Probably not. I'll bet that anything that typically qualifies for the $200/year reimbursement credit will also qualify for this promo. If correct, that means you could spend $100+ in change fees, food, baggage, flights, gift certs, or anything else billed by Delta and it will count... as long as it meets that threshold *per transaction* (i.e., paying $25 on four different flights, once at a time, won't qualify).

Wish I would really get one of these promos like this, I just spent $5k on DL tickets all for myself...I would like to know how I can become cool and get on the targeted list for these awesome promos.

This is very good to know as it gives me a behavior to reference when I ask that they credit for our tickets. I'll wait until statement closed and paid before asking though.
We have 13 one-ways at an average of $130 purchased so far. About half we would have purchased anyway... The other half though, well, it would be very disappointing to not have this promo work out.

It's just a regular gold card, and I was able to use my login/pass to register for the promotion. I did have some purchases made on the 24th that haven't posted yet, so I'll let you know if those don't post quickly.

Smart move on the one-ways (though, if you aren't already, be careful that you don't kill any other promo-qualifying opportunities that require round-trips for expedited status, or similar). I'm doing the same in some cases... breaking up purchases into one-ways, limiting voucher use so as to leave $100+ on purchases instead of completely wiping out the cost, etc.

I also wish I could break down some of my vouchers. I'm all out of any less than $75 which were especially useful for bringing total price close to $100.
Finally, it was through this promo that I discovered the Amex Plat will reimburse for tickets beyond $100, up to, say, $125 or so. My DH's Amex Plat bill is pretty funny... Almost entirely Delta purchases with a global entry reimbursement thrown in for good measure.

I didn't qualify, and I have 6 AMEX cards including the pers & biz gold cards.
Oh well.
For those looking for Delta $100 flights, there's direct flights from Chicago to NYC roundtrip for like $110...
