Our Verdict
Looks like this one is widely available, but again, it’s only for going to BOS, RDU or SEA. Weird kind of offer which we’ve never really seen before. Still nice for people in those areas or going there.

If I purchase two fares on the same itinerary that cost $150 each ($300 total), will I still receive the statement credit? Asking because when I purchase two fares on the same itinerary with other airlines (Southwest, Frontier), it appears as two separate charges on my credit card.
the fine prints say “in one or more transactions”. so it prob won’t matter in your case

any caveat for
refundable” flights?showed up on my platinum card but not everyday or blue cash
Got it (to BOS, SEA, RDU) on my blue cash preferred.
Hmmm. Why such a discriminating offer? If I live in any of these 3 locations, I can go (almost) ANYWHERE! Hundreds of options for travel. But if I leave anyplace else, just 3 possibilities (if at all – for those who do not have direct options with delta) 🙁
Delta, just make it easier on everyone and offer something like $20 off $200 for any kind of travel.
Do we have to fly and complete the trip by Sept. 5th or just purchase by the 5th?
should just be purchase by
The offer might seem weird, but it really isn’t. If you’ve been following Delta’s recent efforts to build up mini-hubs in Seattle, Boston, and Raleigh, then this offer makes perfect sense. This is Delta trying to jump start passenger traffic to these mini-hubs. I’m sure Delta is reimbursing Amex for the full amount of the offer. Think of this as a Delta offer with Amex as the broker.
I agree, it seems very strategic. For me it works out since I am SEA based. Though I would think Delta missed an opportunity by not saying people could use SEA, RDU and BOS as connecting airports (if the offer said travel must be to, from or through those cities). A connecting itinerary would result in 4 segments for the airport rather than 2.
My guess is there are concessions or tax considerations Delta has written into these airports with the local jurisdictions based on O/D passengers. A connecting passenger does not impact the local economy beyond the airport the same way.
This point is a bit odd: “Flights must be purchased as non-stop round trip (no connections). Multi-City and one way flights with the same origin/destination requirements will not qualify for meeting the purchase requirement of $200.” So does this mean that if I am flying to BOS but there are no direct flights and I have to connect through ATL on the way too and from BOS then it won’t trigger the AMEX Offer?
That’s how I read it, which is a bit frustrating living in DEN with a flight to BOS coming up, but no DL nonstops…
Just my hunch, but I’m going to guess that tickets with connections, but otherwise are RT with O/D with the cities listed will trigger (at least most of the time, so longer as the PNR isn’t split). From an IT and data perspective the transaction should come over to AMEX as a RT “X > BOS > X” or “SEA > X > SEA” in a PNR even with the connections. OWs and mutli-cities are harder to track/register.
Seems like AMEX offers are getting less and less useful, with more and more off the wall offers that make it harder to justify renewing cards with AF, even moreso when these very specific offers are not sent to everyone, and with no rhyme or reason for targeting.
Also wish there was a way to filter offer from oldest to newest.
Hi – Since the multi-tab trick stopped working is there any current way to get these AMEX offers across more than one AMEX card under one user? TIA
They are per SSN now. So you can only get multiple on the same card, as long as you have auth users of the card who also have been targetted.
