My husband and I have an Delta SkyMiles American Express Platinum credit card that we love.  American Express has come a long way and is accepted at most places, which is really nice.  It’s also the only credit card that Costco accepts, so we are able to use it for purchases inside the store as well as for our gas and we get double miles all the time for those purchases.  American Express offers double miles on a lot of everyday purchases like gas and groceries and also has a lot of promotional periods where you can earn triple miles and it usually during the holidays, so you are earning lots of miles when you are spending the most money anyway.  We also love that we get an itemized list of how we spent our money each year, which is very helpful for budgeting and for tax purposes. 

We’ve used our SkyMiles to travel to Hawaii, California (several times), Washington DC, and we just cashed in miles to go to Canada.  We love to travel and it’s great not having to pay for our flights anymore.  We’ve never had a problem booking a flight or using our miles.  We don’t even have to book months in advance.  We also get a free companion voucher each year with our platinum card, which more than covers the annual fee.  It’s surprising how fast the miles add up and the rising cost of airfare is no longer an issue or problem when planning trips thanks to our credit card!
