AFAIK, this is the only means of pulling Global Upgrade Certs (that I have access to), so it's generally high-value, but I don't do enough non-work travel for that to really make sense (I've wasted them in the past).

MQD acceleration can be useful, but just take note of the year they apply to. Gifting status can also be super useful if you're feeling generous!

I have both the Delta Skymiles Reserve and Platinum cards, so personally, I'll likely take the statement credits all around, since they're the closest to real cash and decent value. (I use the Reserve nearly exclusively for spend in the first part of the year until I hit Diamond MQDs.)
