Real credits you must use before they expire.

Delta SkyMiles Blue FAQ

Does the Delta SkyMiles Blue have an annual fee?

No. American Express charges no annual fee on the Delta SkyMiles Blue, so there is nothing to earn back and no break-even point. WorthTheFee tracks 6 benefits worth up to $0 in listed value — that is the maximum, not a guarantee. Every credit you use on this card is upside.

Do any Delta SkyMiles Blue benefits count automatically?

No. Every tracked benefit on this card requires you to use it or meet a condition, so WorthTheFee starts you at $0 and only adds value as you confirm usage. There is no annual fee to offset.

How often do the Delta SkyMiles Blue credits reset?

Credits reset on different clocks: 6 reset once a year. Unused credits do not roll over — when a period ends, that value is gone.

Do unused Delta SkyMiles Blue credits roll over?

No. Statement credits expire at the end of their period. That is why WorthTheFee counts only the value you confirm you will use, rather than the issuer's advertised total.

Where did WorthTheFee get these Delta SkyMiles Blue benefit values?

From American Express's own published card and terms pages, linked in the Official sources section on this page. WorthTheFee is not the issuer and does not receive payment to change a verdict.

When were the Delta SkyMiles Blue terms last checked?

WorthTheFee last reviewed this card against American Express's official sources on September 19, 2026. Issuers change terms without notice — always confirm on the issuer page before applying.
