While the bonus can help offset the MileagePlus Club Card's annual fee for cardholders
on a
budget who want to
cash in
on the card's
airline perks, cardholders merely seeking to score a large sign - up bonus may be better off with a card with a lower annual fee.
And, unlike another recent addition to the
airline card category — the United TravelBank card — the Blue Delta card rewards you in actual
airline miles (The TravelBank card instead rewards you in «TravelBank
cash,» which you can only use to get discounts
on United airfare), which means — if you are looking for a low -
budget way to wet your feet in
airline miles, the Blue Delta SkyMiles card is a good starter card.
