Too late AMEX/Delta!! I just charged $15k on my CSR of flights = 45k points = $675 in travel rewards. 15k delta miles = nothing.
PS AMEX/Delta, I'll hit DM anyways gaming your system!

If you did it on an AmEx Plat card, it would be 75K MR pts, which translate to 75K DL miles, or other potentially more valuable FF "currencies" also. Not sure why would anyone charge DL flights to a DL AmEx. That's really poor value and returns.

Used to use the OPEN discounts also before Amex turned that program into a dodo bird.

Nope
I hold both a personal Reserve and Platinum.. I got the offer for the Platinum (which I was planning to dump due top changes in life) but not the Reserve yet. I would love to get it for the Reserve. Nothing yet though.

Has anyone got this yet?
I crossed the 90K spend and my statement closes next week. A quick good search takes me to AMEX website that states "You're automatically registered for this 2018 bonus". It seems to NOT be targeted and open to everyone. Any confirmation of posting?

Don't forget trip insurance, too! Even my Amex Plat ($15k = 75k MR = $750 for paying w/ points, or better as award flights) can't offer that.

I need another $12,500 to reach $90K in spending and sure don't want to put it on a skypeso card unless I get the 15K MQMs and called Am Ex and they were clueless and she opened up a case and will get back with me.
I never received anything from Am Ex about it and on my last statement it didn't have a progress statement stating I had xx in spend and need another XX in spend for my next boost like it did with the $30K and $60K spend.
Hopefully I'm eligible but I'm not going to risk it if I'm not.

Sorry to keep bringing this up, but with all the speculation, opinions, and 100+ posts, no one has actually hit this spend and commented on whether this is working and posting?
1. Who has hit the spend and NOT had them additional miles post?
2. Who has hit the spend and they DID post properly automatically?
3. Who has his the spend and had to call to inquire? and what was the response?

I am pretty sure this is a targeted offer, and not everyone can enroll in this. I have hit 140,000 spend on one of my reserve cards, and I only received the standard two bonuses, even though when I click on the link it says I am automatically enrolled. It says I am automatically enrolled even when I am not logged on.
