Also visit our post from last week which provides some more commentary on these cards.

Delta Airlines is revising the access to their SkyClub Business
Class lounges. The primary changes are for those who buy the
memberships or for those who get access via a credit card.Here in Canada
the only people affected on the credit card front are The Platinum Card from American Express cardholders who will lose the ‘free guest’
benefit. The primary cardholder will still get free access but guests will have to pay:

Beginning May 1, 2014, all customers who receive complimentary Delta Sky Club access as a benefit of their eligible credit or charge card will no longer receive complimentary guest access. A $29 fee per guest will apply.

Full details can be found here.
