Annual visit caps replace unlimited Sky Club access for Amex cardholders
Unlimited Sky Club visits → 10 per year (Platinum cards); 15 (Delta Reserve)
Effective February 1, 2025 (announced in 2023), Delta capped Sky Club access for American Express cardholders: Platinum and Business Platinum cards receive 10 visits per Medallion Year and Delta Reserve cards receive 15, replacing unlimited access. Unlimited access can be restored by spending $75,000 in a calendar year on the relevant card. All Sky Club entries within a 24-hour period count as a single visit, and limits are per card, so holders of multiple eligible cards can stack allotments. The change was among the most significant lounge-access reductions to reach a mass cardholder base.
What to do: Cluster same-day lounge stops into one 24-hour "visit," and stack allotments if you hold multiple eligible cards.
