Checked bags has no value for me. I travel with a backpack. There is no reason to travel with a bunch of extra stuff for no reason.
🪒 interesting and informative!
Looking at an example round trip flight of Chicago to New Orleans (fastest time), it's $767 for Comfort+ and $1130 for First Class. So enough with a $550 annual fee, it still comes out ahead.
Worth stating that the same flight is $650 main cabin, so the $250 Delta Plat would also come out ahead. Either are net positive, just depends on your class preference.

Hard to justify unless you have some kind of crazy Delta super status end game. I’m in ATL so it could actually ALMOST make sense. LOL
But having the Plat already, the Delta Reserve is a tough sell.
🪒🪒
My wife and I live 90 minutes from ATL and we are committed to paying as many of our bills as possible via credit cards. Thus, we are in an ideal position to take advantage of the Delta Reserve card. Five years ago I got a Delta Reserve business card and she got a Delta Reserve personal card. In our opinion, one of the biggest perks is the easier pathway to Delta Skymiles Platinum status. Platinum status, along with the complementary Regional Upgrades, means that we typically get free upgrades from Main Cabin to Comfort+ or from Comfort+ to First Class at the time of booking. And we love the free access to the Delta SkyClub lounges, particularly at our connecting and destination airports. The free upgrades and lounge access make our travel (particularly business travel) a lot more bearable and cost-effective. And, oh, by the way, the new cards are SO striking!
Being a Boeing family, I was hoping the card design would be available to platinum members. Oh well. 😒 Really enjoy your channel 🪒Thanks for sharing all the great info 😎
Knife is a Zero Tolerance 0450CF if anyone was wondering

I definitely see the Delta Reserve as a niche product for actual frequent flyers and not travel hackers. It's one of the few Amex products I haven't churned.
Coincidentally I just got an offer to upgrade my Delta Blue to Gold for 10K miles + $50 statement credit. I'd basically be paying $49 (plus the opportunity cost of rewards on $1K spend) for 10K miles. I've already had the gold signup bonus so it sounds like an OK deal.
How is it somebody with no beard sponsoring a shaving company? 🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️
i think they both overlap, which is discouraging for me to open the Delta card.
why don't you valuate the CLEAR credit?
I'm also a DTW Hub Flyer and this really hit home. I do wish my reserve at least had better multipliers. I have been considering adding the gold to my wallet.
Decided to renew my amex plat for the second year and got back $300 after 3k spend, I also got my $200 hotel credit, used up $30 in uber eats so far, $50 saks, $10 in offers, $40 in airline seat upgrades, $40 on a checked bag, and if I go to the lounge estimate value $40 for two people. Just like that I’m in profit in the first 3 months!!
Bro I'm a long time Harry's razor user, my daughter gifted it to me for fathers day years ago and I've been hooked.
Damn that beat in the beginning lmao
I have been looking those different two cards for two weeks now because I have a hard time what’s best for me. This will be first time to apply American Express card. I’m thinking about just start with American Express Platinum card? I love to travel but never been a whole lot though. Maybe Delta Skymiles American Platinum card would be good because it seem like it has a lot more perks? What do you think?
🪒🪒🪒 Helpful comparison. The new 747 design is pretty cool.

Zero tolerance in the pocket today?
Comment comment comment
If you want plat and don’t want to pay the fees just bank with Morgan Stanley and get the MS Amex plat (:
Lower the volume for drop test, after you crank music while showing the card.
🪒 👍🏽
I have such an issue with using the hotel credit with the platinum card 🙁 Are there any tricks for this? Most of the time when I am traveling I can't find hotels in the fine hotel + resorts or the hotel collection.
🪒 thanks Sebby!
Hey Sebby, is the reserve a credit or charge card? 🪒
Hello, I have a quick question to see if you could help me out. I already have the Venture X for traveling. I also have the Amex gold and Citi Premier. Which one of the two would you recommend to keep and cancel the other on? Amex gold or Citi premier? I don’t really eat out much but I do put gas and do grocery?
🪒
9:36 of complete and total BS….. yeah, enjoy the clicks
ugh i would get it if it was heavier . and i already have platinum. but its not that heavy 🙁

Sebb whats the audio it is Lit fire
Ask Sebby going full Flossy Carter in the unboxing video. Next time ask if Whiteshoes is available.
Love the Bay Area influence with music choice at beginning haha keep up the great content !
Mine came in a box cuz brand new card I ordered. 110k points for the next trip here
I picked up the Delta reserve when moving to Hawaii, you can originate flights from Hawaii using the companion pass which is really valuable when flying back to the continental US.
Great video Sebby! I was kind of skeptical about the $200 hotel credit, but it came in clutch for when my parents came to visit and it was a better price than nearby Hilton or Marriott chains.
Delta has become the biggest airline in LAX, so I could get away with swapping the Platinum for the Reserve, but why? I get more MR to skymiles/dollar and far more credits to offset the higher AF on the Platinum. The only thing that is attractive with the Reserve is the priority on upgrades.

We got our card today. Kinda neat how it tells a bit about the aircraft’s life.
