Met spending on May 30th. Stmt showed correct amount of miles earned. Now it's been 7 weeks. No bonus miles or normal spend miles posted. Called rep/supervisor and they told me "miles are awaiting transfer. can take up tp 12 weeks". Does anyone have similar issues recently? I just wanted to know how long this usually takes in this "awaiting transfer" status.

SO....spoke with rep from AMEX today...they had to open a ticket to look into why the miles haven't posted and are attempting to expedite the release of the miles. However, today my regular miles I earned for spending showed up, as did a little "gift" from AMEX...a CR last week offered me 3,000 miles for my patience, and those showed up. Still no bonus miles...I'm beginning to think it may be a while.
Who knows, maybe one day I'll find a way to use those miles, which have essentially cost me nothing. And as of today, not even costing me 'opportunity' costs, since I've got nothing else to apply for right now.
Anyone know if I'm right that there is no "lifetime" language in this offer, and any advice on whether or not to go for it, even if there is no such language in it?

Do note that AmEx terms and conditions often specifically exclude gift card purchases and other types of MS from crediting toward sign-up bonuses. You may get lucky and have them count anyways but it's far fro ma given that it will work.

Just got a apparently "targeted" email offer, since it has my name attached. 40K Delta miles for a no AF the first year, AMEX Delta Gold Card. I've had this card (twice?) before, so I searched the T/C for the once per lifetime language, and didn't see it. I've still got the Delta miles from previous offers, bc they are virtually worthless, but they don't expire, and this offer has no AF the first year. Tempted to apply, since after my Citi AA app next week, I've got nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, in the pipeline. A meager $1K spend will cost me @$14 in MS, and adds another 40K miles to my "worthless" Delta account.

I applied for a Business Delta Reserve Card today but was instantly declined. I have a Bankruptcy from Dec 2009 which I assume was the reason why I was declined.
Should I speak with them about the decision, or try again for a Personal card, or should I wait to try again until after the Bankruptcy clears?

I applied for and was approved for the Delta Gold Amex card with 30k Skymiles bonus last week and saw today that the bonus is now 70k. Any chance of getting the new bonus?

There are also various other credit card-focused message boards on the Internet (not on Flyertalk) where people talk more obsessively about topics like this and you might be able to get a more informed (or at least more obsessive) opinion.

Amex Delta - Business Card?
TPG posted about higher points offers for opening the Amex Delta Plat Biz card. I've previously had, earned bonus, and cancelled the *personal* *gold* Amex delta card (within last 12 months). How does Amex handle eligibility for bonus points when it's a similar but different edition card (Gold vs Plat), and/or if it's personal vs biz?

I received a 70,000 mile bonus offer for delta gold card in the mail, with waived AF the first year and a $50 statement credit. Is this about the best their deals ever get? I don't really need another card, and living in the Bay Area, rely more on southwest and united. but 70k is 70k.
