Received an Amex error credit on their Delta Gold without calling, after having been charged the annual fee on the very first statement despite a waived first year.

Eventually received an unprompted statement credit labelled as an Amex error for the wrongly charged Delta Gold annual fee, with a little extra added to cover interest.

Was wrongly charged the annual fee on a new Delta Gold and only got the credit after saying they would close the account; handled through chat with no proof required.

Got the same runaround over a wrongly charged Delta Gold annual fee; once they said they would close the card, Amex quickly completed its review and promised a refund.
Of the 63 reviews with a clear verdict, 33% are positive, 27% mixed and 40% negative. The praise mentioned most is great travel perks. The most common complaint is poor support.
The praise reviewers mention most: great travel perks (9 reviews), great rewards (6 reviews) and helpful support (2 reviews). For example: Hitting the 10k annual spend requirement last year during a cross-country move unlocked the 200 flight credit.
The complaints reviewers mention most: poor support (15 reviews), hidden fees (13 reviews) and hard to redeem (2 reviews). For example: Their Delta Gold annual fee dispute dragged on for weeks, and each follow-up call just got told to wait another week or two.
It's how well reviewed American Express Delta SkyMiles Gold American Express Card is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Travel rewards card. Type: Airline credit card. Fees: $0 annual fee the first year, then $150. Rates & rewards: 2x miles on Delta purchases, at restaurants and at U.S. supermarkets; 1x on other eligible purchases.
