I received the same email for my AMEX DL Reserve Card. When I click on the link, it goes to the below stating it is unavailable . Anyone else?

OK, so if you live in one of the three cities, you would have two destinations for nonstop flights generating the credit while everyone else at a major DL station has three choices and some who live in outstations have zero.
Still the from/to these three airports variation in the targeted(?) offers is interesting. Now I'm wondering whether for example RTs from SEA price differently than RTs to SEA. Of course, this wouldn't be an issue if these cities tend to offer OW based fares with no stay requirements, although it's not real obvious to me whether the fine print means that one must use a RT based fare or just two OWs on the same ticket/PNR to form a RT.

I was curious about trying to explain why most of us got the offer for RTs TO the three airports, while those living nearby got the same offer for RTs FROM those three airports. One potential explanation would have been if for one or more of the cities, there were no DL nonstops to either of the remaining cities. In that case, DL couldn't logically give residents of the three magic cities the same offer as it would be worthless. [Actually, DL could do this, but I'm going to be charitable here.]

Disappointed to be an Amex Plat and not receive this offer. This is the time of year I might have chosen to take an additional trip to BOS or RDU... Already have a SEA trip scheduled, would probably not add another.
It must be targeted on some level. Not showing on my SPG Card, NWA/DL Amex, or Platinum Card either.

My offer is also from SEA/RDU/BOS to any US airport. Pretty good timing since I was getting ready to book a flight out of BOS.
Signed up for offer, booked, and received credit a couple days later.

Question on the Delta Amex Mailers 70k/$4. I didn't see in the tiny print anything about 'previously owned this product' mentioned but then it's so tiny I might have missed it?
I did have the Delta Amex card about 4 maybe 5 years ago.
Any one else getting the mailer and NOT seeing the once in a lifetime language?

How common are targeted offers without once-in-a-lifetime language?

I get them too. They're targeted.

My T&Cs state that "Only the base fare of your flight will qualify for the purchase requirement." Does that mean the cost has to be $200 before taxes/fees/etc or just before any ancillary add-ons?
I found a flight ORD-SEA for $233 total, but only ~$190 in "base fare" and the remaining $44 in gov't taxes and fees. Any experience from people cutting it close on what counts and what doesn't?
