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.

It seems like a targeted offer with a unique code in the link.

I just got the gold 50K + $50 offer. Can I seek FT'ers advice?
- I will definitely sign up for a personal card this week, but don't feel like paying the annual fee to renew.
- This means I will have to go September 2014 - October 2015 w/o a personal gold card.
- I plan to do a big fun trip w/ my husband in May/June or September/October of 2015. Since we might be cobbling itineraries together, it might be nice to have the free luggage of a Gold Business card at that time. If that's still a perk by then.
- On the other hand, I'll be booking big travel w/ my husband as early as May/June of 2014 (when bookings open up) and it might be nice to have $50 extra in my wallet & 50K extra miles in my account. If said 50K miles haven't devalued by then.
What do you think?
- Should I apply for both personal & business cards now and go "bare," luggage-wise, from September 2014 till October 2015 for a year?
- Or should I wait until September/October/November 2014 to apply for a business card (with whatever the signup bonus is then)?

My Special Offer
I've been looking for "my special offer " for weeks, using the Delta Amex offer page. I keep getting " Sorry our records indicate you already have a Delta Card".
I had a Plat Delta Amex , but closed it six months ago.
I wonder if that would indicate I won't get the 45,000 mile bonus, If I use the CreditCards dot com offer?

I have another question: I won't be flying Delta within the next 3 months and have no plans to buy any tickets from them soon. So I'm limited to "Delta purchases" I can do from the comforts of home that don't involve booking flights. I have 3 months to make a "Delta purchase" for my statement credit.
Is there anything cheaper than a $50 gift card purchase that doesn't put me more than $10 out of pocket?
I would definitely use a Delta gift card within the next 10 years (I'm hub-captive and purchase Delta flights 1-3x/year), but I'd rather not lock up my whole $50 statement credit in a $50 gift card I won't see the value of for months and months.
Any other ideas?
