Hi,

I know this topic has been discussed at length, but I'm for some help clarifying which is the better credit card for my situation. Currently I have the 'Platinum Delta SkyMiles' credit card from American Express ($195/yr), but I'm looking to switch to either the Delta Reserve or American Express which are both around $450/yr. Here are my details:

- I live in Atlanta and try to fly Delta at all times
- I fly approximately 1 to 2 times per month for work using Delta
- I currently have 'Gold' medallion status (this status is great as I have the ability to change flights, etc with little of no charge)
- **** I have been able to achieve 'Gold' status by spending $50,000/yr on my card

I'm looking to possibly change because of the added benefits, but mostly for airport lounge access.

My question is, since I want to collect as many miles (whether these be Skymiles or other airline miles) as possible for personal travel (which I like to travel) and I want to have access to the 'lounges', which is the better card?

Thanks in advance!
