Companion pass destinations are expanded to more N American locations.

Ballsy move, Amex and DL, especially on the Reserve Card.
Ballsy, indeed. The main reason to pay the AF for that card was the SkyClub access, which as of 2025 will be severely nerfed. To raise the AF $100 on top of that?!?

I'll opt to keep the card, primarily for the companion cert. So, there's a chance that I'll get more value out of the cert if I can use it in AK, HI, and the Caribbean. Also, not sure if this is new? But there's also now a $10/month rideshare (Uber, Lyft, etc.) credit? That, alone, would offset the increase in AF.
