The starting credit limit for a Delta SkyMiles credit card can vary, with some cardholders reporting limits as low as $1,000 and others seeing initial limits as high as $15,000 (according to user feedback on forums). However, American Express does not publish specific starting credit limits for Delta SkyMiles cards, as these limits are assigned based on an applicant’s credit profile and income.
Factors such as a higher income and stronger credit score generally lead to a higher starting limit. Since exact credit limits aren’t disclosed upfront, you would need to apply to see what limit you qualify for.
If the starting limit isn’t ideal, you can request a credit limit increase after your account is open. To do so, you can log into your American Express online account or contact customer service at (800) 528-4800. For the best chances of a successful limit increase, consider waiting a few months after opening your account, making timely payments, and updating Amex with your current income details.
