I'll probably cancel my Platinum when it's up for renewal next year (figures they made the announcement of the change right after I paid the annual fee) seeing the gift card loophole has been closed and the only Am Ex lounge I use is at LAS seeing I get access now with my reserve card. This is a great benefit for Delta flyers using LAS since there is no Skyclub there.
My thoughts as well. Platinum cardholders can access all the Skyclubs so it's only fair Reserve cardholders can access the Am Ex lounges and LAS is about the only one that is convenient flying Delta where there isn't a skyclub. Will also be nice in Seatle if you have guests

I have a flight on DL sunday paid for my reserve card out of LAS. I'm curious to see if I'll have any issues getting in the club. I still have my Am Ex platinum if they give me a hassle.
I don't think anyone can argue that is a true enhancement to the reserve card.

If you have the Delta Reserve card but are flying a non-Delta/partner flight (i.e. Spirit, United, etc), can you still pay to enter Delta Sky Club or Amex Centurion lounges for the $39/$49 entry fees? Or will they turn you away? If so, can you bring a guest?

Delta Reserve access privilege to Delta SkyClub and/or Centurion lounge only works if you are flying with Delta Airlines.
as long as you are flying Delta you have access unless the lounge is overcrowded.

Did a redeye out of vegas last night. and decided to give the dragon my reserve card instead of my regular platinum card just to see how smooth it would go and no issues. Not sure how they can tell if the ticket was bought with an am ex or not. A friend of mine was flying spirit last night and came over to grab a drink before his flights and got to the lounge about 20 minutes after me and I went to get him in and just gave my regular am ex card to the attendant and he had no issues getting in.
Definitely not going to renew my am ex platinum now that they added this benefit to the reserve card.

it doesn’t matter what airline you are flying with or if you bought the ticket with AX or not, it is a Platinum and Centurion card benefit, however if you are a Delta Reserve cardmember then (in theory) you are required to purchase DL tickets with the card to get lounge access. If you exclusively fly DL then Delta Reserve will work for you, if you fly non DL then you would NOT be allowed in Centurion or SkyClub lounge.

I like the 4.5% earning and the trip protection on my Chase card and I got a good offer for bonus miles using my Delta card. Also not sure if I will be keeping my platinum card after November with the annual fee increase (and Am Ex pulling this stunt with this offer is making it more tempting to cancel the card) and this flight I purchased was to LAS and if I don't have the platinum card anymore I'd have access to the Centurion lounge at LAS if I used my delta reserve card.
I guess worse case is I just cancel the flight for a credit and use the funds for another airport that doesn't have a CL lounge and rebook the LAS trip using my reserve card if I cancel my platinum card.

(The way the OP had worded it put me under the impression that CL access via Reserve requires booking via Reserve, otherwise you lose this benefit. So they in fact did not lose this benefit by booking with a Plat. Just me stating my observation

I was referring that if I cancel the platinum card before the flight, I won't have access to the CL lounge at Vegas since the flight is after my annual fee posts. If I would have booked it on my Delta Reserve card I would have access. Having the delta reserve card alone unfortunately doesn't give you automatic access to the CL, you have to be flying on Delta and the ticket has to have been paid for with the Delta reserve card.

It doesn't seem like it needs to be paid with the Reserve card:
