NEW YORK — American Express and Delta Air Lines unveiled the next version of the limited-edition Boeing 747 Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card design. Following the enthusiastic response from Card Members when first launched in 2022, there will be twice as many cards produced in 2024 made from two Delta 747 planes that were retired in 2017 after more than 27 years of service.
The Card is available exclusively for Delta SkyMiles Reserve and Reserve Business Card Members from April 25 through June 5, 2024, while supplies last. The new limited-edition design comes after recent enhancements made to the Delta SkyMiles American Express Cards to improve the travel experience and deliver everyday value to Card Members.
The Skymiles Reserve card has a $650 annual fee.
In 2022, American Express and Delta launched the first iteration of the limited-edition Boeing Delta 747 Card design, one of the most iconic airplanes in aviation history. The new design is made with 33% metal from a retired Delta Boeing 747 plane, has a white glossy finish which is inspired by clouds, and will feature each aircraft’s history, including their first and last flights, tail number and number of miles flown.
“We’re bringing back one of our most popular Card designs ever with a new look honoring the ‘Queen of the Skies,” said Jon Gantman, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cobrand Product Management at American Express. “Given the strong response from customers with our first Card design, we wanted to find another exciting opportunity for aviation enthusiasts and Card Members to have a piece of aviation history in their wallets.”
“At Delta, innovation and experience are at the core of everything we do,” said Prashant Sharma, V.P. of Loyalty at Delta Air Lines. “Each card carries the legacy of countless journeys and embodies the spirit of exploration that drives our customers and all of us at Delta. When combined with the recently enhanced benefits, these cards provide a nod to our storied past and symbolize the elevated experiences our customers can expect in their future travels.”
