Delta SkyMiles Reserve American Express Card: every recurring credit, worth $560/year

The Delta SkyMiles Reserve American Express Card carries $560 a year in countable credits across 3 recurring benefits, against a $650 annual fee.

The math

Amount
Countable credits per year$560
Annual fee$650

The countable credits ($560/yr) don't cover the $650 annual fee on perks alone — the card has to earn its keep elsewhere too.
