I am a holder of the AMEX Delta Gold card ($99/yr card):

1) is the free bag perk available for international flights? (the AA Barclays card free bag is only for national flights, which is why i ask)
2) ignoring the seat selection and refund aspect of Main Cabin and looking only at the included bag, if I book with miles will the AMEX card allow me to get a free checked bag for everyone in my party (wife and i)? Or does the ticket need to be booked as $ not Miles to get this perk?

Mileage tickets benefit. As for international, I believe its includes this, excluding flights ex-AMS/CDG where KL/AF handle DL flights.
