Is the Amex Delta Platinum Business annual fee worth it?

$350 a year · 6 trackable credits · about $1,080 in value

On paper, yes. $1,080 in credits against a $350 fee. But that only holds if you actually use them — and you only need the top 1 to break even, so the honest question isn't whether the math works. It's whether those 1 fit your life.

Below is every statement credit and perk on the Delta SkyMiles Platinum Business American Express Card that can actually be tracked, biggest first, with a link to the American Express page each figure came from.
