Delta Reserve AmEx Additional Cards
Question for the AmEx reserve card holders out there.
What is the benefit for paying the $175 and getting an additional AmEx Delta Reserve card for my other employees over paying nothing and getting AmEx Delta Platinum cards for my other employees on my account.
Is it just access to the AmEx Concierge and SkyClubs?

In my experience, that's basically it. I got an additional card for my wife, realized that she did not accrue spending toward MQM miles and really only got the benefit of SC access. Ended up cancelling the card (interestingly, got it before she took one of her few flights of the year and they prorated the annual fee back over the time that she had it, which may have actually made it cheaper than a SC day pass or 2). Now she has her own AmEx gold and it meets her needs just fine. She still gets priority boarding, free bags, etc. with not nearly the annual fee and she buys a SC day pass when she's travelling alone and can't piggy back on mine.

As far as AMEX only services, I would think all additional cardholders would have the same level as you.
