So, odd question. I already have a work issued Amex Platinum. It's in my name, but its sponsored by my firm (I cant put any personal spend on it, for example). (well, the firm issues regular green cards, and I upgrade to get the lounge access).
Am I still eligible for the Delta Amex Platinum personal card and associated redemption?
TIA

So the DL Amex Gold has a pretty good offer right now. I have had an DL Amex Card since 2009. Jul 2009 opened the Gold Amex. Changed to options card in Jul 2010, been regular Options card since then.
Is there any way to upgrade the card to Gold in order to get the current offer (70K for 3K spend, $50 statement credit for first year)? Or do I have to close my account down and then open a new one?

No flights coming up for me in the next couple of months so may just purchase a $50 e-gift card.

No, the offer is for new accounts, not for upgrades.
Closing the Options card account is irrelevant. However, the fact that you previously held a Skymiles Gold card means that you are not eligible for a bonus on the same card. In practice, American Express only look back about 7 years. If you had closed the Gold account in 2010 you might be eligible again soon, but because you downgraded this may mean that the system will still see that you previously held a Gold card. I would ask customer service if you have "ever" had a Skymiles Gold card to test.

Called Amex to see what I am eligible for:
Upgrade to plat only, full annual fee (not statement credit) and 25K bonus for $2000 spend. Going to pass. Agent did ask me what I wanted and said she would make a note in my account for the marketing department to review. Let's see if they are interested in what I am interested in.

Only if you are in regular economy. When I was trying to get the credit, all my flights kept upgrading to preferred or First and the FAs wouldn't sell me anything since the beers were free in my section. They don't seem to understand the need to make a credit card purchase.

Delta Skymiles credit card - now or after July 5th?
I've changed home airports and am now primarily flying Delta, and plan to get their Gold credit card. All of the current Delta Skymiles credit card bonus offers I'm seeing expire on July 5th. I would expect there are new offers coming after that date. Does anyone have information about that? I'm trying to decide if it's better to grab one now, or wait.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

I personally find the Platinum DL AMEX worth it more than the Gold unless you're planning on opening the Gold and closing it before the annual fee hits.
The Platinum has a higher sign up bonus and the $195 gets you a free round trip companion ticket (along with the free checked bags that comes with the Gold card)
