Gold Personal:
"Earn 30,000 bonus miles after you make $1,000 in purchases on your new Card within your first 3 months and a $50 statement credit after you make a Delta purchase with your new Card within your first 3 months."
https://www.americanexpress.com/us/c...elta-skymiles/

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.

Gold Business:
https://www.americanexpress.com/us/s...c-golddelta-lm
"Earn 30,000 bonus miles after you make $1,000 in purchases on your new Card within your first 3 months and a $50 statement credit after you make a Delta purchase with your new Card within your first 3 months."

Platinum Personal:
https://www304.americanexpress.com/c...skymiles/25330
"Earn 35,000 bonus miles and 5,000 Medallion® Qualification Miles (MQMs) after you spend $1,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months."

Platinum Business:
https://www262.americanexpress.com/d...t-card/dal-624
"Earn 70,000 bonus miles and 10,000 Medallion® Qualification Miles (MQMs) after you spend $5,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months."
__________________________________________________ ____________

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.

Got the Plat about 3-4 weeks ago. Hit the $2k spend limit yesterday - miles and MQMs were in my account this morning.

Now I have to figure out whether to go after DL Silver given the 10k MQMs or keep with UA where I have a fighting chance of Gold

How long do you have to cancel the card before you get AF refunded?? That's so good!


PS - I also got Delta Plat 60k in June, and recently Delta posted 42k + 8k Amex bonus points to my Delta account for 50k... not 60k. I looked and it looks like with a returned product I'm about $99 shy of hitting the $2k. Will the rest post then? Seems weird it posted early and 10k miles short... I'll contact Amex after spending another $100.

50k business offer - when might return?

The 50k business offer was available until about a month ago.
Now the business offer is for just 30k miles.

Question: Does a 50k (or better) business offer usually return about once a year?

I'm getting a 45k bonus/15k MQM, with $1k in spend offer for a Platinum personal. Given I missed the $60k offer (and I'm 23k MQM short of re-qualifying for Platinum)..any thoughts?

I might even make Diamond if I do this and hit a big mileage run.

Take it. I was offered 30k RDM / 15k MQM in 2014 and it was extremely helpful. I haven't seen an offer over 15k MQM, so not sure you will get anything better

My bonus points posted far faster than the 6-8 weeks after I met the MS.

Similarly, I'm wondering if there is (has ever been) a higher offer on the Reserve card? It seems like the answer is no.

I got the personal 8/2015 but I was watching for a biz offer.
So, first. To confirm.... I thought the personal AmEx Gold Delta is once per lifetime. Was it a different card in 2007?
Second, the business would be a separate product, so I can do that when a decent offer comes around, yes?

Thanks!

The $100 statement credit after making the Delta purchase-- does this Delta purchase include on board food and beverages? Or does it have to be a ticket or a higher value purchase than a 7 dollar beer?
