I checked the offer and it seems like you only get early boarding, but not elite security line? Am I mistaken here?

The Delta Platinum and Reserve cards are are also great for getting Delta status, but you do not seem interested in Delta miles.
Unfortunately Delta really cover the routes I'd take most often, otherwise yeah it would have been something I consider. I'm strongly leaning towards the Amex SPG though.
