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.

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?
* if you cancel a business card you eligible to get the bonus for the same card after 12 months,
*You are only entitled to the bonus once in a lifetime for any personal amex product.

Here's my case in a nutshell: Let's say I max out my Amex DL Platinum Business for 20K MQM by June '16 (i.e., $50K spend). I then cancel that card and immediately open a new Amex Reserve Business. Can I get 30K MQMs in 2016 with an additional $60K spend, and will I get the sign-up bonus?

SkyMiles Gold, Platinum and Reserve are different products. Holding one should not disqualify a bonus for the others, unless the terms of the offer explicitly state. (American Express briefly used a "family of cards" disqualification policy, but that ended a couple of years ago.)
You may find this thread helpful:

...but the BEST place to research this is in the Skymiles forum where there are many people with the same objectives.

Here's the email link I got for the same offer but only 1K spend. It's a shame I got it minutes after I applied for the 2K spend and booked my flights

1 hour later and I still haven't received the link via email. Does anyone know if the AmEx website is having problems processing applications?

I don't know about applications, but I noticed the website was slower than usual, and the rewards section of the main accounts page kept showing as "unavailable."

I tried multiple times to apply from this link. Each time it took all my info, but when I pressed the final Submit button, nothing happened. I finally pressed the save application button and it said a link would be sent to my email to reopen and submit the app later.

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. I called American Express but received a message that they are unusually busy and to call back in 24 hours. I didn't bother to try and wait it out.
I responded to a targeted offer (15K MQM, 60K RDM, $100 Statement Credit) back in October. There was an issue with my application (item on credit report) and I had to send in documentation after it was removed. Yesterday I received an email that my application was approved but it's weeks past the expiration of the original targeted offer.
My assumption is that since I applied during the offer timeline, I'll still receive the promotional benefits. Correct assumption?
NVM on my question. I called this morning and the offer was applied to my new account. It's my first AMEX and I'm looking forward to using it.

Sorry for a minor threadjack, but does anyone know if the Delta e-certs are eligible for getting the $50 bonus credit on a Delta Amex? (I have a Delta Amex Gold card that includes $50 back from Delta after making a Delta purchase within the first 3 months, but I haven't had any trips on Delta.) Thanks.

60K email offer for Delta Gold Amex
Received an email offer this morning for the Delta Gold Personal Amex:
60K miles when you spend $1000 in three months plus $50 statement credit with Delta purchase in three months.
Thought it was worth a mention since this is the highest I've seen from this card in awhile.
