Question #1: If I reapply, will they offer the miles incentive and if so, how long do I have to wait to reapply??
Question #2: Delta is the only airline which flies from my home town. Is there any suggestions out there regarding receiving free frequent flier miles or better credit cards out there for Delta Airlines?
If this is confusing, I am sorry......if further info is needed to make an intelligent reply, please let me know.
Thank you.
The bad news is that AMEX has a long memory and does not tend to allow more than one bonus per type of card.
The good news is that there are numerous cards that either earn Skymiles or earn points that can be converted into Skymiles. To name the obvious:
Delta AMEX
SPG AMEX
AMEX Membership Rewards
If you spread out getting a personal & business card for each, you could have 6 years of free cards plus 6 bonuses (i.e., a different type of card each year, cancelling before the annual fee posts).
If you search through the "Other Credit Cards" forum, you can find all sorts of good advice. Good luck.
