It does take a little bit of training to remember to pull out my Delta Reserve Amex, as it isn&#8217;t usually where I put my dining spending (that&#8217;s usually my <span class=\"jsx-eb69f9b09a3de1d0 jsx-eea0d1f218f5e80b\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/apply-now\/the-american-express-gold-card\/?tid=post\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"jsx-eb69f9b09a3de1d0 jsx-eea0d1f218f5e80b applyLink inherit\">American Express\u00ae Gold Card<\/a><\/span>) \u2014 but the new monthly statement credits help offset the higher Delta Amex annual fees,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Like Nick, Gabe has also found that he can earn the monthly statement credit by purchasing restaurant gift cards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of my favorite local Resy restaurants that uses Toast as its point-of-sale system also sells gift cards on its website that also process via Toast,&#8221; he said. &#8220;In my experience, those seem to trigger the statement credit since it&#8217;s the same restaurant, same charge \u2014 then I can save up for an even nicer night out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen other anecdotal evidence that a gift card purchase will typically trigger the statement credit, but your mileage may vary based on how the restaurant charges your card.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"bottom-line\" class=\"jsx-2362441780 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-2362441780\">Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>Used every month, the Resy statement credit can be worth up to $240 per year. Combined with up to $120 in annual ride-hailing statement credits and the Delta Stays statement credit worth up to $200, that&#8217;s $560 per year in savings, which falls only $90 short of my Delta Reserve Amex&#8217;s $650 annual fee. Enrollment required for select benefits.<\/p>\n<p>When I factor in the card&#8217;s other benefits, like an annual companion certificate, <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/ultimate-guide-delta-sky-club-access\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Delta Sky Club lounge access<\/a>* and free checked bags, I can easily squeeze $650 in value from this card.
