Our Verdict
Yesterday we posted about the same bonus on the business version of this card, it’s also available on the personal version. Previous high on this bonus was 40,000 miles + 10,000 MQM so this is an extra 30,000 miles. Even with the massively increased bonus I don’t think it’s worth considering unless your desperate for the MQM (and have already done the Platinum offers) or really want the Delta club access due to the massive $450 annual fee. I won’t be adding this to the best credit card bonuses because of that. As always if you have questions about, please read this post first before asking them.
