Delta’s New SkyMiles Card Perk Targets $110 Second-Bag Charge
Delta Air Lines and American Express added a free second checked bag for Gold, Platinum, and Reserve SkyMiles cardholders on Delta-operated domestic flights, with annual card fees unchanged. The move follows Delta’s April increase in checked-bag prices to $45 for the first bag and $55 for the second. New card applicants approved by July 15 can qualify for higher sign-up bonuses. Delta also introduced new rideshare and vacation perks for cardholders.
