Delta and American Express expand the free checked-bag benefit for many Delta SkyMiles co-branded credit cardholders. Multiple reports say that cardmembers holding Delta Gold, Delta Platinum, or Delta Reserve American Express cards can now check two bags for free on eligible domestic U.S. Delta flights. The change is presented as an added benefit for existing card tiers rather than as a higher-fee requirement, with one source specifically noting there is no fee increase tied to the update. Other coverage frames the development as an upgrade beyond the common “one free bag” structure typically offered by airline credit cards, describing it as an additional step for Delta Amex holders. The sources also indicate this applies to the cardholders’ checked baggage allowance for domestic routes, while other travel conditions and potential exclusions are not detailed in the provided excerpts. Overall, the reports agree that the updated benefit increases the number of free checked bags from what many cardholders previously received for participating Delta flights within the U.S.
