Please do not clown me too hard if this is a bad decision. I figure I should ask here before I make a bad decision.

    Would it be a bad decision to open the gold skymiles card just for SUB? I am booking a flight for end of May and they have a $500 SUB, first free checked back, and priority boarding if I buy a delta flight within the first 6 months. I do fly about once a year using delta out of DTW, but I would probably just use the SUB and downgrade to the blue card no annual fee card. I just do not know if there are any negatives to this or if this is a bad decision. Any advice?

    Getting Amex Skymiles Gold card for SUB and then downgrading?

      No judgement in this sub. That’s what we call “churning” and is what many here do anyway. Just make sure you wait a full year and for the annual fee to post before you do or you’ll get on Amex’s shit list.
