Even if you sign out and you are a current card member, it will force you to sign back in to see any special offers. So it sounds like in order to be able to see any targeted offers, you must not be an Amex card member.

Even signed out, I wasn't seeing the "special offers" tab, as it shows a page with my current card types displayed - must be a cookie. So I tried in Firefox Private mode and the special offers link showed up. But after filling in the name, address, and last four of SSN, it forced me to sign in.
Sounds like it might be a good time to be a brand new AMEX customer though!

I tend to focus on flights more than credit cards, but I just signed up for a similar offer delta.com gave me when I was looking at flights:
no fee first year
$100 statement credit with first DL purchase
25,000 miles with first purchase
45,000 miles after spending $5,000 in 6 months
However the card seems pretty terrible once you get all the bonus miles, what's the conventional wisdom about account closing timing to minimize the effect on a credit score?

has anyone every called or sent an online message to amex requesting to be targeted for a certain offer? we have two separate accounts with them that spend $10k+/month each, but have only been running for 3 months, think they would agree?

Finally got around to applying. Since this is my first app with amex, what's the opinion on 2 apps with 1 inquiry? I was just instant on the PRG and was wondering if I could get by with the same inquiry on delta. I know with Citi this works most of the time, but I've seen mixed reviews on amex.

I just got these two offers, the bonus ID on the PRG is 6939. Is the Delta Gold a can't miss offer? I mainly fly on SWA and AA, but 72.5k miles seems pretty good. Hopefully a new round of higher targeted offers signals some better public ones ahead. (wishful thinking)
thanks

bummer! i just pulled the trigger on 30 k and $50 credit when booking a tkt on delta. haven't received the card yet, was instantly approved. do you have the offer code or something, maybe i will try my luck to get bumped when i activate my card or through secure message.
thanks
thanks
I barely got to get my 50k bonus applied to my account and it wasn't a targeted offer.
