Gold Personal:
"Earn 60,000 bonus miles after you make $2,000 in purchases on your new Card within your first 3 months and $1000 more w/in 6 months and a $50 statement credit after you make a Delta purchase with your new Card within your first 3 months."
https://www.americanexpress.com/us/c...elta-skymiles/

A post on Reddit suggests that you can find a 50K offer, but with a $100 credit, by doing a dummy booking on Delta.com.
The offer should appear before you have to pay for the flight. [Did [b]not work when I booked a flt today, 3/15/17.]

Gold Business:
https://www.americanexpress.com/us/c...13-GAFH:0001#/

Note: Review the recent discussion in the thread about various other ways to try to locate offers as high as 50k+$50 credit.

Getting the statement credit:
MrMoonlight successfully purchased a Delta ecert (essentially a gift card) and received the statement credit. See this post..
Jacobsta811 also received $50 credit for $50 e-cert on both gold business and gold personal cards.
muji received $100 credit for $50 eCert on Delta Platinum card
sdsearch received $100 credit for $50 eCert on business Platinum card (see this post).
vah4883 received $100 credit for $5.6 tax on Platinum card
philemer received $100 credit for buying a box lunch on board

Yes. My AMEX Jan. statement posted to Delta and number on card is correct. Just talked to Delta (only 50 minute hold time) and they said miles usually won't post over weekend but to check back today around 5/6 pm as they should of posted by then. The Delta rep said miles get posted throughout the day at Delta. I would think with a Feb 7th closing date falling on a Wednesday, the miles should of posted by last Friday but with AMEX you never know. I will post back by tomorrow.

No miles reported to Delta account overnight. Going to reach out to AMEX via twitter first.

Update: Going to remain patient and give it a couple more weeks as I read on reddit someone waiting 3 weeks before miles hit Delta.

Another datapoint for me the $50 delta statement credit hasn't posted for several days (usually such credits post in 2-3 days).

Had used the offer code POID: G9HZ:0001, from the public link posted upthread (and same public link posted on reddit for a day or two). I've had the gold delta card before, but this link didn't have the lifetime language. I'm sure amex will claim otherwise once I dispute this after 8-12 weeks. I had to use the public link posted because wasn't directly targeted through flyer/email etc.

I saved the Terms for POID: G9HZ:0001: To qualify for the 50,000 bonus miles, you must make purchases with your Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card that total $2,000 or more within your first 3 months of Card Membership starting from the date your account is approved. If you qualify for the first 50,000 bonus miles, you can earn an additional 25,000 bonus miles (for a total of 75,000 bonus miles), after you use your Card to make an additional $1,000 in purchases (for a total of $3,000 in purchases) by the end of your first 6 months of Card Membership, starting from the date your account is approved. Miles will be credited to your account 6-8 weeks after you meet each spend requirement (March 12th for me).

What is so puzzling to me is the bonus miles are actually being show earned on my Feb. statement just not sent to Delta. I might just wait 6 weeks and dispute via CFPB. Will update when I have new info.

be patient, my statement closed on feb 7th as well, i only had 650 miles earned, it didn't show up in my account yet, so i am guessing it can take few weeks.

Thanks for the DP. Please let me know if your regular spend posts to Delta and I will do the same. Think patience is probably the right move at this point. Already met $2k in spend, so I will work on meeting MRS for CIP and Marriott Biz in the meantime. Last $1k threshold I have until late May and would be easy to meet in a short amount of time if needed.....

have you had the Gold Amex before?

I called Amex to verify and they said I will get the miles.

She noted that I had had the Gold Amex before.

I did get the mailer.

**OK data point. I met $3k in spend 3 weeks prior to my Feb Delta Amex Statement being cut. Feb Statement was cut on 2/15. As per Statement, I DID earn the 75000 bonus miles! Miles not yet transferred to Delta. Hoping soon. I did not receive an invite for the offer but used the link posted above.

My statement shows just the miles from the 2K spend, and even that has not posted to DL yet. Sigh

Yes, had AMEX Delta gold in 2012 & cancelled in 2013. Still no regular spend or bonus miles posted to Delta.

Although, my Delta MQD credit card spend waiver tracker shows it added my Feb. statement regular spend to Jan.' statement spend and now shows between $2k-3k of credit card spend. It states I only need $22k-23k of credit card spend to meet the waiver. As of last Thursday, the MQD credit card spend tracker only showed $1-2k.

Just another data point ... I signed up for the 70K Delta Business Platinum offer last September and handily exceeded the minimum spend in my first statement (without any MS or other shenanigans). Have also continued to use the card steadily since then. Neither bonus miles nor $100 statement credit ever showed up.

Based on some reports of success in another FT thread, I submitted a CSFB complaint about a week and a half ago and finally heard back. Letter says, more or less, "we are investigating an issue on your account and will let you know."

Very annoying -- I've never had issues like this with Amex before. Sounds like whatever issues Amex was having with its systems losing track of sign-up bonuses earlier last year may still be in effect.
