I am currently battling with AMEX over 60K targeted offer that came in the mail and miles didn't get posted. I got some "supervisor" kid today and he wend off on telling me that offer isn't solicited by Amex but rather Delta, amex has no knowledge of my relationship with them. He was freestyling until I told him to stop BSing me and open up another ticket.
Which department should I call up? The main number is a waste of time between clueless offshore people and so called mainland "supervisors".

Whether the advertisement came from Amex or Delta, it shouldn't matter if there's no lifetime language in the terms. It's also poor form for Amex to allow such mailers to go to people who are ineligible for the offer.

For Amex, it was opening the DL Platinum for 45K/15K MQM/$1K spend and then getting the recent 70K offer in the mail a month later. In that case, I didn't care a ton because I probably couldn't swing the $3K min spend of that offer at the time, but it is poor form none the less.

I periodically get flyers in the mail for the DL AmEx card with 60k miles offered. I had the card a long time ago - originally more than 10+ years ago. Anyone with experience on how far back they track? Currently have no other AmEx cards (gave up SPG personal and business within the last couple of years).

I applied for the Delta Skymiles Platinum Personal (public offer, never had the Skymiles Platinum before) and received 70,000 miles after hitting $3,000 spend. However, it's been a few days since I purchased a $100 Delta eGC (from the desktop browser) but have not had the $100 credit post. Is that normal? Was a $100 eGC purchase unwise, and should I try again at the $50 level?
If anyone's been in a similar situation, would appreciate a data point!

In my case, I paid the taxes and fees on an 11,500 SM award ticket ($5.60) on the night of the 29th, the transaction posted on the 1st, the credit posted on the 3rd. That was a ticket purchase though which obviously has the built in delay between purchase and officially posting to fulfill the 24 hour cancellation period. Not sure if gift cards follow the same schedule, but I'd give it 2-3 days after it officially goes to posted. If it doesn't show after that, just contact Amex, you shouldn't need to repurchase another GC as that's a qualifying purchase for the credit.

I have received a couple emails targeting me for the 60k signup bonus for $1000 spend and the fee waiver for the 1st year. However, I've already had the same card (Delta Gold) and received a bonus from it a couple years ago. I read through the terms and conditions, but it does not state anything about already receiving the bonus for the same card. Has Amex changed their one bonus per lifetime rule? Are there any data points on someone receiving this targeted bonus and sucessfully getting the miles?

Can anyone who had Delta Gold before and got gold60K targeted offer in the mail (which didn't have "lifetime bonus" condition) that bonus miles poster to their accounts?
Its all over blogs but I can't get amex to honor it.

Delta Sky Miles Bonus not Honored
I'm wondering if I'm getting played here by AMEX, or what?
I signed up for the AMEX Delta Platinum last October with the $3,000/70,000 miles bonus plus $100 statement credit if I spend money on a Delta purchase within that same time period.
Here it is, 5/13/18 - there hasn't been a single bonus mile credited to my account, nor has any of my statement credits (two $50 gift cards) been credited to my account.
At first the reps told me to wait the entire three months "because the miles would post then." And then when that didn't happen, they "started an investigation" which is supposed to take 6-8 week... Well that was about three months ago and the investigation is "still open."
Anyone else have these issues?

I have moved your question into the thread where scrolling back will find similar problems. See also:

1. Have you ever before held the same card?
2. How did you receive the offer, by USPS, email or "found" on the Internet?
