Is the Amex Delta Platinum annual fee worth it?
$350 a year · 6 trackable credits · about $1,030 in value
On paper, yes. $1,030 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.
