Obviously, you have to supply your social security number. This is a bit worrysome(identity theft, etc.) - what are your opinions.

Thanks - Bamboo
The AMEX Delta is a decent way to get a quick 25k, but there may be better offers. Dig around on this forum a bit. One example is the PREMIER REWARDS GOLD CARD FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS; $175 annual fee, waived the first year; 3x for flights, 2x for fuel. The "miles" can be transfered into several programs - including Delta. More information can be found in the thread on this card. They had a promo a while back that gave 50k. If you are not in a hurry follow this forum and something else will likey come up that is better.

Good luck!
