The verdict
On a typical year of household spending, the Delta SkyMiles® Gold earns about $382 a year in rewards and the Robinhood Gold Card about $911, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Delta SkyMiles® Gold charges $150, but carries about $200 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. The Robinhood Gold Card charges $50, which you clear through its rewards and perks. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Robinhood Gold Card delivers more total value, about $529 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on everything else and travel. Neither leans on transferable points, so the deciding factors are the welcome offer, the card network, and which everyday perks you will actually use. On the sign-up bonus, the Delta SkyMiles® Gold currently has the larger welcome offer (a limited-time offer above its usual amount, so treat it as a one-time boost). A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the Robinhood Gold Card if your spending leans toward dining, groceries, gas.
