Strong middle-tier Delta card. The annual companion certificate alone covers the $350 fee for any couple flying domestic. Sky Club access at member rate is also better than nothing.
A good choice for Delta loyalists. The free checked bag and $200 flight credit easily offset the $150 annual fee if you fly Delta a few times a year.
