Our Verdict

It’s a 20% discount on the $800 in spend. It might be possible to just buy $800 in Delta gift cards and use them up at your own pace – let us know if that works for you (updated: confirmed to work). Could be a gift card reselling play if you have the right selling relationships.

I don’t seem to have gotten it on any cards, unfortunately, but based on reports of others it seems to be available to a lot of people on some cards. My impression is that this offer is found on points-earning personal cards.
