In practice that fee works out to at most a $500 buy-in for Platinum status on Delta. You can also immediately opt for a $200 travel voucher as your Platinum benefit. I could see why some might think it's worth it.
- sokoloff 4y agoStarting in 2023, mere platinum doesn’t get you lounge access on international flights, but the affiliate credit cards do. That’s worth $20+ in real value on each international segment (the sticker price is higher, but there’s at least $20 of convenience and comfort to wait in the club over the boarding area).
- khuey 4y agoHmm I wonder how that is going to work since lounge access is a SkyTeam Elite Plus benefit.
- sokoloff 4y agoI’m not sure either, and I expect to see a lot of disgruntled interactions as people learn about this change. https://news.delta.com/look-ahead-delta-sky-club-updates-launches-and-expansions https://news.delta.com/look-ahead-delta-sky-club-updates-lau...
