Oh I have some very kool stuff on the way in the weeks ahead like a blue tooth rechargeable speaker and digital luggage scales so I think the next few weeks of SWAG Saturday will be fun to be a part of.
So what do we have on tap today? How about ONE 24 hr Delta Skyclub pass and a Delta Points luggage tag as well + a chance to win Silver Medallion status in July. The terms and conditions are posted HERE in last week’s drawing if you have any questions.
So for a chance to win today, you need to go to the blog (if you are reading this in e-mail) and click on the word “comments” at the bottom of the post and tell me, with the Delta AMEX GOLD or PLATINUM or RESERVE card, the best feature is:
1) The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s
2) The up to 9 free bags per reservation
3) The ZONE 1 boarding
4) The buy one get one free cert (gone on the gold)
5) The free Skyclub on the Reserve
You pick the feature you like the best, any answer above counts or another that is a PERK, for a chance to win the SWAG! – René

Delta Platinum, Zone 1 boarding
The ZONE 1 boarding
Free sky club with the reserve card!:)
The MQMs since they are basically free with your regular spending. On a close second, the free baggage, since it pays for the card itself.
I have the Gold card and the best feature is being able to check up to 9 free bags!!
5) the free skyclub on the reserve
The up to 9 free bags per reservation
The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s of course 🙂
Definitely the bonus skymiles and MQMs!
Up to 9 free bags!
The free certificate!
Sky club for sure
The buy one get one free certificate is great. Most other perks from the cards can be had with status.
Bonus skymiles!
MQM’s
MQMs. Spend enough and you get status easily. (Spend… sigh, there’s always a catch.)
Favorite feature is the up to nine free bags per reservation
Gold Card. Being able to check up to 9 free bags.
I want to say the MQMs, but actually find that Zone 1 boarding is the most beneficial.
MQM’s.
Bonuses!
Skyclub membership makes the time spent at airports bearable but the bonus MQMs are great too!

Skyclub, baggage is able to be reimbursed by company.
The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s
During my last trip, all 3 legs of the return flight was a crowded zone 3 boarding. So for me the zone 1 boarding would be great!
MQMs!!
It’s the free Skyclub on the Reserve.
I’ve never had the chance to go to a Skyclub but have envied them from pictures and descriptions on blogs. I always get to the airport super early since I’m deathly afraid of missing a flight and just end up sitting bored for an hour. How cool would it be to chill with drinks and snacks instead?
5) Free Skyclub on the Reserve Card.
I like the free Skyclub for the Internet access.
Up to 9 free bags per reservation!

Delta Platinum – MQMs for sure! Free bags are nice too.
MQM definitely
Getting up to 9 bags free saves a lot of money throughout the year!!
Zone 1 boarding is awesome and of course free bags.
Definitely free bags!

Best perk from my Amex Gold is definitely the bonus miles. Miles allow my wife to travel with me….happy wife. Happy life.
Nine free bags
The best feature of the platinum card is the bonus Skymiles and MQM’s.
We have the Reserve card and earn an extra 30,000 MQMs a year–really love that, plus the SkyClub too.

Zone 1 boarding.
I was going to say the free bags but with the type of travel I’ve done lately, Zone 1 boarding has been the best.
Platinum card buy one get one cert. Though too bad upgrades are no longer available on these tickets. Oh my wife getting 10,000 MQMs isn’t too bad either!
Free Skyclub is awesome. Especially if you don’t fly that frequently in business/first
Zone 1 boarding is the best!
For me…………The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s!!
Zone 1 boarding is the best
Gold Card. The 9 free bags per reservation!
For me, it is the bonus Skymiles or MQM’s
Zone 1 boarding far and away!
Hands down I love the “up to 9 free bags per reservation” feature in my gold card.
bonus Skymiles or MQM’s, totes obvs
Diamond – Bonus MQMs
Free Skyclub on Reserve
Zone 1 boarding is the best.
I have the gold and by far for me its the upto free 9 bags!
Love the buy one/get one certificate with the Platinum card. Use it yourself or book a trip for a friend!
The MqM boost!
Definitely the Skyclub on the Reserve!
Zone 1 boarding while getting MQMs toward status.
Of course the free Skyclub on Reserve. The MQM’s were nice too.
For my needs, I actually like the pay with miles option from having any of these cards. i can very often find flights between Boston and Fort Myers to visit my family for less than $250 round-trip, but it is quite difficult to find any award trips that can be redeemed at the low level, so I appreciate being able to pay for a $200 ticket using miles, especially around holidays.
The BOGO!
Reserve card I guess. Delta sky club access + higher priority on UG list..
Zone 1 boarding is most important to me since I lost my delta status. I rarely check a bag so knowing overhead space will be available is always a relief.

It’s all about the free trips! BOGO!

Best feature is eliminating MQD problem in 2014 with spending $25,000 a year on any of the cards 🙂
Free companion ticket
Free sky club access
Gold – free bags #2

Since it’s all about the miles, bonus Skymiles for the win!

To me the bonus Skymiles or MQM’s, no question!
The MQMs are best for me.
The best feature of my Gold card is the Zone 1 Boarding.
I like the up to 9 free bags per reservation.
I love two features – free bags and zone 1
The free flight certificate
Hi Renee/
Free sky club on reserve is wonderful
BUT
Not as fabulous as you!!!!!!
Delta Gold – 9 free checked bags per reservation; But oh how I will miss the free flight certificate 🙁
The bonus MQMs
Free bags
free bags undoubtedly
2) The up to 9 free bags per reservation.
(2) – Free bags. I don’t fly enough for the annual fees on the PLAT or RESERVE cards to make sense for me. Going for GOLD on next AoR, though.
Honestly, the combo of all these benefits make the Delta cards the best available. If I need to choose just one, I’d say the companion certificate is the best as it draws infrequent fliers.
Free bags and Zone 1 boarding – love them!
At first, of course it was the medallion miles but now I have to admit both my hubby and I really enjoy Skyclubs!
Buy one get one free with the Platinum
I want the up to 9 free bags cause I pack heavy!
MQMs the best. Status highest priority for me.
The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s
MQMs are most interesting to me.
Free Skyclub with Reserve
Definitely the free skyclub access…thinking of upgrading for it. Thanks!
.
EDIT: From Rene – Oh don’t UPGRADE that is a very bad idea Phill! Go for BIZ card to make sure you get points!
Mqms and the certs are both great. The gold card is much less valuable without the cert.
SkyClub on the Reserve card.
The bonus MQM and Skymiles with 15K purchases etc
Bonus MQM and skyculbs are the most beneficial.
Definitely the bonus MQM’s!!!!
5 – Free skyclub with Reserve.

#2…but I probably won’t ever get the card

2) free bags
free bags for sure!
Would have to go with zone 1 boarding.
The MQM’s (Reserve)
gold – bonus miles
For me, it’s an even tie. Love the free bags (if I’m checking luggage) and love the Priority boarding (to confirm bin space if I only have a carryon).

ZONE 1 boarding!
Zone one boarding!
1) The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s

I also look forward to the Companion ticket as well 😉
Cheers
MQM’s by far helped me reach DM!
Bonus miles I’d say but I also like the club feature.
Free mqms. Then bogo cert.
MQM
1) The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s. Free bags (with Priority status so they are out first) is a strong #2.
Thanks!
I like the free bags, since traveling with the family can add up when everyone brings a couple bags.
Get in the Zone (1).
Zone 1 boarding
Def the companion certificate. Zone 1 is half the plane these days.
Zone 1 boarding.
Free SkyClub
The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s.
But, I do like all the perks.
I like up to 9 free bags per reservation! The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s is a very close second!
Zone 1 boarding is pretty handy if you are not an Medallion member.
I like the MQM’s!!!!!!
BOGO free on platinum
The buy one get one free certificate is the one we like the best.
Zone 1 is my favorite because I like the peace of mind knowing there will be room for my carry on bags.
Zone 1 Boarding. Wanna have room for my carry-on.
Of course The up to 9 free bags per reservation is ideal for someone like me who travels with TOO much stuff..always need that extra bag..:)
Free companion ticket – yes, I do use this benefit annually from my DL DkyMiles AX Platinum card!
I like it as tie breaker for gate upgrades. I’m DM, never check bags, and have lifetime SkyClub membership, so none of the other perks mean much. As for Reserve MQMs, it is a scam.
bonus skymiles
I feel the Reserve card an its MQMs are the best for me.
The Skyclub access can be had with a platinum [membership rewards] card with much better travel benefits pre 2013. So obviously the MQMs are what make the card different and worthwhile. MR points can be used for revenue fare s to build mqms and actually get somewhere, but SkyMiles themselves are little different animal
most def:
5) The free Skyclub on the Reserve
The ZONE 1 boarding
Reserve Card – all things being equal as GM, getting priority over others. Just got confirmation from Delta yesterday that is happening on my flight from SAT to ATL (connection to DTW) on the 20th. Still hoping I get the bump for DTW-SAT tomorrow.
Definitely the free companion ticket!
As someone who flies through ATL 2x a week, without question, the access to the Crown room, oops, Sky Club.
zone 1
The Gold card – the best feature is the the up to 9 free bags per reservation – with 5 members in our family that is really a great perk that we can use!
Sky club access is the best perk, valued at almost the price of the yearly msmbership itself.
9 free bags!
9 Free bags! I don’t know that I’d ever use all of them, but it’s a great perk
Zone 1 boarding!
Delta Amex Platinum – MQM bonus & Skymiles bonus for cash spent w/Delta – no questions asked.
The bonus MQMs
free companion ticket!!!!
Zone 1 boarding….
free bags are always a good thing!
Zone 1 is great…..
free bags…zone 1. I will take the free bags!!!
Platinum card, MQMs
The free bags!
The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s!
AMX platinum MQM
Hard choice between the Skyclub access and the MQM on the Reserve Card (through your link, of course!). Overall, though, I think the MQM, as I view the fee as my SkyClub membership fee, so the MQMs are a pure bonus!
#2 Free bags – with up to 9 bags allowed to check in for free, you can play a Kardashian for a day! 🙂
Reserve MQMs, by far!
I would enjoy anything.
Platinum-the bonus MQM’s
Def spend threshold MQMs.
I’m all about the bonus miles.
The bonus Skymiles or MQM’s
I’d say the free checked bags, as that is an immediate benefit versus most of the others.
Up to nine bags free!
I would probably enjoy the SkyClub even though I don’t have any of the cards. Last airline lounge I visited was the Admirals Club in Miami which was nice. Would like to go to a Delta one someday.
The free baggage is the best perk…forget the $50+ in baggage fees!
For me it’s the MQMs on the Reserve card. I max out my spending every year and it usually means the difference between gold and platinum — which is quite a difference when it comes to upgrades and other perks.
Reserve – MQM’s for sure, other cards can’t match
