My first travel rewards credit card was the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card. I applied for it in 2018 and immediately used it to book a trip to Seattle from my home airport, Raleigh-Durham International. A few years later, I upgraded to the SkyMiles Platinum to earn a little bit more per dollar spent, take advantage of an annual companion certificate, and access the SkyClub lounge at a special pay-per-visit rate.

This card pairs well with a premium travel credit card, like the Capital One Venture X, which gives you lounge access through Priority Pass, an annual travel credit, and bonus points when you book through Capital One Travel. There are other entry-level cards, like the Citi Premier or the Chase Sapphire Preferred, that can pair nicely with the SkyMiles Gold card to fill in some of the gaps in earning potential, too.
The Delta SkyMiles Gold card is an
