Not a huge Delta flier myself, but I just came across this in my inbox. An extra 2,000 bonus miles (on top of the usual 10,000) if you apply for the SkyMiles Gold card:

At Delta, we understand how important earning miles is to our SkyMiles(r) members. Because you've asked to receive partner offers by
e-mail, we're offering you an incredible way to earn miles faster and easier than ever.

APPLY AND EARN 12,000 BONUS MILES

This month, you'll get an EXTRA 2,000 MILES on top of the 10,000 BONUS MILES you usually receive when you make your first purchase with the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express. With an extra
2,000 miles, now is a great time to get the Card. You must apply through
this link by September 30, 2003, to qualify for the additional 2,000 miles.

To apply online now, click below:

Along with this special offer, we make it easy to rack up even more
miles in almost no time.

> Earn two miles for every eligible dollar spent on Delta purchases.
> You'll always earn Double Miles on every eligible dollar spent at
gas stations, drugstores, and more--even on your wireless phone
bill.
> Earn one mile for every eligible dollar spent on all other
purchases.

So, why not take advantage of this offer today? Apply through this link
for your Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express and get
12,000 bonus miles.

This offer has an $85 annual fee. Last I heard you can still get the card for free for a year with 10,000 miles up front. (See the Credit Card section of my web site below.) So that would be an expensive extra 2000 miles.

Free Frequent Flyer Miles

I got the offer too but with 5,000 bonus miles.

Apply And Earn 15,000 Bonus Miles

This month, you'll get an extra 5,000 miles on top of the 10,000 bonus miles you usually receive when you make your first purchase with the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express. With an extra 5,000 miles, now is a great time to get the Card. You must apply through this link by September 30, 2003, to qualify for the additional 5,000 miles.

Here is the link if you think the annual fee worth the 5k miles, or you can wait until they have the offer with 10k miles free for the first year again.
