“Celebrate Spring with 20% Bonus Miles”
In my statement today:
"What's the perfect way to celebrate spring? Earning 20% bonus miles on all eligible purchases you make with your Delta Skymiles Credit Card!
Earning 20% bonus miles is easier than you think. Just enroll, then use the card...from March 1 through April 30, 2006.
Visit Link to enroll."
Enrollment required by 4/30/06. 8-12 weeks for points to post. Blah blah.
P.S. I have a Gold SkyMiles Amex

Dang, I really need to get one of these credit cards. Even the GA on Monday told me I should have the DL Amex.

Some additional info. The link allows you to register both your personal and business DL AMEX cards. Or at least it allowed me to do so. Double miles would have been a whole lot better but every little bit helps, I suppose. Thanks, OP.

I believe a similar offer was available earlier this year to targeted customers, and it seemed that only Gold cards were targeted. I was just able to enroll my platinum business card.
Also, if I recall correctly, last year's January offer of an additional 20.05% was not applied to "Always Double Miles" purchases (i.e., those purchases earned 1.0 bonus mile per dollar, not 1.2 bonus miles). But the T&C of this promotion seem to indicate that Always Double Miles purchases will earn 1.2 bonus miles (a total of 2.2 miles) per dollar spent. Then again, I may be mis-remembering last year's T&Cs.

Before anyone else enrolls, you might want to try and enroll for double miles in Feb at americanexpress.com/deltaenroll first. Not sure if this is a targeted promo or not but I was told my card was not eligible and I'm wondering if it was because I signed up for the spring promo.

The double miles promo is targeted. My gold card was not valid. I guess I'll take my 20% and like it.

Thank you for your interest in the Double Miles on Everything promotion. The promotion ended on December 31, 2005.
Me thinks the 20% sign up had nothing to do with it not working seeing as how we are nearly 1.5 months into 2006.

The current, targeted offer for double miles that you might want to check before signing up for the 20% offer is at http://www.americanexpress.com/deltapromo . Note that it's deltaPROMO, not deltaENROLL.
