Pros

With unlimited discounts on airport lounge access, Gold Delta SkyMiles Card is an excellent choice for people who are a frequent traveler. SkyMiles are worth at least $0.075 per mile and often worth $0.01. Remember that the points accumulated in this card can vary at redemption even for the same routes based on different factors, like date, time, season, and more. Aside from that, keep in mind that the points that are raked up will never expire so long as your card remains in the good state. What attracts people most especially for international travelers, there is no transaction fee when using SkyMiles Credit Card.

Cons

The Gold Delta SkyMiles Card comes with an annual fee of $95, which makes it not as good as those fee-free travel rewards cards such as Discover it Miles and Capital One VentureOne Credit Card. Meanwhile, this card offers low point values for non-airfare redemptions.

Summary

Overall, with this Gold Delta SkyMiles Card, cardholders can earn miles for purchases on different items like gas, restaurants, groceries and more others. Furthermore, the miles racked up can be redeemed for bonuses towards travel on Delta and other over 15 airline partners. Meanwhile, there will be no limit for how much you earn.
