[Live] American Express & Delta To Add Second Checked Bag Free For Cardholders

According to twitter user xJonNYC on June 4, 2026 eligible American Express & Delta will add an additional benefit where eligible cardholders will be able to check a second bag for no additional fees on Delta & Delta connection operated flights

Update 6/4/26: As rumored this is now live. Shows up on Gold, Platinum & Reserve. 

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

Delta recently increase baggage fees and a second bag currently costs $55. xJonNYC is extremely reliable so I’d be surprised if this doesn’t end up happening. We have reached out to both American Express & Delta for comment.
