Oh, also AMEX will only show up to 100 pending offers at a time, so if you are already at 100 you can try accepting a few randomly just to get under 100, and then see if other new offers get populated (may not happen instantly, so check back a while later)

I had 107 offers yesterday and have had more than 100 at other times.

If you use it on the BUSINESS Platinum AND spend more than 5k on a transaction, then you will get 5000+2500+2500 RDMs and 2500MQM (as the terms indicate this 2500RDM+2500MQM is in addition to all other bonuses)
You will get 50% RDM bonus on a DL Business Plat card with any transaction of 5000 or above = 2500 bonus = max bonus 50,000 miles = 20 such charges or a total 100k charge at one go

After another call with Amex, they confirmed there is no way for them to move the offer from one Delta card to another as the “accounts” themselves are targeted. Not very happy.

Spent my first $1k since enrolling and got a confirmation email: "If your purchase meets the offer terms, you will have successfully redeemed your offer to Earn Bonus Miles + Medallion Qualification Miles. Don't forget: You can continue to Earn Bonus Miles + Medallion Qualification Miles until 12/31/2020."

They haven't actually posted yet, but I wouldn't have expected them to.

Current Targeted Offer for New Delta Amex (Gold) Card

Makes sense because Delta sent me a targeted offer for a new Gold Delta Amex Business card. I cancelled my Delta Plat Amex card in fall 2019 because it no longer made sense to continue to hold it because of benefit downgrades amex imposed then. Amex could not have known in 2019 about COVID-19 coming.

The current targeted offer for the Gold biz card is:

50,000 bonus miles on $2,000 spend within 3 months.
A one-time 50% rebate on all spend up to a max of $200.
$99 annual fee waived for the first year.
Offer expires October 28 (an unusually long time for an offer).

New amex warning about applying for the sole purpose of getting the bonus and cancelling within a year. Claw-backs mentioned.

No language about "no bonus for previous holders of the card." I previously got this same card in 2009. Not sure if the amex "one bonus per lifetime" ends after 10 years, or if amex is waiving it this one time.

The landing page for the offer includes the ability to select any of six Delta amex cards -- Gold, Plat, Reserve, personal or business. All have different welcome offers up to 70,000 miles.

Glad I saw this post. I saw this online (Delta.com?) and thought it was their new welcome offer—not something for current cardholders. This will work out quite well!

I got the offer on my RESERVE and just signed up. I wonder how long the bonuses will take to post.

My guess is shortly after each statement, they'll post the total bonus accumulated on that statement. Just a guess.

When it says “additional cards do not qualify”, I assume that means additional accounts? Or is it referring to authorized users on the same account?

I'm going to be 9,000 MQM shy of diamond after this bonus, and I just don't see myself earning that much from flying the rest of the year. What a bummer. Already met the MQD waiver too.

Has anyone done the math if it is better for the 500 miles/500 MQM miles with the Delta Platinum, vs the AMEX Platinum's offer of spending $1500 and getting 1000 MR points?

I've gotten to the point that I have too many cards and can't keep track of all these offers!

100% unconditional MQM rollover this year, so you'll start next year just 9k MQM short also (but you will have to meet the waiver again)

good question. I took it to mean authorized users.

Rereading the Full Ts&Cs for the offer, it seems clear that the offer applies only to purchases made with the Basic cardmember's card and does not apply to purchases made by Additional cardholders on that same account. Still a good offer, but it is an important limitation to be aware of.
