Delta SkyMiles® American Express Cards just got some valuable updates families will actually notice — plus a limited-time offer running through 7/15/26. Here's a breakdown of the Gold, Platinum, and Reserve cards to help you figure out which one actually makes sense for your family's travel.

Everyone has heard the standard advice when it comes to Hilton points:

• “Half a cent per point.”

• “Not a great transfer partner.”

• “Better to use your points elsewhere.”

That perspective is common—but it often overlooks one important detail: American Express Membership Rewards® transfer to Hilton Honors at a 1:2 ratio, meaning every 1 Membership Rewards® point becomes 2 Hilton points.

If you love getting maximum value out of your travel credit cards that have an annual fee, there’s one time of year that can feel absolutely magical: December.

Why? Because certain cards reset their benefits each calendar year — which allows travelers like us to unlock hundreds of extra dollars in value: double dipping and sometimes even triple dipping your credits.
