Also wondering about this offer. Never dabbled with Delta miles before but I'm interested in transferring them. So:
What if my wife and I each scored one of these platinum cards, each got the 70,000 miles, and then transferred them to our Amex Membership Rewards programs?
We'd be out of pocket the annual fees ($192 x 2 = $390), but since Delta can transfer to Amex points 1:1, than we'd gain 140,000 total Amex points, which can be worth a helluva lot in my experience. Or is it better to leave them as Delta miles? Any other innovative way to use this signup bonus? Thanks.

There is also a special referral related to these offers where the referrer gets extra miles (10k in the case of the Platinum, maybe the same for the Gold but not sure). But I sent a referral out and on that email the expiration date for the offer is listed as February 1, 2017. Quite a bit of extra time for the offer compared to November as listed here, and with the added benefit of being able to apply next year if the MQM would fit better there.

Can you refer oneself?
(IE: Biz/personal)?

My bonus points hit immediately after the last qualifying purchase posted. I didn't even have to wait for the statement to close for that month.
