The regular Amex Platinum does give the Sky Club access and Comp cert (useless) as well, so really the only benefit of the Delta Reserve in my case would be the MQD waiver and the MQM booster, right? And I won't be able to use it properly if I start mid-year, right? And I would get less value than the 5xMR, right?
So what's the point of this card anyway now?
