Delta Res business amex question
I realize that having the card can put me past other platinums without it on upgrade list. But what I'm not finding confirmation is if I have to PAY for the ticket with the card or if that doesn't matter at all. Much rather have the 5x Amex points...

You get the benefits regardless of how you pay. The card is tied to your SM #. Only issue is if you wish to credit flights to another program. In that case your number is removed from the reservation.
