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 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.

The 70 K offer was for personal Gold, the best business Gold was probably 50 K. Also the Gold card doesn't have $99 companion certificate anymore. The free companion certificate that comes with Plat card may offset the fees a little bit. Just saved $400+ with a companion certificate. YMMV!

I have a question about double dipping with business and personal cards. I signed up for the *business* Platinum Skymiles Amex in Dec 2012 and received bonus MQMs and miles. I still have that card. If I go to the https://www.deltaamexcard.com/ site and enter my info, it states that I already have a card.
So if I do a *personal* Platinum Skymiles Amex now (need some MQMs), will I get the MQM and miles bonus? I have never had a personal Skymiles Amex but current have a business one linked to my Skymiles account.
Thanks in advance!

Gold and Platinum at the same time?
Can I apply for a Delta Amex Gold and Delta Amex Platinum at the same time on the same day? (both personal)
If not, could I apply for the other one 90 days later?

Is it even possible to apply for Delta Amex Gold if you currently have Delta Amex Platinum?

I'm looking for a delta business 50k mile offer??
Does anyone know of any public business offers for 50K miles. I was able to get the 50k mile personal card but never got an offer for a business yet.

Not targeted as I just signed up for the Delta Amex (Personal) at the end of Sept, I got the 50k mile bonus and already did the spend threshold.
If I apply for a Delta Amex Business card, will I be available for the bonus?

This offer is also not available to applicants who have had this product within the last 12 months or any other Consumer Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card account within the last 90 days.
Is it one year or 90 days?

Is this a good offer? My wife also got the offer, but not sure if she'd get it or not.

50k after $1,000 spend in the first 3 months is pretty good. Usual offer is 30k and $50 statement credit. There was a 70k offer this year that was supposed to be targeted but wasn't, and nobody can predict anything like that will be back or not.

Received targeted Gold Delta personal deal yesterday, 1k spend in 3 months, 50K points and $50 statement credit for Delta purchase. Applied and approved, triggering a small AOR (Alaska Air, Hyatt) for me, and the Alaska card for my wife.
Not surprised to see AMEX push its relation to Delta. A nice transfer bonus deal on top of this would certainly compel me to move MR over and shift my focus to Delta vs. AA, lounge access being a big component of that overall strategy.
I hope I didn't act too soon, as I fear a 100K gold card offer lurking in the wings sometime down the road.
