The Offers
Direct link to offer (if you get the message ‘PLEASE VERIFY THE INFORMATION YOU ENTERED IS CORRECT AND TRY AGAIN.’ then it means you’re not targeted)
- Delta/American Express have sent out a number of targeted offers on the co-branded cards.
- Amex Delta Gold: 70,000 miles after $3,000 in spend
- Amex Delta Platinum: 90,000 miles after $4,000 in spend
- Amex Delta Reserve: 100,000 miles after $6,000 in spend
Business versions are the same but an extra 10,000 miles.
The Fine Print
- These offers does not have the once per lifetime language, but please double check your own offer.
- Offers valid until February 20th, 2019
Our Verdict
Previously the offers with no lifetime language have been 60,000 miles + $50 statement credit on the Gold card and lower bonuses on the other two cards. We’ve never seen that $200 statement credit deal as far as I’m aware. The downside to that offer is the $1,000 in Delta spend required. I imagine a lot of people would just prefer the 75,000 + $50 deal as a single purchase triggers the $50 credit rather than requiring $1,000 in spend.
If you’re targeted and have had the card before then I think either deal is worth doing as normally you wouldn’t be eligible for the sign up bonus again (even if you won’t hit the $1,000 in Delta spend required for the $200 bonus). As always read these things everybody should know about American Express if you have any questions. I’ll be creating a special ‘targeted/ymmv’ section of our best credit card bonus page and adding this bonus there.

applied for platinum biz, insta approved. Sub 700 score, but have a real business for which I already have other amex cards. Actually closed the biz plat few months ago, too, and have been getting popup saying I’m not eligible for SUB on some other cards.
Seems they really wanna push these cards. Obv I’ll be closing in 1 year. I can easily cash in the ride sharing $120 bucks, and will get a decent chunk of the resy 120 bucks, so AF of 110 bucks for 90k pesos isn’t terrible. Despite all the devals, you can still get a min of 1 cent, far more if you really dig hard into the sweet spots…
These never work for p2 and I. My toxic trait is always checking!
Gosh, what could you do with 110,000 skypesos? You could almost take a round-trip in coach on the East Coast!
The redemption values for hotel stays through Delta Stays isn’t terrible. So there’s that
Good to know, thank you!
One big (negative) change for the Amex Delta Gold. Annual fee: $0 intro for the first year, then $150.
Uselessss Skypesossssss
When I enter my details, nothing happens, not even “you’re ineligible”.
Same here. It seems this is the new behavior for people not targeted.
Yup, exactly the same behavior….
Same for me as well.
110K delta miles may be just enough for an award economy flight between JFK and Newark airports 🙂
On the bus, no less.
My wife’s account got the offer at booking of 40,000 / $300.
Last week I received a mailer with a link to https://www.delta.com/plat85k when I entered my delta skymiles # and my last name, I was able to click through to the delta business gold which was a 65k with $3k in 3 months $0 AF with NLL. previously had the card and cancelled it in November 2021.
Does anyone still see “no lifetime” language? I for some reason do not see any offers, and fake booking offers 30K with $300 credit. Need to sign up for the card as I need to purchase some delta tickets.
