What to know about Delta's new Sky Club rules

• Platinum card members will have 10 visits, according to Delta. SkyMiles Reserve cardholders will max out at 15.

Why it matters: Access to the lounges, which feature buffets, full-service bars and (in some locations) private bathrooms and showers, is one of the perks of carrying a Delta Amex.

• But the popularity of the partnership has contributed to overcrowding in the lounges, which are designed for space, comfort and amenities.

Catch up quick: In fall 2023, Delta faced backlash from customers after the airline announced changes to the SkyMiles status program and lounge access, Axios' Joann Muller previously reported.

• In response, the airline walked back some of those proposed changes by upping Reserve members' visit limit from 10 to 15 and dialing down the spending threshold to achieve elite frequent flyer status.

The fine print: Cardholders who use up all their visits can pay $50 to access the lounge.

Caveat: Cardholders who spend $75,000 with the card in a calendar year unlock unlimited visits.
