That's the easier route to go if you are in a position to pickup a new card.
Otherwise, now is a good time to transfer to DL if that's your preferred airline because Federal Excise Tax is on a temporary holiday so you won't pay any taxes to transfer to DL like you normally would.
If it was me, I'd prefer to keep my points in the Amex ecosphere where they have more potential value. Delta is probably safer than many of the other partners for transfer right now, but still, why commit to Skymiles that are often terrible redemption rates? That's why I second the advice to get an Everyday card - I have one and I use it more than my Plat because of the 2x grocery and 20% bonus.
That's great info about the excise tax, though, Duke!
