Our Verdict
We’ve seen higher offers on all of these cards in the past, often they come with a $50 or $100 statement credit as well. Last October there was increased offers for example. Personally think everybody should just wait for a bigger bonus to return on all of these cards especially considering you’re limited to getting one bonus per lifetime with American Express. We won’t be adding these to the best credit card bonus page.
Personal Delta Gold Amex offer via Dummy Booking on Delta.com: $200 Statement credit after making a Delta purchase + 40k Miles after 2k spend in first 3 months, 1st year AF waived.
No love for the no AF Delta Skymiles Blue?
Only love after you downgrade from all the other cards… then you end up with 3-4 of them!
And by “love” I don’t mean any SUB or additional benefits, I mean: welcome to the sock drawer.
Speaking of the Blue card, isn’t it interesting that there isn’t a no-fee business version? For instance, when I had the business platinum delta card, it was either cancel it or keep it, no downgrade to no-fee as with the personal cards.
There are higher targeted offers out there. P2 just got a 60k offer for Delta Gold.
Yup – P2 also got this – wondering if we should take it – what are 60k SkyPesos worth at this point…though its odd, I tried to get her a AMEX Gold via 30k referral and she got a pop-up error
Maybe I should try again
What’s P2? Never heard of it
Shorthand for Player 2, usually refers to spouse/partner who is also part of the churning game. Helpful for bouncing referrals back and forth
Ah c’mon AMEX and give us some 100k bonuses on the Marriott cards.
Sir, this is a Delta post..
Wish they would spin up some upgrade offers on cards.
Seriously, can’t all Amex cards be like the Hilton and Blue Cash family of cards? Each of those upgrades produced hundreds of dollars in bonuses.
Personal plat listed twice above. I believe you may mean business on one. Thanks DOC
Fixed, ty
FWIW, I’m seeing these higher offers through P2’s referrals now too. A chunk of MR might sweeten the deal for anyone thinking about applying.
