Exactly, i could have the card with a $1 limit (for times it needs to be swiped to confirm benefits or booking, needing acct # for calling CS, etc) though could prob get by without ever getting the actual card. To me the plat status on Delta is easily worth the $1500. Given how wildly my travel varies (gone from Delta silver, to gold, to silver, to plat....) I'd gladly put down $1,500 to hold platinum indefinitely.
