There's a big thread on this. Read at least its wiki first, before purchasing the gift card(s).

I think around this time last year someone posted a link here for DL gold that had no lifetime clause, several applied but the bonus got delayed. I applied for myself and parents and only the latter got it (delayed of course). What do people recommend? should I contact Amex for the bonus or would they put me on some negative list?

Thank you for the clarification. No harm in asking, but be prepared for the front line customer service staff to invent an explanation which may be plausible, but inaccurate.

I received the Delta Amex gold card offer for 75,000 miles after $3K spend. I've skimmed through the fine print a dozen times because I've had this card before, but I can't find language like "No Bonus if you had this offer before." I couldn't find a wiki on this one, so are there data points I'm missing about if I will get the bonus? Thanks !

Gold or Platinum? The last time I got a targeted offer without the once in a lifetime language, it was fee waived for the Gold, but no fee waived for the Platinum
