Is it crazy to spend, with my wife's help, $75k on the vanilla platinum just to ensure I'm not dealing with Delta's horrible rules. I really don't want to give the $ to DL directly after they destroyed the loyalty program - I am still a huge amex fan. We usually use SkyClub every trip (so 40+ a year)
Yes, it's crazy to spend $75K on the card for that. You might as well spend it on a much better travel card and cash some of the points out and buy a SkyClub membership for $695 (presuming you'll make it to Silver Medallion).
