I had two people use my referral for the 70,000 Platinum bonus on the 27th. I had to close my Platinum account on the 28th as it was the last day to cancel without having to pay the fee again.
My 20,000 referral miles have not yet posted. Any chance I'll get them or am I out of luck?

Hi guys, is there some delay recently for sign-up bonus posting on Amex Delta cards? Normally Amex posts bonus 2-3 days after meeting spending requirements. For my Gold biz account it's been 5 days but still no bonus. I already received 50 stmt credit.

I have an odd situation with my Business platinum Delta card, seems part of the bonus posted early. Maybe they are having issues.

I'm just wondering how you did all "normal" spend in just 2 weeks. (Most people don't seem to meet that spend requirement that quickly.)

3-4 weeks ago chatted with a rep (online chat) and she said they'd open a ticket and get back with me in about a month. Chatted again today, and they said no update, and there was a big issue recently with new cards not getting bonuses so they my account to that list.
What can we do if we met the T&Cs and they don't give us our miles? T&Cs say I should get my 60K miles within 6-8 weeks. It's been over 12.

1. The clock does not start running on the date that you made the individual transaction which crosses the spend threshold. It starts when that transaction appears on a statement. When was that statement issued?
2. The individual transaction which crossed the spend threshold has special significance in American Express's system. Was there any credit or refund issued in connection with that transaction?
3. Did you buy any giftcards (or similar) to meet the spend threshold?

I was going through the book a flight process on the Delta website and after I select the return portion of the flight, I see a the following special offer:
But I don't see anywhere to click to apply for the card. I thought that maybe the offer requires booking the flight and applying for the card at the same time, but when I go through to the payment screen, I just see a normal section to put in an existing credit card. I don't see anywhere to apply for the skymiles amex.
Anyone know how I can get the $150 Statement Credit and 25,000 Bonus Miles special offer? If I go through the Delta homepage and go here :
https://www.delta.com/content/www/en...dit-cards.html
it is only offering $50 credit and 30K miles.
Code:

- 25,000 bonus miles after you make $1,000 in purchases on your new Card within your first 3 months.

However, you may also want to try going straight to https://www.americanexpress.com/us/c...elta-skymiles/ inside an Incognito window in your browser. I'm currently able to pull an offer for 50,000 SkyMiles after $1,000 purchases within 3 months, plus a $150 statement credit after any Delta purchase within 3 months, plus first year annual fee waived.
