If you are not a big spender... say no more than $15K to $20K on the DL Amex... is this card going to have any benefit to you?

I see the benefit of 5% off tickets... but one would have to spend $9,000 on DL tickets to make the 5% off equal the annual fee.

So, outside of the 10,000 MQM up-front bonus (which I could see being worth it come December and less than 10K MQM short of a certain elite level and essentially buying up status for $450), how else could non-big spenders benefit?

Will there be other built-in mielage boosts beside the $30K trigger? Is this an always double miles card as well?

Here is the application on AMEX now:
