A post on Reddit suggests that you can find a 50K offer, but with a $100 credit, by doing a dummy booking on Delta.com.
The offer should appear before you have to pay for the flight.

Getting the statement credit:
MrMoonlight successfully purchased a Delta ecert (essentially a gift card) and received the statement credit. See this post..
Jacobsta811 also received $50 credit for $50 e-cert on both gold business and gold personal cards.
muji received $100 credit for $50 eCert on Delta Platinum card
sdsearch received $100 credit for $50 eCert on business Platinum card (see this post).
vah4883 received $100 credit for $5.6 tax on Platinum card
So there's no thread covering this card as a whole, which means no links in the dedicated CC offers thread, so I thought I would make one so UA Fan has something to link.
Delta cards are hard because the generic public offer at Amex is pretty bad (10k miles), but there are several ways to get a better offer:

Delta cards are hard because the generic public offer at Amex is pretty bad (10k miles), but there are several ways to get a better offer:
- Delta Amex Card. Input your SkyPesos number and last name. Do this in incognito mode to get the best results. I won't get any offer if I don't do it incognito. I get 35k for $750 in 3m.
- Delta.com Stock Offers.

I'm surprised there isn't a run for previous holders to get another Delta Gold before new restrictions.

Does anyone know if the $50 Delta credit ( I bought a $50 DL GC) counts toward the $1000 spend ?
Do I have to spend $1,050 or just the $1000 ?
Thanks

I had this card and cancelled it less than two months ago.
I just applied using a Chrome incognito window at deltaamexcard.com and got the "We're Sorry" screen. I then went over to the offer link at millionmilesecrets and got approved for 30k/$50 credit after $1k/3 mo spend. Even if I don't get the bonus, I will use this card to access Pay With Miles, since I can never find a saver award ticket for dates I want. I will likely wait to start burning miles that way until I confirm the saver award inventory has not improved in 2015. (I don't expect it to.)

Amex gives the miles a few days after you completed spend, and not when statement closes. If you spend just $1,000 and the miles don't post, you'll know you'll need to spend $50 more.

i opened the delta PLAT. CC at the end of March, I met the 1000 requirements. My bill statement closed couple days ago, the purchase miles were posted to my DL account, however, the bonus miles havent yet, almost a month now. I chatted with representative online, she told me the miles will be posted within 4 weeks after the statement closed.....
so should I be patient? or keep bothering them?

Does anyone know of a cheap way to generate a delta charge that will trigger the $50 statement credit for the Delta Gold AMEX? I'm not interested in buying a $50 GC or lounge pass. Thanks.

I took advantage of a bonus on a DL Gold back in 2001 (my first and to date only Amex account) and product changed that card to BCE soon after its release in 2011.
I'm starting to pay attention to the rewards game and wanted to top off my SM account while waiting for some better Amex offers to be made public. I went to https://www.deltaamexcard.com and entered my info. It gave me a message of "We’re Sorry. You are currently ineligible for this welcome offer". I imagine this is because of their new anti-churn rule.
Does anyone have recent experience with getting this message and then receiving a bonus through a public offer? I know it's very YMMV, but any thoughts on whether they might grant a new bonus given it's been 13 years since the last and for those years I've otherwise been a profit-generating cardholder?

Nobody can answer for sure, it will cost you $1000 to find out so not a big deal, worst they can do is deny the points

Grabbed one last Delta amex before the cutoff date
Made the spend, informed I won't bet getting the 30K points because I had a SIMILIAR cad in the past 12 months
Been over a year since I cancelled my last delta amex
Could care less about the $1000 spend but I bought a $50 delta gift card which I won't get the credit for and will most likely never use

I'm supremely annoyed. Have 758 FICO and got the 50k + $50 offer. Applied and got "needs review". I'm really, really peeved. Haven't applied for credit in 18 months. Anyone else get this? Advice?
UPDATE: Okay, that was weird. Got an email saying I'm approved less than 1 minute after the "needs review" webpage. Oh well, I'm happy!
Question: I'm out of town this upcoming week. Mail is on hold but that's always iffy. Should I call Amex and have them ship to my work? Just wondering how long it took for you guys to get your card.

I can't remember how many days it too to get my Delta Gold AmEx. It wasn't too long. So glad I got this card again. 50K already posted after meeting minimum spend (1k). Applied and approved before May 1---I heard that was a cutoff date for previous card holders to still qualify.

2 questions:
1) I had a Delta amex business gold card (cancelled 7/16/2013), should I still be able to get the stock promotion for the personal platinum delta card if I applied now? I believe it's 5K mqm's and 35K miles. I'd rather not wait until mid-July, but I could if it would improve my chances.
2) Is there a way to get the site: https://www.deltaamexcard.com/ to show you the platinum card rather than the gold card? I expect the offer is no different than the stock one, but it would be great to check.
I'm just trying to find a better offer for the platinum delta amex than the stock delta.com one (ideally with more mqm's than the standard 5K at signup).

2. For business cards, you can check for targeted offers this way: go to amex home page, click on Small business cards, scroll all the way to the bottom and you will see a section Find if you are eligible for a special offer, or something to that effect.

1. I would wait and play by the rules spelled out on the application.

Historically, I wouldn't have worried, but I know amex has changed signup rules hence my question. Has anyone been able to apply for both business and personal cards since May 1 and had success getting both bonuses?
Also, does anyone think a better platinum offer will come through in the near future? All I see right now is the 35K miles with 5K mqms, but I know there have been better ones in the past.
