Editor's Score
Delta's mid-tier SkyMiles card balances solid earning rates with practical travel benefits. The free first checked bag on Delta flights saves $60 per round trip, covering a significant portion of the $150 annual fee. After year one's fee waiver, a single round-trip Delta flight per year justifies keeping the card.
