The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum earns about $474 a year in rewards and the United Club℠ Business Card about $699, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Delta SkyMiles® Platinum charges $350, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The United Club℠ Business Card charges $695, which you clear through its rewards and perks. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Delta SkyMiles® Platinum delivers more total value, about $120 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it skips the annual fee the other charges. 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 two are currently comparable in size. Note that Delta SkyMiles® Platinum is running a limited-time offer above the usual amount, so that edge may not last. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the United Club℠ Business Card if your spending leans toward advertising, shipping, office supplies.
