I noticed other people said that, after they got approved for this card, it now says "Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Cardmember" under their name when they log into their SkyMiles account. My wife and I just got approved for this card last night, and so I just checked our SkyMiles accounts and it seems that my wife's account says "Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Cardmember", but my account does not. Should I be worried?
Neither of us previously had a SkyMiles account, so we both created one right before applying for this AMEX card. We did all of this within minutes of each other. We're also both first-time AMEX cardholders. So it seems strange that there would be a difference like this between our two SkyMiles accounts. Anyone have any thoughts on why this is the case?

So you end up with 75K miles, 5K more and you have enough for 2 R/t domestic flights................That's about $1000 MSP to TPA in early April plus free bags

I was able to get to the sign up page earlier this afternoon while at work, but now that I'm home and ready to submit my application, it says that it is no longer available.
Does anybody happen to have ANY way to get this deal back? It was the perfect deal for me at the perfect time. Can't believe I missed it!

So you spent $5000 for 2 domestic r/t flights, hopefully, if you can get that at 35k pp (hint: are your flights booked yet... you are being realistic arent you???).
Delta sold you a $5000 round trip domestic ticket?? A $4000 mark up (wait mods, relax, we all know that's not the whole picture) So....
...wait for it...
...wait for it...
... @:-) ...there it is.... Bahahhaaaaaa ahhaaaaaa aaahhhhhhaaaaaaaa
This is the realization the hangover hasnt set in yet...
Okay, and yes I realize your my goals are not mine. And I should not judge your goals!!!
So, I would venture to guess, venture to assume even, that you would make the $5000 spend regardless anyway, so this is a good economy trip to florida (that is usually about $350pp), but this is as good a good reason as any (right
), because if its free!! ($5000 free, over months of spend)I do not really expect to see the flood to threads will be abound by those wanting ideas that were not "spending regardless."
...oooh, bad hangover.....
...waking up from the fog now....
who slipped me a mickey?
EDIT: Okay, okay, so, a goooood reasoning would be to top off for international redemption. (where's the idea light bulb for edits?)
