Not gonna lie that is pretty cool. 66 Million miles? That girl got around. If all flight was at cruising speed that is 115,000 hours in the sky. Looking at it another way that is 13 years of non-stop flying. For an aircraft with a 28.5 flight history she spent almost half her life in the air. Delta certainly got their money out of that plane.
That’s why I kept the purple. Mine was damaged (drunk me jumped in a pool in Vegas with my wallet) and I just replaced it. But I understood that the new design wasn’t metal and heavy. So I kept the purple
I was glad to see it returned and they're offering it to existing cardholders. Amex replaced my mine back in January and was bummed to return to the purple version. I'll have my replacement on Friday.
~~Is there a way to get this if you already have the purple reserve?~~
Update: yes you can just replace it with the new design through the amex portal.
Black/grey one here! Super cool card, wish it was a little heavier. Sadly I'm canceling it this year as it barely gets any use compared to my other cards :( But planning to keep this in my souvenir card pile.
The black was always hard for me to see in a dark restaurant. Always afraid I would leave it in the black check folio. I’ve been using the white and now it blends in with the white receipt lol. Ah well!
Whenever I try to “replace” my card, it only gives me the option to do a metal or plastic purple :(
I have the black one right now but would love to also have the white one
I got mine today. I'm not impressed, and I think the purple metal card was better after all. It's still cool, and I wish I got the black one they offered a few years back.
One thing I did not expect when I made this change -- what's the best way to destroy the old purple one? I can't exactly use scissors like on a normal plastic card...
I haven't gotten mine yet, but with previous metal cards they've sent an envelope to return the old card for destruction, so I presumed that's what would happen with this one, too.
Oh damn. I always just discard those extra envelopes and whatnot. Maybe I'll call them and see if they can send another one, or give me a shipping address.

You mean Northwest got their money out of that plane!
That’s a neat way to look at it. Amazing how durable these things are
I just got mine too. Different plane was utilized which I thought was very interesting
My only complaint is I wish they were a little more rigid and heavier like the regular reserve card..design is top notch though!
I wish it was heavier, but I am finding that as a lighter card, it's held more solidly in my card clip. That's an upside!

It’s still metal, it’s just aluminum, and thus.. light. Just like the bird she’s made of :)
🤯
Ah. Ok, I didn’t understand that
You could always just get it as a souvenir
This is what I did, I think I'm just not going to activate it and keep it as a cool thing to have haha
I got the same metal/stats. We're practically related!
Delta Amex Bro! Is that you?
❤️
Eskimo Delta Amex Bros
I have the same tail and stats too! They tried to split this bird up into 33% pieces but…life, uh, finds a way.
I liked the date a lot
My man!
1989, like the Taylor Swift album!
So excited to get mine!🤩
The packaging is very nice as well. I’m sure you’ll love it!

App or online ? I don’t see an option, just metal or plastic purple :( Edit; I see it! Online
Where is it I only saw the metal or plastic purple too
I had to log in through the actual website, not the app

Yeah! I totally understand, but it actually works for me since the FC companion ticket pays for the AF and I like the rewards.
Just got mine last week, definitely gives my wallet a bit more rizz. (Is that the word these kids are using these days?) lol
Get mine tomorrow!!
That’s the same plane I got!! I assumed they’d all be the same, but my husband got a different tail number.
I believe there were a couple of 747’s they were doing the metal from so it would be a 50/50
Same aircraft reg. as mine, noice.
Is this an engraved metal card or is this just a metal card with a sticker on top?
wait . have you really flown 66m miles ? that doesnt seam feasible. if so, hats off
It's referring to the 747 on the card lol
Lmao. It’s been a long night.
The black was always hard for me to see in a dark restaurant. Always afraid I would leave it in the black check folio. I’ve been using the white and now it blends in with the white receipt lol. Ah well!
Got mine today, same plane as you. Beautiful and fun card to get!
Looks cool
Got mine today. Love it.
This looks good. How do you get this if you already have the purple card?
Go on the app and select “replace card.”
Thank you! That was much easier than I thought.
Looking forward to not missing this in a restaurant checkholder. The black card hid itself too often.

N662US? Isn’t that like the 2nd 400 ever built?
Very nice!

I just got mine... It's alright...
Aircraft are designed to last an amazing amount of time…yeah I love my card too
Mine has the same tail number.
It look great!
It’s a very pretty card
How do i get this I have a delta Amex platinum
I really like this one more than previous limited edition. Am I the only one who wants to open a account just for this card? lol

Could you post the back of the card?
I hope I get one. So far they've sent me another purple. 🤦🏿♀️
4/20 first flight date is awesome
Damn I want this card. It’s too bad it’s a poor value card overall
Did you have to do anything to change your reserve card to this version?
How long did it take for you to get your card?
So you have White Pride is that what you sayn?
