 0 0 0-4.739.011l-.782.782c-.302.29-.693.458-1.106.458H6.625A3.36 3.36 0 0 0 3.272 6.54v1.195c0 .413-.168.804-.458 1.095l-.783.781-.022.023a3.358 3.358 0 0 0 .022 4.735l.783.782c.301.29.458.681.458 1.094v1.128a3.362 3.362 0 0 0 3.353 3.35h1.118c.413 0 .804.168 1.095.459l.793.793.034.033Zm1.23-1.295-.023-.023h.011l-.771-.77a3.315 3.315 0 0 0-2.358-.972H6.636c-.86 0-1.565-.704-1.565-1.564v-1.128c0-.882-.346-1.72-.972-2.356l-.782-.782a1.563 1.563 0 0 1-.023-2.2l.794-.793A3.31 3.31 0 0 0 5.06 7.77V6.652c0-.86.704-1.564 1.565-1.564h1.118a3.36 3.36 0 0 0 2.369-.971l.782-.782a1.573 1.573 0 0 1 2.224 0l.783.782a3.314 3.314 0 0 0 2.358.971h1.118c.86 0 1.565.704 1.565 1.564v1.117c0 .893.346 1.73.972 2.367l.782.782a1.577 1.577 0 0 1 0 2.211l-.793.793a3.31 3.31 0 0 0-.973 2.357v1.117c0 .424-.167.815-.458 1.105a1.548 1.548 0 0 1-1.106.458h-1.13c-.871 0-1.732.346-2.357.972l-.783.782c-.302.29-.693.457-1.106.457-.414 0-.805-.167-1.096-.457Zm-.04-5.462h.006-.011.005Zm-.631-.257a.905.905 0 0 0 1.263 0l4.549-4.556a.896.896 0 0 0 0-1.262.898.898 0 0 0-1.263 0l-3.923 3.92-1.576-1.575a.898.898 0 0 0-1.263 0 .896.896 0 0 0 0 1.262l2.213 2.211Z\" class=\"icon-base\"\/><\/svg> <\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"block capitalize\">Foreign transaction fee winner<\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"w-1\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"ProductCard-body\">\n<ul class=\"Accordion w-full\">\n<li x-id=\"['panel-why-they-tied', 'heading-why-they-tied']\" x-data=\"{ expanded: 1 }\" class=\"Accordion-item\">\n        <button class=\"Accordion-titleContainer py-4 px-3 sm:px-6 group sm:py-6\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" :id=\"$id('heading-why-they-tied')\" :aria-controls=\"$id('panel-why-they-tied')\" :aria-expanded=\"expanded ? true : false\" x-on:click=\"expanded = !expanded\" :data-outcome=\"expanded ?
