Why it earns its spot
- +First class companion certificate is the strongest cert in the Delta lineup
- +Lounge access plus the credit stack can justify the fee for weekly flyers
Where it costs you
- −$650 with a $20k bonus spend requirement is a serious commitment
- −Sky Club visits are capped unless you spend $75k on the card
The Compound Verdict
Only for businesses genuinely living on Delta. The first class companion cert and lounge access are excellent, but at $650 you need to fly enough to use both. The current 200,000-mile offer is the largest in our tracked history for this card, but it needs $20,000 of spend in six months. Most businesses are better served by the Platinum Business.
