[Targeted] American Express Platinum Delta SkyMiles 80k Miles + 20k MQM’s + $100 Statement Credit

Update: See comments for details of this promo, it was misleading by American Express.

The Offer

  • Receive a sign up bonus of 20,000 Medallion Qualification Miles and 80,000 Delta miles when you spend $3,000 or more on the Platinum Delta SkyMiles Personal credit card from American Express within three months of account opening. You’ll also receive a $100 statement credit after you make a Delta purchase with your new card within the first three months.

Card Details

  • Annual fee of $195 is not waived
  • Card earns at the following rates:
    • 2x miles on all purchases made directly with Delta
    • 1x miles on all other purchases
  • Receive another 10,000 MQM after you spend $25,000 or more within a calendar year and an additional 10,000 MQM when you spend $50,000 or more within a calendar year for a total of 20,000 MQM (plus the sign up bonus)
  • No foreign transaction fees
  • Receive a Domestic Main Cabin round-trip companion certificate each year upon renewal of your Card (Payment of the government imposed taxes and fees of no more than $75 for roundtrip domestic flights (for itineraries with up to four flight segments) is required)

Our Verdict

Pretty crazy bonus, previous high (and still available via referral links) was 70,000 miles + 10k MQM + $100. This is an extra 10,000 miles and an extra 10k MQM.

Just seeing this offer. I just called to apply for the this card and they are not offering 20k MQMs but did offer 80K bonus and $100 statement credit. Not sure if the difference if the offer is because I applied for the Business version.

I received this exact offer as a mailer (80k + $100 and no MQMs). Probably won’t take it.

Hello, just wondering if you also get the companion certificate when you apply for the card or only when you renew the card (1 year after you apply for the card)? Thanks.

Does Delta gift card count as Delta purchase? If yes, there are e-gift and physical cards. Do they both count?

Where is the link for the 70k offer? And how long will it last?

But there is a targeted offer of 60k for the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card. I got an email with that offer.

I am sorry… I was just told that it turns out that the 80k offer is Delta being misleading. Actually 80k just means 70k sign-up bonus plus 10k bonus if you spend $25,000 in a calendar year, which is included in the standard offer…

not a new offer. If you click the benefit term of current 70k offer, you can see benefit named platinum booster, which is spending 25000 and get 10k bonus miles and 10kmqm, spending 50000, get 20k and 20k mqm.

It is misleading to say up to 80k.

The platinum booster is in addition to the sign up bonus 70k and 10k mqm
