As someone else said, this is not close to BA 100K at all. BA 100K is possible to get many domestic awards out of because of BA's pricing and AA's availability. Delta 70K ... lucky to get 2 coach tickets.

$5K is a lot to put on a Delta card, if you're not earning MQMs for elite status.

Amex officially says that you cannot currently hold a Delta personal card at that moment, must be at least a year removed from holding that particular card (no Gold Delta card for at least a year), and must be at least 90 days removed from holding any Delta consumer credit card (Plat or Reserve).
