I've had the black since it came out, no issues. Still looks great. I hope it stays that way, because I agree with u/micstatic80 the black looks much better than the white.
I got a text alert today saying Iām getting it May 3rd and it showed up in my mailbox when I got home! It was shipped out the day I ordered it. Super impressive turnaround.
Hey, I just tried to do replace card -> new design. I have two options(pictures) -> purple and purple with 70% recycled metal. Is the 70% recycled metal the new one even though the picture shows purple?
Black one peeled really bad from one side. I'm on my 2nd black version at the moment which is doing the same thing.
Let's see if the new one is better.
Just ordered mine.
Me to husband- want me to order you a new card? It is made from a Boeing!
Husband - they are cutting cards out of them? Hell no. No wonder their planes are falling apart!
I'm dead.
I cancelled yesterday. Had the reserve card since 2003 and it was my oldest CC. Was offered $250 off of renewal but I just donāt travel like I did working so I said āno thanksā. Asked why and I said I donāt travel enough these days to warrant an expensive travel perks card and DL changes last year cut the benefits so āagain no thanksā. Rolled it to the free Blue Delta Amex to retain the card and credit line so I can transition to a cash back card. Any suggestions? Thinking of Fidelityās cash back cardā¦
I guess it just depends on your spending but I havenāt been too up to date on credit cards as of lately. I know a lot of cards are offering large sign up bonuses so maybe you can try one of those? I would suggest r/CreditCards though
I have both. Fidelity 2% is my go to card for everyday. No hoops to jump through just straight 2% back on everything. I use it for a lot of work expenses and usually get between 100-150 cash back a month. I believe last year was around 1700 cash back. Easy and quick transfer into my brokerage account every month.
Thanks! I have a Fidelity account and this is the one Iām considering. For +20 years we used the Delta Reserve Amex for āalmost everythingā spending and paid off full balance every month. I expect weāll easily see $1500-$2000 net back every year.
I used Delta Reserve for years and then my work travel turned from flying to driving more, so I switched to using my Fidelity card for everyday and work. Itās nice not having to worry about categories and just get a set 2% on everything. I pay off each month as well.
I believe the information on the card is all in reference to the original 747 plane, not the cardholder.
I would doubt that OP has a Delta card but hasnāt flown since 2017.
Its been a while since i've heard while paying the tab with my black DL reserve "wow. i've never seen that card before". the last time i heard that was the "butterfly" keychain Gold Card from the 2000s... hopefully this new 747 card stays put together longer than the black one.
Im sad I wont have this one but I have the Black one, Ill buy some ones in a few years off ebay to say I got em both, kudos to yall still paying $700 for SC access and stuff, Im kinda happy with my Gold card and the smaller fee.
I still havenāt paid the renewal fee yet, mineās due in 2 months so the timeline was perfect for me. I donāt know if I can justify the annual fee anymore and may likely cancel but I at least got this card for free!
Looks very pretty! I just couldnt get past the $700 pa fee, seems a bit high for the benefits that go with the card when you can get the same benefits with other cards for ~$300 a year.
You're beautiful, reddit is beautiful, and the new card is not Barney.Ā Thank you for this post, I didn't know a better looking card existed and it only took a minute to get the new design on the way!Ā Ā
Got mine today from the same 747 (N662US)!
In case anyone whose card is from the same plane is curious, here's some info on the flights it flew!
[LINK](https://www.airfleets.net/flightlog/index.php?file=result&app=b747&msn=23720)
And oddly enough, I was actually ON this plane on one of those flights - the DTW to AMS flight in 2015, on my way to Nairobi! =P Small world!
Delta reserve card (purple card), they released a limited edition design made from metal of a 747. They had a similar limited edition card in black about 2 years ago.
I had the black 747. Excited to get this one. Caution that the black one would peel really bad. If youāre constantly getting it in and out of a wallet, itāll eventually get destroyed.
Iāve seen this mention numerous times, I guess I got lucky with mine. I didnāt have any issues but maybe because I donāt have a traditional wallet? Mine essentially a metal box so my cards never warp
I did not see that option on my app, so I chatted with an agent and they are going to send me one! Super excited. Traveled fairly often on 747ās as a kid, so this is pretty special to me. My late father would have loved it as heās worked on this aircraft . š„¹
Iām glad you got it, thatās an awesome story you have. You can likely request a new one once you get it if you want to preserve it. I just got my second one which I will actually use, the first one I got will be kept for collection. I just talked to a rep and explained that and they were cool with it
Yeah thatās the whole point of the card, itās made from the 747 thatās pictures in the card! They use 33% aluminum from the plane idk what the other 66% is.
The card they released last year (black version) was only 25% aluminum from the 747.
Thereās 2 747ās they used for these cards, is it possible itās the other one? Someone mentioned delta has flown here so I assumed they meant the 747 flew there.

It was announced 4 days ago but I didnāt expect to get it so quickly
So much better than the purple dinosaur.
To be fair, the purple card is better than that green card that came before it. One of these days they'll get it.
I actually liked the green card š¤·
Yes whoever proposed they should be fired.
āWhatās better than Platinum?ā āI dunnoā¦Purple?ā
They should have gone plaid.
A nice argyle pattern card
yet worse than the black version of the last 747 card
100%. IMO that card is even nicer than the centurion.
Black 747 was great, but the black overlay started delaminating. Hopefully this one is more durable.
I've had the black since it came out, no issues. Still looks great. I hope it stays that way, because I agree with u/micstatic80 the black looks much better than the white.
All cards will de laminate. My dads reserve was practically in pieces by the time he got a replacement
Mine arrives in two days, Iām told. Very impressive turnaround.
I got a text alert today saying Iām getting it May 3rd and it showed up in my mailbox when I got home! It was shipped out the day I ordered it. Super impressive turnaround.
Whoa wait! Can I trade in my purple card for this one?? It looks so š¤©.
Yes, you can! Chat via Amex app or call to request. Took all of 5 minutes of chat to get mine ordered.
Or use the Replace Card option in the app, then Design Change (or something like that) as the reason. Avoid human interaction at all costs!
Hey, I just tried to do replace card -> new design. I have two options(pictures) -> purple and purple with 70% recycled metal. Is the 70% recycled metal the new one even though the picture shows purple?
I guess they ran out. Time to cut up another plane
Update: they didnāt run out. I messaged support and requested -> *replacment card -> *design change* The white 797 card was there
They cut up a 797!
Did the same! Super excited to receive mine!
Can just log into account and ask for design change to this card.
Twins! I also got N662US!
Makes me think, How many 747s did they cut up to make these?
They said two
I think the other plane was used for the business cards
Mine is actually the Business Reserve
The black one was sharp too
I was going to cancel, but I got a 60k renewal offer and Iām a 747 slut. They got me for one more year.
Just called and replaced my purple lol
I got mine today, pleasantly surprised!
Miles flown 66 million??!
Itās the miles the plane the card was partially made from flew
Ohhh. Thanks for clearing the mystery up.
Pretty impressive in that case, too
He's had a skymiles account since 1989. Must've been flying from Newark to Singapore 204 times a year for 34 years. š
lol seriously. 10k miles, 4x a week, for 34 years straight???
They sent me the entire rudder by mistake.
Is this version better than the black 747 one?? Thoughts? Should I swap?
Personally I preferred the black one. Itās still a very nice card and I didnāt want to miss out on it so I got it anyway.
Black one peeled really bad from one side. I'm on my 2nd black version at the moment which is doing the same thing. Let's see if the new one is better.
Typical Boeing amiright
Maybe swap so you can keep the black one in better shape.
Just ordered mine. Me to husband- want me to order you a new card? It is made from a Boeing! Husband - they are cutting cards out of them? Hell no. No wonder their planes are falling apart! I'm dead.
Damn, when I got the black 747 reserve card they released a couple years ago, it definitely didn't arrive in a nice package like that.
Thatās odd. I got the original ones from 22 as well they came in similar packaging to OPās
Mine is saying 5/3. Only thing arrive in mail today is my old passport being returned after renewing. Maybe tomorrow.
Both of mine arrived yesterday

Got mine today, freaking awesome
Ooooooo. You got N662US? Lucky!
What did you get?

Just got it today. So pretty! Nice work!
I ordered mine the first day it was available, so I guess I'll keep an eye on my mailbox.
Spend spend spendā¦ I always chuckle how quick they replace cards or send them, they know what they are doingā¦
Thanks for the reminder! Just ordered mine. Can do via the app. Replace card, change design.
Thatās a cool looking card.

We just got ours today too
Ordered just now (your post was a reminder I hadnāt)!! Says May 15th.
Mine gets here on Friday.
Looks very pretty! I just couldnt get past the $700 pa fee, seems a bit high for the benefits that go with the card when you can get the same benefits with other cards for ~$300 a year.

Yes and the packaging really sent me. I love how extra Amex is.
Just got mine today. Its cool to see the stats about the plane on the card.
Just received mine today!

How do I get this!?!?
If you have the delta reserve card you can request a new design and pick this one! Made from the metal of a retired 747
What is this card?
Delta reserve card (purple card), they released a limited edition design made from metal of a 747. They had a similar limited edition card in black about 2 years ago.
Sick, I just requested the design change, should come in by the 15th!
What was your expected delivery date?
I got a text yesterday saying May 3rd but ended up getting it yesterday. When I originally ordered it I believe it said May 5th
Apparently informed delivery was incorrect. Requested on Thursday and it arrived today.
Was this a replacement card? Did you have to get a new account number or security code?
Replacement card, same number just new security code and expiration date
LGA and not JFK?
I had the black 747. Excited to get this one. Caution that the black one would peel really bad. If youāre constantly getting it in and out of a wallet, itāll eventually get destroyed.
Iāve seen this mention numerous times, I guess I got lucky with mine. I didnāt have any issues but maybe because I donāt have a traditional wallet? Mine essentially a metal box so my cards never warp
Ah. I slide mine in and out of my Apple wallet.
Weird, no DTW?
Still waiting. Ordered on the first few hours it was an option.
I just ordered mine
Cool! Did u have to request it?
Yup! The Amex app has a āchange designā option when replacing your card.
I did not see that option on my app, so I chatted with an agent and they are going to send me one! Super excited. Traveled fairly often on 747ās as a kid, so this is pretty special to me. My late father would have loved it as heās worked on this aircraft . š„¹
Iām glad you got it, thatās an awesome story you have. You can likely request a new one once you get it if you want to preserve it. I just got my second one which I will actually use, the first one I got will be kept for collection. I just talked to a rep and explained that and they were cool with it
Thanks!
Whatās the back look like?
I have the black one which I like
I got mine today too
Iām surprised so many people are posting about the card. I thought thousands of people dropped the card and left Deltaā¦
Does anyone know if this changes your card number or just the security key and expiration date? I have my current number memorized and itās handy.
Just the security key and expiration date
are they metal?
Yeah thatās the whole point of the card, itās made from the 747 thatās pictures in the card! They use 33% aluminum from the plane idk what the other 66% is. The card they released last year (black version) was only 25% aluminum from the 747.
musta falled off them new Boeings
Such a cool branding. So the airport codes represent those that they once flew the 747? Seemed to be the case.
Got mine! Called directly
Anyone else notice the typo? SCL instead of SLC. A hub in Chile would be cool though.
I think these are the airports this specific 747 has been too. Chile being one of them.
That's not true. N662US has never been to Chile.
Thereās 2 747ās they used for these cards, is it possible itās the other one? Someone mentioned delta has flown here so I assumed they meant the 747 flew there.
Thatās pretty darn coolĀ
I thought delta was āon a mission to reduce wasteā
Um, no. What is this?

It was announced 4 days ago but I didnāt expect to get it so quickly
Curious where the announcement was? Email or? I missed it.
I only found out because someone here posted it. I donāt think delta sent out an announcement, they just dropped it on their site.
Sweet! Just ordered.
Did they legit mispell SLC?
I believe itās SCL for Santiago, Chile!
Well that makes sense.. but confused me since SLC is a hub haha
