American Express Delta Cards $50/$100 ‘Appreciation’ Credit For Card Renewal

[Update: added $50 Platinum credit below.]

American Express is sending out statement credits to some American Express personal cardholders when their annual fee renewal posts:

  • Delta SkyMiles Reserve ($550 annual fee) – $100 statement credit after the card renewal annual fee hits.
  • Delta SkyMiles Platinum ($250 annual fee) – $50 statement credit after the card renewal annual fee hits.

The Delta Reserve credit is mentioned on Reddit, and the Delta Platinum credit is mentioned by numerous readers in the comments. I’m guessing these credits apply to anyone with a card renewal of May 1 – December 31, similar to the other renewal credits on business Amex cards.

Thank you for your continued Card Membership – to get your next membership year off to a rewarding start, you are eligible to receive a $100 one-time statement credit after Card renewal.

  • $100 Statement Credit You will be eligible to receive a one-time $100 statement credit after Card renewal.
  • the statement credit will be applied to the eligible card account within 8-12 weeks of the account renewal month.
  • This statement credit is limited to basic (not Additional) Card Members only.
  • Offer is non-transferable.
  • If the eligible Delta SkyMiles Reserve American Express Card is cancelled, or you have downgraded or upgraded your Card up to 45 days after the first day of your renewal month, you will not receive the one-time $100 statement credit.
  • American Express reserves the right to modify or revoke offer at any time.

Yesterday was Amex business card day and today is Amex personal card day. So far we’ve heard the $200 AmexTravel credit on the personal Platinum and now the $100 credit on Delta Reserve personal. Let us know if you see any others.

appreciation my a**. i downgraded one of my reserve card today. they have gone crazy with the AFs. at least with the business platinum, you get a lot of bang for you buck. what do you really get with this card? it ain’t worth whatever they’re offering.
