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.

May I apply for both Gold Personal and Gold Business at the same time and get both sign-up bonus? They should be considered two different products, right?
I think I saw this information somewhere in the thread, but just want to double confirm before I do it. Thanks!

I qualified for Silver via Delta's quicksilver promo for WA residents earlier in the year. Recently, I got a targeted offer for the personal plat card: 60k bonus miles (incl. 15k MQMs) for $1000 spend in 3 months and $100 statement credit for a Delta purchase within the first 3 months. Offer expires 31 OCT. AF is $195 with no charge for AUs.
Seems reasonable. Am I missing something?

The 50k and $50 statement credit offer is also available as a referral. You can find referrals for the business card in the referrals thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...l#post25623095

That 6-8 weeks is probably super-conservative, worst-case scenario sort of thing. My Delta SkyMiles Platinum card was approved in late September. I met the minimum spend for the signup bonus on October 11 (i.e., before my first statement closed), and the signup bonus posted to my SkyMiles account on October 14. (In my case, I'm okay with this since I'll hit Silver easily before year end but have no realistic shot of making Gold, so the MQMs will just roll over.)

Does anyone have any experience triggering the $50 statement credit by booking hotel through delta.com? Or do I have to purchase flight-related ticket/services in order to trigger the credit?
I have no intention to fly with Delta any time soon but wanted to get the $50 credit... what would be the most cost efficient to go about this?
Booking a refundable flight or hotel through delta.com and then refunding it after the $50 statement credit posts - would this work?

gift card has a minimum load of $50 I think which defeats the purpose of the $50 statement credit. I have no intention of flying delta at all so the gift card will be wasted (or at least shelved for the foreseeable future...)
Anyone has any interesting way to trigger the $50 statement credit without actually spending (or if impossible, spend the least) with Delta?

I canx my Gold pers card about a year ago. If I get the biz card, will I get the 50k bonus miles? Are the pers and biz considered separate products and do the bonus offers have any bearing on one another?

The purpose of the $50 statement credit is plainly to get people to use their Delta card on a Delta flight. I don't see how anyone can complain about that.

I have a personal DL Reserve and a business DL Plat. If I cancel them next year and immediately get the business Reserve and personal DL Plat. (never had either product prior), will I be eligible for sign-up bonus MQMs? And, if I max out my 30K MQM on the personal Reserve and business Plat. 20K MQM prior to canceling in mid-2016, will I be able to get 2016 MQMs for spend on the new cards too?
Thanks!

An article at Rene's Points implies that the personal cards are one family and that I'll have to wait twelve months but that business cards may be okay. You all think I can cancel both next year, get the business Reserve and be good to go?
