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.

See, I am not a DL flyer. This year I'll become DM silver because of the 6 AM and 2 SU flights I flew. I had no idea about DL redemption rates. Now I know why I call it SkyPesos. I'll mostly pass on the offer.

We had a bunch of domestic trips planned this year for visiting family, so the signup bonus was enough for each of us to have two RT tickets. Not bad considering there was no AF the first year for both cards.
I would say if you don't take the offer now, it will probably come back again in the spring.

"Delta purchase" in 1st 90-days which qualifies for $100 stmt credit on AMEX Plat
Good evening -- This is regarding an acceptable "Delta purchase" in the 1st 90-days that will qualify for a $100 statement credit on the DL Amex Plat. We need to buy DL tix but for travel in 2018 so the dates are not in the system yet and if we wait, it will be beyond the 90-day period to make the transaction.
I tried to search the Wiki and a few posts but all I could find was something about "e-certs". Interestingly, we will be flying DL metal soon so how about an on-board food/beverage purchase? Or something else minor? Obviously the purchase would only be a few $$, so what are some hassle-free purchases which will qualify?
Thanks

Does the annual fee count towards your first X month spending goal?
How about a $50/100 credit for making a Delta purchase? Does that take $50/100 off your spend?

which suggests that.
People who fly Delta (in coach) don't tend to post in this thread about what worked. The only people who post in here about what worked for the credit is people who were trying to find some way to get the credit with no Delta flights planned (or only business/first class Delta flights already booked, on which there's nothing to buy*).
Since the credit posts within days (typically as soon as the purchase goes from pending to posted), why don't you just try it on that upcoming flight and see if it works?
There's nothing in the T&Cs that says there is any minimum amount of purchase needed for the credit.
* Keep in mind that there's food/etc for purchase only in coach. If you're sitting in business/first, everything is free, so it may be hard to use your card up there.

And... just realized that the 1st DL flight is TATL so little chance of "buying" Food or Bev on it except overpriced Duty Free.
So we'll have to wait a few months for our next Domestic segment which should still be within the 90-day window.

Just quick data point, the $50 eCert did trigger the $100 statement credit so thank you everyone
With the AS and DL divorce I am glad we jumped on this offer when we did since we are going to have to switch primarily to DL now
