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.]

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

Not until age 21.

Include all income available to you. If under 21 include only your own income.

Any updates with anyone that had their miles post in February on the statement and not on delta website; my March statement closed on the 9th and i still didn't get any of the miles posted in February or March.

Mine has not posted either. AMEX's RAT (Rewards Abuse Team) is most likely investigating. File a CBFB weeks after the date you met the minimum spend threshold. AMEX Delta T&C specific miles will post 6-8 weeks after the spend is met.

I am in the same boat and I called them last week. They say the account has been under review, and the mile will not post until the review is over. It will take 6-8 weeks, so basically by 4/30 I will file complain with FBCD if there is no result by then. I did have this card back in 2014, and I sign up with the leak link. The mile show up on the statement, but it never post on my delta account. Will see how this turn out!

Yes I will file the complain if I do not see it by 4/30, hopeful they will give the mile back to us

Note that the 8 weeks is calculated from the date of the the statement on which the qualifying spend was billed, not the date of the transaction.

Are people normally successful in getting miles from leaked links?

Straight from my T&C from Delta Gold: "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."

You could be right, however, I interpret the bolding part as 6-8 weeks from the date of meeting the spend requirement. I have had too many to count AMEX cards, and this is the first time I have waited more than a week for my points to post besides a AMEX MR card.....

I have waited over 6 month on a gold card i got 2 years ago, i filed a complaint after 3 months and still took 3 more months to get the points, other cards points posted in few days, so no one knows how they act.

Mine posted fairly quickly.

I charged earlier this month and got the 75k miles in my DL account.

I haven't even gotten the Amex statement yet.

I had a targeted offer, came in the mail a couple of times.

no same boat here, 75k bonus miles plus spend miles in Feb not credited yet. March statement to cut within a week.
If they deny the bonus, I'll cut up that card and canx it faster than a cat on a hot tin roof.

Was just making a dummy booking for next year to see how fares are for flights NYC to YUL and this popped up after I selected my flights. In the wiki, the highest $ amount seems to be $100...so this is higher by $50.

Referring to the leaked link 75K Gold card offer.....

Is the fact that the $50 statement credit posted a good sign that the bonus miles will also post? And I still don't see how they can withhold miles earned on spend??
