Avoid Checked Baggage Fee With Delta SkyMiles Credit Card
If you’ve been flying lately, then you’ve noticed that the price of your airline ticket is not the only expenses you’ll have when flying. To cut down on expenses and avoid bankruptcy, many airlines have started charging for checked baggage, in-flight meals, and entertainment. Some airlines like Southwest and JetBlue do not charge for the first checked bag, but you can often find better rates and more flight time options on some of the other larger airline companies such as Delta, US Air, and United. However, many of these airlines are charging $25 per checked bag, each way. For a family of four, this could add up to $200 per trip! Here’s a way to avoid those checked bag fees for Delta.
At the beginning of the year, we announced that we were partnering with Delta airlines and their SkyMiles program to offer 200 SkyMiles per day for every day you rent a car with E-Z Rent-A-Car. We’re really excited to be partnered with a loyalty program that so many people use. Delta recently announced that they would start offering 1 free checked bag per family member if you carry a Gold, Platinum, or Reserve American Express SkyMiles card. That’s a pretty sweet perk considering the cost of checking a bag nowadays.
Here are the terms of the deal:
There isn’t much of a catch with this deal. If you have one of the three eligible SkyMiles cards from American Express, and you need to check one bag, you won’t have to pay any extra for it.
As an added bonus, you can apply the benefit to up to nine members of your traveling party. On any one flight, you could save up to $100 for a family of four. Oversized and overweight baggage charges do still apply.
So if you’re one of those people who likes to rack up credit card rewards and pay off the balance at the end of the month for your travels, this is a great card to hold, because it gives you an immediate reward of a free checked bag!
