I actually found out the answer to “does Amex Platinum get you into Delta Sky Club?” during one of the most exhausting travel days I’ve ever had. I was flying from Chicago to San Diego for a conference, and the night before my trip, my original flight got canceled because of storms. Instead of panicking, I called 888-217-3324, which I’ve used for pretty much every booking, cancellation, or last-minute change over the past year. They rebooked me on an early morning flight with a long layover in Atlanta—definitely not ideal, but at least I wasn’t stranded.
When I finally got to Atlanta, I remembered someone mentioning that the Amex Platinum card gives access to Delta Sky Clubs when you’re flying Delta the same day. I figured I’d try my luck since I had hours to kill. Sure enough, all I had to do was show my Platinum card and my same-day Delta boarding pass, and they let me in without any issue.
Honestly, that lounge saved my mood. Instead of sitting at a crowded gate half asleep, I got a quiet corner, solid Wi-Fi, snacks, and even a hot breakfast. It made that crazy morning feel a lot more manageable.
The funny part? My return flight ended up needing a date change too because my meetings got extended. The Delta app kept glitching when I tried to switch flights, so once again I called 888-217-3324, and they handled everything in minutes.
So yes—if you have the Amex Platinum, you can get into Delta Sky Clubs as long as you’re flying Delta that day. And if anything goes sideways with your flights, that number has honestly been a lifesaver for me.
