Looking through my stuff, I find I have an application for a Delta SkyMiles Platinum American Express Card. It has a slightly different offer:
- 15,000 miles after your first charge on the card, of which 5,000 count toward elite status in Delta's frequent flyer program (if you already have a SkyMiles Classic, the bonus is 10,000 miles and if you already have a SkyMiles Gold the bonus is 5,000 miles, but in either case 5,000 miles count toward elite status); (Sure beats a year-end mileage run for 5,000 miles
)
- 10,000 bonus miles if you charge $25,000 in a year;
- a free companion ticket after yearly renewal;
- for an annual fee of $135 ($80 if you have a qualified American Express card).
If anyone is interested, e-mail me your snail-mail address and I'll send the application (first come, first served). Alternatively, you may be able to have one sent to you by calling 1-800-430-1000.

I looked again, and you're absolutely right, outoftown. I'll change the original posting so that it is accurate. Good catch!
It's actually 10,000 BASE miles, not bonus miles for spending $25K/YR. Might make a difference to those who qualify for elite levels based on miles.
