I recently got the Delta Platinum Card personal card - I do NOT plan on flying Delta in the next few months. Can you PLEASE tell me what the CHEAPEST QUALIFYING Delta Purchase I can make without stepping on a plane to purchase a drink or snack. Thank you

I don't know of anything else cheaper that's reliable if you aren't going to be on a Delta plane (or in a Delta lounge at an airport).
And it's very "cheap" in that it's a discount of the same amount on the next Delta flight you take, so it's essentially $0 cost, just "advance spending" on your next Delta flight so to speak (without having to know the destination or the travel dates). These e-gift cards don't expire, so as long as you'll fly Delta someday (and won't lose your email with the e-gift card info before that), it's just "money in the bank" so to speak.
(While some of the "very low cost" things that people buy on the plane they might not have really needed, so in those cases it might be "throwaway" cost, even if low.)

Is it possible to get the the personal and business platinum the same day? Offer expires today and I completely forgot to apply before!!
Or shall I do one and use someones referral for the other since the referral is still 70k, extended till 7/26. If so, are there referrals for both personal and business?

Hi was wondering if anyone here can answer this:
I couldn't find anything related to this: if I use deltas website to book a hotel would that purchase code as a delta purchase (thus trigger the delta statement credit) or would it show up as a hotels.com purchase (on the site it says the search engine is powered by hotels.com)?
Thanks!

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?

I got an offer for the Gold Amex from Delta with 60k miles for $1000 spend and $50 for my first Delta purchase. Think I'll jump on it since it sounds like 60k miles is about as good as it gets on that card. Quick question, can I meet both requirements at once by booking a flight at over $1000? It seems like it would, but sometimes Amex can be weird about only crediting a purchase to only one category. When I got my BCP a few years ago, a lot of my initial $1500 spend was for groceries and they didn't give me 6% cash back credit for those.
