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.

Note: Review the recent discussion in the thread about various other ways to try to locate offers as high as 50k+$50 credit.

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 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.

How did you use the $50 credit? I am wondering if we can buy a gift card for that denomination and it will be repaid to us. Mine is gold delta amex. Thanks.

I haven't applied, only that the 50K +$50 offer shows up for me when going to deltaamexcard.com website. If using my wife's FF number she only gets the 35K +$50 offer. Coincidentally she has 0 miles in her account.

There was a good offer for AMEX Biz Platinum recently (I believe in July) - 50 K RDM, 20 K MQM, annual fees not waived for first year. I think that was one of the best business offer I have seen.

Hmm but with $150 AF no thanks. I've seen 1st year no AF Skymiles Gold go for 45k to 70k miles.

Fee Waiver

Is the $150 membership fee waived for the 30,000 miles + 15,000 miles + $100 statement credit offer?
