More reasons to love your Card Membership

The new welcome offers complement benefits introduced this summer as Delta and American Express celebrated 30 years of partnership. Those updates included a new Second Bag Free benefit for Basic Card Members on domestic Delta-operated flights, a new rideshare credit for Gold Card Members after their first renewal and refreshed Card designs - all with no increase to annual fees. Among them, the Second Bag Free benefit has quickly emerged as a popular new benefit for eligible Card Members.
