Upgrade to Platinum Delta SkyMiles Biz CC (Targeted)

What do you Delta enthusiasts think of this offer from Amex, targeted to me as a Delta Amex Biz CC holder?

It doesn't look very interesting to me. Effectively $95 for 5K MQMS. I am not likely to spend $50K on this card for another 20K MQM's, nor to reach Delta elite any other way. Nice to have the same account open for another year, but on balance it looks not worth it.


Am I missing something?
