Gold Delta Skymiles Business Credit Card Review:
The Gold Delta SkyMiles® Business Credit Card, issued by American Express®, is designed for businesses with good credit who would like to earn free travel for business-related expenses and travel regularly on Delta Airlines.
Cardholders receive one mile for every dollar spent on general purchases and two miles for every dollar spent at supermarkets, drugstores, gas stations, home improvement and hardware stores, the U.S. Postal Service, on wireless phone bills, and on Delta Air Lines purchases. Cardholders earn 15,000 bonus miles upon their first purchase, and they receive an additional 5,000 bonus miles each for reaching $15,000 and then $25,000 in purchases annually. Cardholders also receive 1,000 bonus miles for each approved additional cardholder submitted with the application for up to five additional cards. Miles do not have an expiration date (if the account is active within a two-year period), and a yearly limit of $100,000 in eligible spending applies. Miles earned can be used in conjunction with Delta's frequent flyer program.
Although there is a high annual fee of $85, it is waived for the first year and is reduced to $30 for those who have a Business Gold Card, Executive Business Card, Business Platinum Card, or Business Centurion® Card. The APR for purchases and balance transfers is high for a business card and above average for an airline reward card. Therefore, it is not ideal for those who plan to carry a revolving balance. Although there is no introductory APR on purchases on balance transfers submitted during the first six months of membership will be at a 9.99% introductory APR for the life of the balance.
Cardholders can also expect many common benefits and services from the card, such as travel accident insurance, several purchase protection related services, and discounts at participating merchants and retailers. Cardholders receive a savings of 5% for all Delta flights purchased directly from Delta Air Lines, and they will also receive a $99 Companion Certificate every year upon renewing the card.
Therefore, those who will use the card at participating retailers and merchants (to accumulate additional miles) and plan to pay in full each month (to avoid finance charges) will benefit most from what the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Business Credit Card has to offer.
