Does Amex Platinum get you into Delta Sky lounge?

Delta Sky Club lounges Amex Platinum cardmembers get access to Delta-operated Sky Club lounges when flying on a Delta-operated flight or a Delta-marketed flight operated by WestJet. To find eligible lounges, head to Delta's website and select Platinum Card® Members From American Express as your membership type.



Yes, the American Express Platinum Card provides access to Delta Sky Clubs, but the rules have become more restrictive as of February 1, 2025. In 2026, Card Members receive 10 complimentary visits per year to Delta Sky Clubs when flying on a same-day Delta-operated or Delta-marketed flight. To unlock unlimited access, you must spend at least $75,000 on eligible purchases with your card in a single calendar year. If you exhaust your 10 annual visits, you may purchase additional entries for a fee (typically $50 per person). Access is only available within three hours of your scheduled departure time or at any time during a layover. Additionally, the Platinum Card does not provide complimentary guest access for Sky Clubs; guests must pay a per-visit fee and must also be traveling on an eligible Delta flight to enter.
