Update 01/25/18: Offer is dead.
Update 01/24/18: Really not sure how we missed this but reader Robert published this link that will work for anybody. Click here to use that link. Keep in mind this offer expires on January 24th, 2018 so you don’t have long to apply. I’m not sure what timezone American Express goes by, or if the expiration date will be enforced.
Update 01/23/18: Reposting as this is due to expire tomorrow. Try this link or this link to see if you are targeted.
Update 01/07/18: There is now a new link and more people seem to be targeted as well. Probably worth trying both links (other one here).

Our Verdict
The best public bonus has been 60,000 miles + $100 statement credit with the annual fee waived. This is $50 less but an additional 15,000 miles so significantly better. This is the best offer we’ve seen on this card. Officially American Express doesn’t match sign up bonuses if you’ve recently applied, but they do sometimes offer courtesy points. For your best chance it’s recommended to call and escalate to a manager if necessary. For more tips when it comes to American Express please read this post.
If you have a need for Delta miles then this is a good offer and I don’t see it getting any better than this in the short term so I’d recommend applying. I won’t be adding this to the best credit card bonus page due to it’s YMMV nature.
