I got a folded over post card in the mail from Delta Am Ex
here's what it says. "Your Gold Delta Skymiles credit card from American express earned you over 10,000 Skymiles in the last year. And now, because we want you to get even closer to your next destination, we're offering 1,500 bonus miles just for renewing your Cardmembership. To get your membership bonus, simply enroll online at americanexpress.com/renewmydelta51 by June 30, 2006"
So?
So?

Well if you want to renew your card and you'd like to have the 1,500 miles, I guess you should do it! I don't really understand your question.
When it was time for me to renew my Gold Amex last month, my offer was 50% off the renewal fee which I had to go online to do.

Quick experimentation gives this link:
www.americanexpress.com/renewmydelta53 for 5K miles
51-57 appear to work although 55-57 appear to be identical to 51-53

If you want to renew, renew. If not, don't. In the context of other offers out there right now, this one shouldn't steer your decision -- it doesn't even move the needle.
See the several threads that address the cc:miles issues extensively - and answer many more questions than you have - on at least the AA, UA and US boards. You can do far, far better.
