Delta SkyMiles Blue American Express Card
- SkyMiles never expire. Blue skips the checked-bag and priority-boarding perks - if you check bags on Delta even twice a year, the Gold's free bag more than covers its fee.
The no-fee foot in the door for Delta loyalists. No free checked bag and no lounge access, but you earn 2X on Delta and dining and pay $0 a year - a clean way to bank SkyMiles and skip award-ticket cash fees if you fly Delta now and then.

| From | Ratio | Notes |

| American Express Membership Rewards | 1:1 | Amex Membership Rewards. Federal excise tax of ~$0.0006/point passes through on transfer (capped at $99/year personal, $200/year business). Watch for periodic 25-30% transfer bonuses to SkyMiles. |
| Marriott Bonvoy | 3:1 | Marriott Bonvoy. 60K Marriott points transfers as 20K SkyMiles - Delta is excluded from the 5K-per-60K transfer bonus. No transfer tax on Marriott side. Slow ratio, generally a last resort. |
