According to Twitter user xJonNYC on June 4, 2026, American Express & eligible Delta will add an additional benefit where eligible cardholders will be able to check a second bag at no additional charge on Delta & Delta connecting flights. Travel must be within the United States, including the contiguous 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Current cardholders get their first checked bag free.

Delta has recently increased their baggage fees and a second bag is currently $55. xJonNYC is extremely reliable, so I’d be surprised if this doesn’t end up happening. We’ve reached out to American Express and Delta for comment.
