Event summary
American Express and Delta Air Lines have expanded perks for their co-branded Delta SkyMiles cards, including a complimentary second checked bag and new rideshare credits, without increasing annual fees. This move aims to attract premium customers and strengthen card usage, which supports American Express's cash flows and dividend sustainability, even as analysts watch for any potential margin pressure from increased customer engagement costs. Despite recent revenue growth coming in below expectations, the company reaffirmed its $0.95 quarterly dividend.
