Need Some Info on Likely Delta Gold Application
1. I currently possess the personal gold card; it is one of my two longest-held. Delta miles have substantial value to me as I’ve netted most of my miles on this airline. However, being able to take advantage of the various ~30,000 mile offers (that change every now and then) appeals to me as I have recently found the value in credit card bonuses. This being the case, while I would like to acquire a minimum spend bonus deal with this card I recognize the that I cannot do so as long as I possess the card. I know that I have the option to downgrade or to upgrade (or, should I cancel altogether first?).
Therefore my questions are: o 1) Which way should I go? o 2) what are the upsides/downsides of both? And o 3) is there a waiting period following either action? 2. Can someone confirm whether this 45,000 offer still is active? If so, might I be able to apply it to my scenario somehow? |
For the record, when I did the 45,000 linky it said i already had the card, but it didn't say the offer was no longer available.

You can call amex and ask to to re-consolidate your cards, meaning, put the entire credit line from your amex delta gold onto another amex card, thereby not losing your line of credit or history as its still there, and then apply for a new amex delta gold

Oh...right. How did I not think of that!? :confused: Thanks!!! :D

If you do that, though, you need to wait a year until you can get a new delta gold card. However, you only need to wait 91days if you want to apply for the platinum delta and get the bonus.

Outside of the fact that the annual fee is increased to accommodate the $99 companion seat credit thingy, what other differences are there that make platinum a better card?

Yeah, this isn't my spend card either. How about this: Before end of this month, apply for the no annual fee 50,000 Hilton card. If I must, transfer most of credit line. Then after waiting period, convert for platinum.
Thoughts? (Also, when would the first annual fee for the plat card occur?). |
