Delta Gold Amex Card
I apologize if this should be in the credit card forum rather than here. About a decade ago, I had a Delta Amex card, for which I got a mileage bonus. Since then, I have not. A couple of days ago I applied for the Delta Gold Amex. It waives annual fee for first year and provides 60,000 bonus miles. The ad says if you have had one in the past, you are not eligible. The card was instantly approved, but I am wondering whether maybe I will not get the mileage bonus (in which case I endured a hard pull for nothing). Or do they not look back more than a year or two? (I know some other airline cards say the bonuses are for first time holders only, but they don't look back more than a year or two).
