This is essentially worthless IMO, $10 credit just doesn't move the needle and if anything this may force you to go out of your way to eat somewhere you normally wouldn't.

I mean yeah OK but again this very targeted to who can actually benefit from it.

quote:
- 150 hotel booking credit through Delta

I have never booked through Delta Stays so I can't comment on the value but again this has very one off value.

This is probably the best actual change they made

quote:
- complimentary upgrade on flight

yeah, just not a real perk as the chance of getting an upgrade by just holding a DL Platinum seemx miniscule

I would say overall not much change, just more annoying than anything

They use Expedia when you book through them. I'm not a fan of booking through 3rd party but both of my travel cards (Venture X) use a third party and promote buying through them.

The ride share isn't bad if you need a quick ride, however the $10 statement credit is just a joke. Should just give the $120 credit for the year so if a ride is $50 it covers it. Would make it more valuable as I only use it to get to and from the airport.

I've also never used Resy so I cannot comment on that, I assume it is like OpenTable but not sure if you book through them or pay through them.
