Delta SkyMiles Gold Business
What it is
The Delta SkyMiles Gold Business is an American Express business card earning Delta SkyMiles. Its ongoing value can outweigh the annual fee, making it a potential keeper past year one. The business sibling of the Delta Gold — a free checked bag and priority boarding for a Delta-flying business, earned on a separate business line. Thin ongoing value otherwise.
