More often than not, I find myself trying to book a Delta flight whenever I travel, both to continue to rack up SkyMiles since I'm a member of the airline's loyalty program but also because I've found it to just offer a better overall experience.

However, you'll often hear other people insist that The Platinum Card® from American Express is actually the better card for Delta flyers. Today, we’ll dive in to see which of these two cards is the best card for you.
