Earn Rules
| Dining | 2x Delta |
| All Other | 1x Delta |
Points are converted to cash at a conservative per-program rate. Most programs publish no guaranteed cash value, so those rates are estimates of typical redemption value, not guarantees. Actual value depends on how you redeem. See how we value points →
Rates with strings attached
These apply only at a specific brand, or need something beyond how you spend, like a balance held with the issuer or a status tier. They are real, but we do not count them in the value above, which uses the rates any cardholder earns on ordinary spending.
| Made directly with Delta | 2x Delta |
Statement Credits
Each credit shown at full face value. The NAV math counts the total. What you actually use is your call.
| 10% back on qualifying concessions purchases up to $250 per calendar year via American Express Venue Collection™yearSource ↗ | $250/yr |
| Total credits / year we count | $250 |
The total counts each credit at face value, and only the ones reachable at this spending level.

Earn 10,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $1,000 on eligible purchases on your new Card within your first 6 months of Card Membership.
Value: $100 · Spend $1,000 in 6 months
This bonus is counted in full in the card's Year 1 value, and only when your spend meets the requirement. It's excluded from the ongoing value.
Who This Card Makes Sense For
- People who occasionally carry a balance. With no annual fee on top, the interest is the only cost.
- People whose flights are mostly with American Express National Bank. The 2x is where this card beats a general-purpose one, and it only applies to that spending.
