In this episode we cover:

• The Platinum Delta SkyMiles credit card perks
• Why the Delta SkyMiles companion certificate is so beneficial
• Important things to remember when using the Delta SkyMiles companion certificate

Read blog post: https://thoughtcard.com/delta-companion-certificate/

If you don't already know, the Delta SkyMiles companion certificate is one of the exclusive perks that come with the Platinum Delta SkyMiles credit card.

As a card member, you automatically get a companion certificate every year you renew your credit card and pay the annual fee of $195.

To some this might sound steep but hear me out.

I love the Platinum Delta SkyMiles credit card because the companion certificate allows you to buy one round-trip main cabin ticket and get another round-trip main cabin ticket for free. You're only responsible for paying the taxes and fees on the freebie.
