A post on Reddit suggests that you can find a 50K offer, but with a $100 credit, by doing a dummy booking on Delta.com.
The offer should appear before you have to pay for the flight.

Note: Review the recent discussion in the thread about various other ways to try to locate offers as high as 50k+$50 credit.
Getting the statement credit:
MrMoonlight successfully purchased a Delta ecert (essentially a gift card) and received the statement credit. See this post..
Jacobsta811 also received $50 credit for $50 e-cert on both gold business and gold personal cards.
muji received $100 credit for $50 eCert on Delta Platinum card
sdsearch received $100 credit for $50 eCert on business Platinum card (see this post).
vah4883 received $100 credit for $5.6 tax on Platinum card
So there's no thread covering this card as a whole, which means no links in the dedicated CC offers thread, so I thought I would make one so UA Fan has something to link.
Delta cards are hard because the generic public offer at Amex is pretty bad (10k miles), but there are several ways to get a better offer:

Delta cards are hard because the generic public offer at Amex is pretty bad (10k miles), but there are several ways to get a better offer:
- Delta Amex Card. Input your SkyPesos number and last name. Do this in incognito mode to get the best results. I won't get any offer if I don't do it incognito. I get 35k for $750 in 3m.
- Delta.com Stock Offers.

What's the latest on the Amex Biz card churn status? The business card app says "Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product within the last 12 months."
Does that mean I have to have CANCELED my last Amex Delta Gold Biz card 12 months ago? Mine's been canceled 11 months now. Applied for it over 18 months ago. Good to go, or gotta wait another month or two still?

I got approved for the Delta Biz Gold card. I had the Delta Biz Platinum until not too long ago. Representative tells me they are considered the same product and I won't qualify for bonus. True?
I had a Delta Biz Platinum within the past 12 months, and was approved for the Delta Biz Gold now. I won't be getting the signup bonus if they are considered the same cards. I have a hard time finding out if they are or not. Some Amex agents tell me they are the same products, others tell me they are not. Any experience?

I was approved for the delta reserve amex. Haven't gotten the card in the mail yet but I see I have a $140 statement credit already. Does anyone know what offer I signed up on? I didn't notice or expect the statement credit, what else can I expect as far as bonuses?

It's not a tough question. They are not the same product. American Express agents might tell you that holding one disqualifies you from earning a bonus for the other, because those were the rules earlier in the year, and they could still be the rules from some offers.
Read the offer. Apply if you think you are eligible. Document every step of the process. Make the spend. Worry about the miles later.

the offer I applied for has the following language:
"Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product within the last 12 months".
Its for the Delta Biz Gold card.
As far as I understand, having the Delta Biz Plat should not disqualify me for the Delta Biz Gold. But agents are not so sure.
Thanks anyway.

Reps are often times wrong. Amex is the worst, I don't even bother verifying signup bonus terms with them. Do the required spend, see if the bonus posts and report back. It should.

We returned home from a cruise on the 18th and finally got around to apply one for myself yesterday on the 20th - to my surprise it was a pending versus almost all AMEX apps I had were instant approvals including the BRG last year.
My one and only deferred app was Everyday earlier this year - never got an acknowledgment email. Nobody found the app - status site did not show it - neither the New Account agent nor the chat rep could find my app - everyone told me the app did not go thru. Yet, an approval email came the next morning. That was done on Tuesday evening.
This time the acknowledge email of application took 20 minutes to come and the status site did show the app.
When I tried to call "New Account" then found out they closed at 6:30pm EST on Sat and would not open on Sunday (versus other banks seem to work the whole 7 days).
So now I have to wait till Monday to call - that would be 12/22, passed the 12/21 expiration of the offer. I remember in the past reading that AMEX cut off of bonus is based on approval, not application date.
I hope they have amended this policy as the T&Cs now said the application must be received by 12/21, and if not, then even AMEX approves the account, you would not earn bonus.
Lesson learned, NEVER do card application on weekends.
