Delta SkyMiles Reserve AMEX fees

Annual Fee

The Delta SkyMiles Reserve AMEX Card has an annual fee of $650.

If used properly, the first class companion certificate can make up for the majority of this fee, if not more. If that somehow doesn't cover the fee, the $700+ in annual credits, complimentary status, discounts, and more should.

Authorized User Fee

Adding additional Delta SkyMiles Reserve Cards will cost you $175 per card. These cardholders receive lounge access and a few other benefits. If you have family or friends that travel and will make use of the complimentary lounge access, I recommend adding them.

You can also add additional Platinum American Express Cards. These users will still help you build up your SkyMiles, but they will not receive complimentary lounge access.

Foreign Transaction Fee

The Delta SkyMiles AMEX Card has a 0% foreign transaction fee.
