What it is
The Delta SkyMiles Platinum 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. Carries the same domestic Main Cabin companion certificate that makes the personal Platinum a keeper, plus the Resy / Delta Stays / rideshare credits — on a business line, alongside the personal Delta lineup.
