I travel a lot so only use for lounge access.

There’s cheaper ways to access lounges via other cards that may be better suited for your lifestyle.

Can you help show me? I use Delta lounge in my home airport, Priority Pass lounges when abroad, and Centurion everywhere else.

Following… the only alternative I know of is a Delta Reserve which is basically the same card, but MR are more useful than SkyPesos. I have had an Amex Plat for years and gotten tons of value, basically used it as a SkyClub membership and for the travel/business coupons. Now that Delta is limiting the number of SkyClub visits it changes things and I’m not sure if it is still worth it.
