Lounge Access-Delta

[CholentTheTraveler]

I recently lost my gold status for Delta(which have lounge access for international flights). I was wondering what card would hep me retain this access? I am going to be flying a lot this year most likely on Delta as they have the most direct route on the flights.

Amex platinum

Are you sure? When I flew from South Africa to Atlanta they wouldn't accept it(might be cause the lounge is an Air France lounge delta uses)?

I've used my plat to get into Delta lounges in JFK.

if you sign your amex card up for 2 free months of sky guide magazine from amex, one of the benefits are they reimburse you up to $50 for a day pass at any lounge in the world. just need to send in the receipt.
sky guide also charges 2.99 for the free to months

i just got an offer from them, offering $100 in restaurants certificates as well as all sky guide benefits which include reimbursement for airline lounges.
i dont need the restaurant certificates, i just need the lounges for the next few weeks.

the deal that was discontinued was the $25 amex gift card

"Customers with a Platinum American Express credit card may access Delta Sky Clubs when traveling on a same-day Delta operated flight (does not include Delta SkyMiles co-branded American Express Platinum Card)."    - from delta's website

Does this work only before the flight in the departure airport, or also in the arriving airport?

[Dan]

Both

  Does anyone have any experience with them letting you in to the Delta SC on a AMEX Platinum if flying on a different airline? And would a Delta Gold AMEX card do anything for me?

Flying on a different airline (non-Delta) they will not let you into the Delta SkyClub.

I am flying delta out of lga.  I have a one day us airways pass, one day united pass and an ink card.
Will any of these help me get into any lounge?  I have never done this before so I am a bit confused even after searching so thanks for your patience.
