first bag free DOES NOT WORK!
I have been to the airport twice gladly holding my Amex platinum card, only to have the Delta agents charge me for my first bag.
When I call the AMEX skymiles customer service, they tell me that you do not have to use the amex card to purchase the flight in order to get the first bag free. The Delta agents say that you must use your amex card. I do not see any mention of this in the fine print.
Can someone please advise?

Free first bag with award ticket?
Hello,
I purchased a domestic award ticket with Delta Amex Gold card (tax). Do I qualify for free first bag? The ticket is for myself and I am the primary on the card. If I do get free first bag, will it work only at the self check-in Kiosk or also at a check-in counters??
I saw a post from May 2010 indicating that free first bag does cover award travel but nothing since and there are conflicting reports on other sites...
TIA

I'm wondering about this as well. And also if an silver member flies domestic can they check two bags for free?

[QUOTE=kblinis1;17198958]I'm still a little unclear if there are international benefits.. Since DL already allows a free checked bag internationally, does the card allow me to check an additional bag for free as well?[/
Any answers to this?

[QUOTE=ski;18248072]No the AMEX Card does not give you an additional bag internationally. The benefit is domestic only.
