Is it worth trying to earn Delta Silver Elite Status? What Benefits Will I Get?
Is Delta Silver SkyMiles worth it? I’m so close to getting it and want to know if it is worth going for and what benefits I can expect.

I have it and I haven’t noticed any benefit. I am working towards Gold but wondering what I will see? Really, other than boarding earlier I see no benefit.

The notable perk is choosing preferred seating and exit row for free

Silver is useful especially when you travel internationally. It allows you to check luggage that is heavier than normal. 70lbs vs 50lbs on certain routes. It does boost you above the plebes who do not have status on upgrades. It also gets you a discount in Clear, I think. Can be useful for status match opportunities.

Most of the perks of Silver status come with the AmEx Delta Gold card, which is only $95 AF. Not worth it. That being said, 650 MQM is almost nothing, so, while I wouldn’t do a miles run specifically to hit status, I might use this as an excuse to take a cheap weekend trip somewhere before the end of year.

They mailed me luggage tags. I was too embarrassed to attach them.
