Welcome Offer and this special version of the credit card are available until August 3rd, 2022
American Express is currently issuing two Delta credit cards made with 25% of the card coming from a retired Boeing 747 aircraft.
Both cards are the most premium level Delta cards Amex issues, the Delta Reserve cards, with a $550 annual fee (and rich benefits to match, like SkyClub access and an annual 2 for 1 domestic ticket in any class of service including Delta One).
You can choose from the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card (see benefits) which comes with a welcome bonus of 100,000 Bonus Miles when you spend $5,000 in your first 3 months and the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Credit Card (see benefits) where you can earn 110,000 Bonus Miles when you spend $6,000 in your first 3 months.
When applying for either Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card, you can choose your Card’s design: limited edition Boeing 747 metal, classic metal or 70% reclaimed plastic. The Boeing 747 design is made with 25% metal from a retired Boeing 747 aircraft.
I think this is really cool and will probably grab one. My only hesitation is that I’ve been holding out for a welcome bonus that included MQMs. Decisions, decisions…..
Amex has also increased the bonus offers on the entire suite of Delta Amex cards, which you can browse here.

Hi Dave – I would love to get one of these cards as I remember my first international flight in 1972 was on a 747 and I share a love for airplanes with my husband. I don’t fly Delta at all though – I am based in the San Francisco area and fly to Asia more often since my family is based in the Philippines. Too bad for me I can’t have one of these 747 cards!
It’s not too hard to justify getting it just to get it given that the signup bonus is worth roughly $1,400 worth of Delta travel for that $550 annual fee… And remember you can use the miles on partners like Korean Air.
