what is best CC to get Delta benefits
« on: January 01, 2013, 11:51:02 PM »
I will be going to Israel IY"H with one of the recent Delta tickets. I am also in the market of opening a few new credit cards. Which one would give me the most benefits at Delta? Such as better seats, upgrades, lounge access?

You'll need status to get those benefits, CC wont get you there.
You can sign up for the amex platinum to get lounge access
And to the delta CC to get priority boarding

You would get United benefits...UA and DL aren't even in same alliance.
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

I'm also in the market for some new credit cards.

Is there anything that will give me some DL stock? A discount on options?

Speak to my English mate Rich, he is giving Delta a go at Virgin so I am sure he will sneak you in as well.
