No credits, and I am well over the spend requirement by 20% or so. The Amex phone rep confirmed the spend was met back in March.

Thank you! In my wife's case the statements have posted for both the Gold and Platinum cards. Both statement show the signup bonus and the points for the actual spend. However, neither have posted to her Delta account. I will wait for 90 days, then call, then file a CFPB complaint. She has had these problems before and this order of events took care of it.

The points did post on their own. In summary: my wife applied for the Delta Gold Personal and Delta Plat Business cards on 3/4 and 3/11 and used two single federal tax payments to satisfy each spend requirement. The points posted around 5/9 and 5/16 without any actions required on my side.

I received a mailer yesterday for a delta personal gold card for 60K miles for $2000 spend. I can't find the lifetime language anywhere...it only mentions abusing, misuse, or gaming in conjunction with this offer and says only the person solicited for the offer is eligible. Any chance this will get around the lifetime restriction?

The website also warns you now if you're about to apply for a card where you don't meet the lifetime or gaming restrictions, so if you apply online with the targeted offer and don't get a pop-up you're most likely good.

It's very possible. Amex has been known to send targeted offers which waive the lifetime restriction. I got one for the relaunched Gold card last year and did receive the bonus despite not meeting the lifetime restriction on the standard public offer.

In the last 18 months i got targeted 6 times for different products that didn't have the "once in a lifetime" language and received the bonus on each one of them, make sure to read the terms on the mailer and on the application page, copy the terms of the offer into your computer for future reference, the terms should have the offer code at the top.

I received an offer in the mail for the 60k miles/2k spend. My SkyMiles number was printed on it (and no 'once in a lifetime bonus' language included).
I applied for the card online and got approved.
Can I assume that I will receive my welcome bonus, given that I did not get a pop up informing me that I'm ineligible for the welcome bonus?
It would be very misleading and unethical of Amex to not grant the miles. It was, after all, a targeted offer with my Delta SkyMiles number linked to it.

Targeted offers without the previous cardholder restriction are common. Scroll back just a few posts in this thread, and also see here:
How common are targeted offers without once-in-a-lifetime language?

Bus Gold Delta - using before getting it?
Hey
I am thinking about applying for the card in the next couple of days. I have a flight on Tuesday with Delta so I won't get the card in time but will I still be able to get the free bag benefit?
Also, does the business delta gold show on my personal report? does it count toward 5/24 Chase?
Thanks!

If you apply, make sure to get the best available offer. There are about four different offers out there right now for this card, ranging from 30,000 miles to 70,000 miles.

Possibly. The card needs to be synced with your Delta account, which should happen within 48 hours but isn't a certainty.
No (unless you miss a payment or something) and no.
