Why it earns its spot
- +One companion certificate use can outvalue the $350 fee
- +MQD Headstart plus MQD earn on spend is a real status shortcut
Where it costs you
- −Companion certificate has blackout and fare-class fine print
- −$350 is a lot if you do not fly Delta several times a year
The Compound Verdict
This card lives or dies on the companion certificate. If you reliably book a domestic round trip with a colleague or spouse each year, it pays for itself. If you will not use the cert, drop to the Gold Business.
