Received Better Targeded Sign Up Bonus Days After Approval
On Oct 8th I applied and was approved for the Gold Delta SkyMiles cedit card with a sign up bonus of 60k skymiles after 3k in purchases. 5 Days later I received a targeted email for the very same Gold Delta SkyMiles credit card with a sign up bonus of 75k miles. 50k after the first 2k in purchases and then 25k more after an additional 1k in purchases. Obviously the targeted offer is much better as it is the same spend requirement is practically the same but I would receive 15k more skymiles. When I contacted the Amex chat line the agent said that they cannot give me a match to the new offer. I find this astonishing as the offer was received only 5 days after my account opening and I know other companies have done this for me before. I also could have sworn I have read that other have had success getting this accomplished with Amex as well. I would appreciate anyone who was successful in getting Amex to adjust the offer to match the new one and what methods they had to use in order to get them to do so.
