Gold Card and Free 52K Miles, deal?
 

Greetings everyone. I received an offer from Delta in the mail to get a Gold Skymiles American Express card and have no idea what/how skymiles operate. So I am doing some research and saw this great forum.

I have been considering getting a miles card for some time. Anyway my question is: Is 52,000 miles for joining a good deal? I dont know what that would even get me to be honest. I live in San Diego too, travel maybe once or twice a year so I don't know if miles are worth having.

Any thought or places to seek further info appreciated, How miles work, what buys what, etc. Thanks!

Devil is in the Detail !
 

i received the same/similar today - it reads:
25,000 = new amex gold card
25,000 = after charging $10,000 on the card
2,500 = registering another user's name on the card

Yep same exact thing I got.

52,000 miles for getting a new card and spending only $10K is a great deal in my opinion. Just a couple of caveats:

1) 10K of the 52K will probably be due to your $10K in charging

2) if you ever had a DL AmEx and got bonuses, your 52K will be reduced by the number of miles you got previously

What is the yearly fee?

Would someone who got this offer care to share the RSVP code for it? (There should be some special offer/promo id/code printed on the mail on that.)
