The Offer
- Delta is offering a $20 Starbucks giftcard when you purchase a $300 Delta giftcard
Our Verdict
Stack this with the AmEx offer for 4,500 MR points. (no longer offered)
I have an offer on my Delta Amex Gold to get 4x the points on a Delta gift card purchase
Thank you! I just checked my account and I have 3x points on Delta gift card up to $10,000
same here… was thinking about doing this but Delta isn’t a hub for me. Can I use the Delta gift on Delta.com to book hotels?
Only buy this if you plan on using the GC right away. Bought a egiftcard (processed by Cashstar/Blackhawk Network) when Amex had a $X amount back offer years ago and tried to use it the other day (haven’t used it and when you search it on the site it shows it’s full value), but I couldn’t book anything and when I called Delta they looked it up and someone (a fraudster) used it to book and fly a flight a year ago.
Also annoyingly Delta doesn’t let you simply load these to your SM account. You need to keep the email/pin until ready you use (and hope there is still value on it when you do!)
You can book a flight and then cancel, so you get the ecredit back in your account.
Not worth it for the $20 only. Mysteriously “closed” account and never used the full amount. Starbucks customer service is pointing the finger at Delta and telling me to go back to them.
Deta gift cards have too many restrictions. They should not even be called gift cards or be marketed as gift cards. They are basically the same as travel credit (albeit without expiration date).
Personally, I think DOT should investigate Delta for misleading consumers.
Can you use them for basic economy?
I received the 4,500 points today. They do indeed stack.
Bought a Delta GC last night after seeing this. Received email from Amex congratulating me in redeeming the offer.
I made the purchase yesterday, got the offer email within an hour, and the offer shows as redeemed today. Seems to work fine not using the link stated in the offer.
I also got the Amex email that it stacked (triggered the Amex offer) almost immediately after purchasing
I have spend $300 get $50 off, does this work with gift card purchase or does it specifically have to say Delta gift card purchase.
Specifically delta if it doesn’t say delta gift cards. Wording is very specific, I would reread your terms.
Seeing $25 Starbucks gift card when you buy $250 delta card. May be in flight only though (on a flight right now). Not sure if this link works outside of airplane WiFi
