Discrimination against those Reserve card holders who never received this email; either send it to everyone, or don't have the promotion at all! Absolutely outrageous that AmEx's marketing dept can get away with this!

Yeah! And against those who don't even have Amex cards! Or Delta accounts! We're all automatically registered, so what gives?
(I can only assume they're giving everyone who clicks the link a Delta Reserve Amex, right?)

Although I agree with what you said I don’t see this as the issue. I posted the link. The issue is that whether the page was hidden or not, every targeted offer I’ve ever seen, says that it’s targeted in the fine print. This lacks that language and therefore it is not a targeted offer unless it says so.
I don't need the MQM's to keep status but the rollover would have been nice as well as the MQM's towards 2MM status.

Because charging a special price or giving benefits to a group of people (ex. Senior Breakfast) needs to be clearly delineated when you advertise to the masses. You cannot advertise a travel package for a price, and then when I go to purchase the package, the seller says "Oh sorry that was for students only. But we didn't need to tell you that. Your price is +25%".

It's way to early to know as there are still over 3 1/2 months left in 2018, so there are undoubtedly plenty of people who haven't reached the $90K spend yet!

At best, shaky ground in a fuzzy area to make a case out of it.

You can consider it whatever you want I guess but the fact is you only found it because people who were targeted leaked it. You didn't just wake up one day and decide to type "amex delta secret 3rd MQM boost" into Google completely out of the blue.
