Why consider it: Business card. For frequent Delta business trips where eligible lounge visits and premium companion travel are useful.
Trade-off: Lounge access has visit, fare, and spending conditions; employee cards do not automatically share every benefit. Benefits you actually use must justify the annual fee. An eligible business activity is required.

This $650-per-year card is most relevant to businesses that regularly fly Delta and can use the specific lounge and travel benefits. After $150,000 in purchases in a calendar year, eligible remaining purchases earn 1.5 miles per dollar for the rest of that year; only the higher accelerator applies when a category qualifies for more. Compare the fee with benefits you will actually use, rather than assuming credits reimburse it automatically.
