Small technical point; being a cardholder isn't enough. You actually have to use the card for the transaction. (I have the DL one but wanted to put a day pass on a different card; they wanted the full $59 in that case.)

Yes and you must physically show the card as well. They have no way of billing it to your account, even if it is stored with Delta. Or that was the case a few years ago anyways.

Also a question...if I have the Amex Plat and the Amex Delta Reserve, can I use both to get me and a guest in for free(if flying Delta)?

I had the opposite experience with my Amex Plat card, as the lady let my friend charge the fee on his personal CC for $29.

If you are a diamond there is a choice benefit where you can guest in two people in time when you are flying if you have another means to enter like an Am Ex card or lifetime membership

No (fortunately since the Skyclubs are overcrowded as it is). The Plat doesn't get you in for free anway. You can use the Reserve to get yourself in free and then pay $29 to guest your friend in.

Sorry misread that as a Delta Plat Am Ex. But having both won't allow you to guest someone in. I have a Delta Reserve which includes free access and a SkyClub membership by being diamond but I can't guest anyone in.

Last several years I have purchased Delta Sky passes on Ebay for my parents when they go on a trip for their anniversary. For some reason I don't see anyone as of now selling any. Anyone have any idea why?

They only sell single visit passes now. You must be there ready to enter to purchase one.

Yup always seen a handful of sellers for a few years having 1 day passes, and this summer nothing, thus was curious if anyone knew why there are none and or way less "in the system" etc.

DL did away with "day" passes a couple years ago. Anything you see on Ebay that says Day Pass on it is almost certainly a counterfeit (any valid day passes would have expired by now). It's possible that DL cracked down on the forgers. Delta still provides single visit passes via it's Sky Bonus program. You might see those pop up once in awhile on Ebay.

PHL-MSP-ANC Sky Club Access???
Hello all,
No status, yet have a FC ticket on the above itin. This does grant us entry at both PHL & MSP, correct?
Safe travels.

Nope, no lounge access for domestic paid F flights. Status doesn't matter either. Only domestic D1 routes get access for passengers up front (JFK-LAX/SFO, BOS-SFO, DCA-LAX).
