Just tried to signup for a DL Biz Plat, and I got their friendly message: ...
The thing thats a little surprising is I've only ever had two Amex cards in my life -- a Biz Plat (still active with spend; 5+ year history) and a personal DL Gold (cancelled after 2 years). Is this message that common? Can't figure out what I've done that would peeve them off that much.

True, but cancelling one card, after two years, doesn't seem as if it would be a problem, statistically. There must be something else.

Apologies if this is not the correct forum for my question. My husband and I both applied for the Plat Delta Amex cards for the 2k spend and 80k bonus miles. My husband's card came in last week and online and swipe card transactions go though with no issue, but anytime he has to use the chip function for a transaction the card declines, in which he has had to pull out another credit card to pay and those had no issue going though (which means it is 100% the card not the machine). My card came in yesterday and is doing the same exact thing. We have both called in to Amex and have been told by different agents that this has not been reported as an issue from any other card holders but we would need to wait for 10 days for the accounts to be open and then call back to see about getting a replacement card in for each account. Really on a time crunch to get the min spend on both of these cards to book mileage travel soon so this is not ideal, but I suppose there is nothing else I can do at this point but wait. Has anyone else had this issue before with this card? The agents we both spoke to (on different occasions) made it seem like this was something that never happens with a new card. If it is so rare what are the chances that it has happened to both of our cards (different accounts)?

$50 Statement Credit for new card
I apologize as I'm sure this question has been asked and answered already but all of my searches ended up in the regular statement credit threads. I was just approved for the Amex Business Delta Gold card from the targeted (?) offer that gives 70k miles and a $50 statement credit after your first Delta purchase. I have no immediate plans to fly Delta within the next 90 days. Any tips on how to best benefit from this credit? I doubt purchasing a $50 Delta gift card would trigger it?

Buying a giftcard should trigger the credit. Click HERE to scroll back to a discussion in October. (Scroll to post 831 if the link does not work.)
However, make sure you buy the gift card from Delta Airlines, and not from CashStar. Do not make the purchase from a phone or tablet, those transactions are routed to CashStar.

Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this or previous versions of this Card. We may also consider the number of American Express Cards you have opened and closed as well as other factors in making a decision on your welcome offer eligibility.

I opened the Delta Gold card back in December before all the changes were made on a targeted offer of 70,000 bonus miles for $3k spending in 3 months. I've only spent about $1600 but the bonus has already posted to my delta account. Is this a bug or is it legit? I want to open the reserve/platinum for their welcome bonuses too but want to make sure I got the gold first. I'm thinking maybe the welcome offer changed to the current one after the card was revamped, but not sure... Thanks!
