"Delta and American Express Introduce Enhanced Benefits with Increased Fees for Credit Cards"

Delta and American Express are increasing annual fees for their SkyMiles American Express credit cards, with fees for Gold, Platinum, and Reserve cards rising to $150, $350, and $650 annually, respectively. However, new benefits are being added, including enhanced companion certificates for flights to Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, the Caribbean, or Central America, and statement credits for eligible purchases. These changes come as Delta aims to provide more incentives for customers to hold their co-branded credit cards and generate additional revenue through their partnership with American Express.
