Platinum card holders will also be restricted from Delta Skyclubs and will have only up to 6 complimentary access per year”. https://www.doctorofcredit.com/rumor...ge-access/amp/

I’m not into the DL AmEx co-branded card ponzi scheme for useless skymiles, but doesn’t the co-branded DL Platinum Card already have a $50 fee for SkyClub access? As I don’t see DL restricting $50 a head. Airlines did this upon themselves getting in bed with the credit card companies giving everyone access.

The Reddit post mentions Delta reserve will have 10 visits per year. https://www.reddit.com/r/CreditCards...t=2&utm_term=1

08/08/2023 edit: Additional Reddit posted today:
”This is very easy, everyone started to confusing the cards and idk why... Delta Plat will no longer have access starting Q1 2024. Delta Reserve and Amex Plat will still have BAU access until Q1 2025. At that time, those 2 cards will have to spend $75k in a calendar year to access. Otherwise, they will have a limit on the visits: Delta Reserve 10x per year Amex Plat 6x per year.”

The grammar in these Reddit posts is really confusing me. Just so I'm clear: the rumor is that DL AMEX Plat cards will lose access to SC; DL Reserve cards will allow pax to visit SC 10 times per year, and vanilla (non-branded) AMEX PLAT will only give pax 6 visits per year. Is this correct? Or, is the vanilla AMEX PLAT not part of the rumor?
