Our Verdict
We’ve seen a bigger bonus on the Delta Reserve. We’ve also seen the Platinum with the same 70,000 miles, but with 10,000 MQM and a lower minimum spend bonus. As far as I know this is the equal best offer on the Gold card, but I could very well be wrong about that (please correct me in the comments). None of the offers are particularly interesting but if you have a short term need for Delta miles then the Platinum/Gold would be your best bet. If you have any questions about American Express cards, read this post first. I likely won’t be adding any of these to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
