The Delta SkyMiles Blue Credit Card is a simple offer with no annual fee, designed for travelers who occasionally fly with Delta.

Cardholders get 2X miles per dollar for Delta purchases, and at restaurants too. 1X mile is provided for every other purchase.

You won’t get many airline perks with this card — the main feature is a 20% discount on in-flight purchases on Delta flights. Other benefits include complimentary ShopRunner membership, along with some basic shopping and travel protections.

A None foreign transaction fee is charged for purchases made in foreign currency.

The Delta SkyMiles Blue is one of several co-branded Delta cards from American Express, including three business credit cards.
