Who are Delta SkyMiles business cards good for?
We like the Delta SkyMiles business cards from American Express for the potential value they offer travelers — especially with the latest sky-high welcome offers. But they're not for everyone.
Say you're a small business owner who travels a lot and you prefer flying Delta; maybe you live near a hub like Atlanta, or you fly routes most frequented by the airline. These co-branded cards can help you save on your most frequent expenses with miles you can put toward future spending. They come with a variety of rewards categories, benefits to help you travel more efficiently, and perks designed to reward loyalty.
However, not every type of business owner will get the same benefit. If you don't travel often, for instance, SkyMiles may not be the most valuable rewards currency for your business. Consider a more general points-earning business rewards card or even cash back that can go directly toward helping you save on business expenses.
Even if you do travel often, make sure you're able to primarily fly Delta before you sign up for a SkyMiles card. If you're unable to choose your preferred airline or your most common routes are better served by other carriers, you'll probably maximize your spending more easily with another business credit card .
Whether choosing a card for personal use or business use, always compare your most frequent spending with the card's rewards and benefits. Make sure the potential value not only outweighs the annual fee , but offers savings on your regular purchases over the long run.
