Business owners loyal to Delta have no shortage of cobranded cards to choose from, whether they're casual travelers or in the air every week.
The Delta SkyMiles Gold Business American Express Card is the starter product in the Delta business card lineup. This card is designed for those who want to earn Delta SkyMiles and enjoy a few Delta-specific perks but might not travel with the airline enough to justify a more premium card.
This card has a $0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then a $150 annual fee thereafter (see rates and fees ).
To increase applicants' chances of approval, we recommend having a good to excellent credit score before applying.
