About this card

The Delta SkyMiles Blue American Express Card receives an overall rating of 2.6 out of 5.0. This rating reflects a balanced assessment of the card's strengths and weaknesses, considering its target audience and market positioning. The card's primary strength is its no annual fee, making it an accessible entry point into the Delta SkyMiles program. The absence of foreign transaction fees is also a plus. However, the card's high APR range significantly detracts from its value, especially for users who carry a balance. The rewards program, while offering bonus miles on Delta purchases and dining, is not particularly generous compared to other travel or cash-back cards. The sign-up bonus is also relatively low. Ultimately, the card is best suited for infrequent Delta flyers who prioritize avoiding an annual fee and are disciplined about paying their balance in full each month. However, more frequent travelers or those seeking greater rewards value may find other cards more appealing.
