[YMMV] American Express Delta Offers – Up To 125,000 Miles No Lifetime Language

Update 8/14/25: New link, need to log into Delta to view offers. 

Update 7/24/25: I got an email with this new link (open it incognito) with no lifetime language. It shows all of the increased offers, even a bit higher this time. YMMV, check your email for [email protected] or try the link and see if it works. 

  • personal Delta Gold: 70k miles after $3,000 in spend within 6 months
  • personal Delta Platinum: 100k miles after $5,000 in spend within 6 months

  • Delta Business Platinum: 110k miles after $6,000 in spend within 6 months
  • Delta Business Reserve: 125k miles after $10,000 in spend within 6 months

Update 11/4/24: More targeted. Hat tip to DDG

The Offers

Direct link to offer (if you get the message ‘PLEASE VERIFY THE INFORMATION YOU ENTERED IS CORRECT AND TRY AGAIN.’ then it means you’re not targeted)

  • Delta/American Express have sent out a number of targeted offers on the co-branded cards.
    • Personal:
      • Gold: 70,000 Bonus Miles
      • Platinum: 90,000 Bonus Miles
      • Reserve: 100,000 Bonus Miles
    • Business:
      • Gold Business: 80,000 Bonus Miles
        Platinum Business: 100,000 Bonus Miles.
        Reserve Business: 110,000 Bonus Miles

The Fine Print

Our Verdict

Previously the offers with no lifetime language have been 60,000 miles + $50 statement credit on the Gold card and lower bonuses on the other two cards. We’ve never seen that $200 statement credit deal as far as I’m aware. The downside to that offer is the $1,000 in Delta spend required. I imagine a lot of people would just prefer the 75,000 + $50 deal as a single purchase triggers the $50 credit rather than requiring $1,000 in spend.

If you’re targeted and have had the card before then I think either deal is worth doing as normally you wouldn’t be eligible for the sign up bonus again (even if you won’t hit the $1,000 in Delta spend required for the $200 bonus). As always read these things everybody should know about American Express if you have any questions. I’ll be creating a special ‘targeted/ymmv’ section of our best credit card bonus page and adding this bonus there.

Got the Delta Business Gold for 90k miles after being in PUJ for the past 2 years. Called AMEX to confirm

Did you get this using the link at the top of this page or through some other means? I’m trying to get the same one.

This did not work for me using Chrome or Edge on my laptop, but I got it to work using iPhone Safari. Nice to get a NLL approval during a PUJ furlough

new NLL link. Just like old time, you have to type your SkyMiles number to see if you are eligible. I can confirm because my number works. But it looks like it’s showing “Invalid SkyMiles Number and Last Name” if you are not targetted from what I heard

Just a DP on how this went for me.

Delta Biz Gold opened 2/24.

Saw this post clicked on the link and got the 60k with 4k spend, in CA with no VPN.
Applied, sole prop/ssn and same Delta number as with first card.

Instant approval, after 2 days confirmed via chat that the 60k offer was applied to my new card.

So for you – (1) applied for 60k / $4k offer with lifetime language – not NLL / increased offers mentioned in post update that no one can get to actually work, (2) didn’t get the popup when submitting your application and (3) appear to be eligible for SUB – as expected if you don’t get the popup?

Is there anything about this that you thought was unexpected? Just that you didn’t get the popup for the normal public offer despite already having the card?

I got the same BUT for 4k spend which killed it for me. For 2k i’d have pulled the trigger

Is the 07-24 link officially dead? All offers are lower than indicated above and have lifetime language. Tried different vpn locations, browsers etc.
