My Take

This is my favorite entry point for business owners who fly Delta and don’t want to mess with their 5/24. If you have even a small side hustle, this card lets you earn Delta miles, get free checked bags, and access solid travel perks without committing to a high annual fee.

I especially like this card when the welcome offer is elevated. It’s an easy yes for business owners who already fly Delta a few times a year and want perks that actually reduce out-of-pocket travel costs.

If you live near a Delta hub and want to see how I think about *which* Delta card makes sense at different stages, I break it all down here: Delta Credit Cards Explained: What I’d Do Living at a Hub .

Why Business Owners Love It

  • Doesn’t count toward 5/24: Great if you want to stay eligible for other personal cards later.
  • Free checked bag: Saves real money fast if you fly Delta even a few times a year.
  • 15% off Delta award flights: Automatically applies when booking with miles.
  • Useful everyday earning: Bonus miles on Delta purchases, dining, and U.S. shipping.
  • Lower annual fee: Easier to justify than the premium Delta cards.
