I tend to focus on flights more than credit cards, but I just signed up for a similar offer delta.com gave me when I was looking at flights:
no fee first year
$100 statement credit with first DL purchase
25,000 miles with first purchase
45,000 miles after spending $5,000 in 6 months

I was signed in and was looking at a roundtrip from BOS to SEA with a mix of U and L fares. The $100 statement credit and 70k miles offer was not the first offer that came up, but it was the only one that looked worth signing up for.

Looking for offers in my Delta account, I (US-based, English speaking flyer) got this:

Only reason might be I used 25K miles to book a PEK-NRT RT last year?

I WAS targeted for 75k after applying for 50k. Prior to activating card I got them to assure me in writing (snail mail)after spending over an hour on phone line that I would get 75k once spend was met.Made spend late Nov 11.Early Dec 11 50k points appeared in account.Called again about extra 25k.Received a 2nd letter assuring I would get the extra 25k.Two months later still no extra points.Not a wonderful introduction to AMEX.
I've done it multiple times and it's worked like a charm. You may even suggest some bonus points for your troubles and they may give you some.
Good luck!

I don't have an AMEX card but my mom and husband do. So, when I went to the page I didn't see any special offers, even though none of my family members were signed in to AMEX. As someone else said, must be a cookie. I did a private session on Firefox, went to the page, and was able to sign in for special offers.
I had to give my name, address, and last 4 of my social. I got targeted for both the PR Gold and Delta offers mentioned above. I have never flown Delta in my life (they seem to have a very limited presence in Chicago), so it can't be based on being a Delta elite or anything like that. It seems to me that AMEX is just trying to recruit new card holders.
I will have to think on this since the first year annual fees are waived. I was wanting to apply for the Priority Club 80k since I got targeted for that as well. Decisions, decisions.

If you haven't had DELTA Amex, you can get them. I recently got a DL Amex after cancelling about two years ago. No one knows for sure what the time period is after cancellation and re-applying, but two years is the conventional wisdom.
If you haven't had the DL card in the past, this is a good offer.

So I have to go to the amex website in Incognito Mode in Chrome to access this "special offer for you" link.
I'm hesitant to put in my name and my SS number to see what offers I am targeted for because I already have an AMEX and so i'm afraid I'll get a hit on my credit and it will not allow me to get the car.

You can always get the Prioirity Club card later. In any case the difference between the regular Priority Club offer of 60,000 points and the targeted offer of 80,000 points is only 20,000 points (80,000 - 60,000) which is worth $120 since you can buy Priority Club points for 0.6 cents per points.
But the difference between the 75K Premier Rewards Gold & the regular offer of 25K is 50K points which is worth much more than the extra 20K Priority Club points.
Same with the Delta card.
