The Offer
- American Express has increased the signup bonus on both personal and business versions of the Reserve, Platinum, and Gold cards as predicted. A lot of the cards are offering better bonuses when using a referral. To generate a referral use the following link. You can leave and use referrals in this linked post (do not share them in the comments below).
- Personal offers:
- Delta Gold: 60,000 miles + $50 statement credit with the annual fee waived (there has been much better offers previously)
- Platinum Delta: 75,000 miles + 5,000 MQM after $3,000 in spend within three months + $100 statement credit after first purchase
- Delta Reserve: 75,000 miles + 5,000 MQM after spending $6,000 + $100 statement credit after first purchase (available via referral only. Public link doesn’t have the statement credit)
- Business offers:
- Delta Gold: 70,000 miles + $50 statement credit with the annual fee waived (there has been much better offers previously)
- Platinum Delta: 80,000 miles + 5,000 MQM after $6,000 in spend within three months + $100 statement credit after first purchase
- Delta Reserve: 80,000 miles + 10,000 MQM after spending $6,000 (available via referral only. Public link is only 5,000 MQM instead of 10,000)
The Fine Print
- These offers are valid through July 2, 2019
Our Verdict
All of the offers are quite strong, although we’ve seen much better offers on the Gold card before so I wouldn’t consider getting these now and those come around frequently. Previously we’ve seen a bonus of 70,000 miles + 10,000 MQM on the Reserve card and 70,000 miles + $100 on the Platinum card. So it looks like the above offers are better than those (at least when using a referral link). We have seen an offer of 80,000 miles + 5k MQM + $100 statement credit on the Delta Business Platinum recently.
DP:
$50 Delta GC purchased with Delta Gold card: 8-11-19
Statement credit: 8-13-19
you purchased via delta website on a desktop computer?
My spouse received a targeted 70K offer +100 statement credit on the Delta Gold personal via snail mail. I normally chuck most offers but decided to apply and instantly approved. Have a trip coming up next year and Delta has best rates right now.
dear diary
PSA: DP GC STILL A GO
Statement Credit still works on purchase of Delta GC BUT ONLY FROM DESKTOP BROWSER.
Delta GC purchase posted 7.26.19
Statement credit posted 7.28.19
Note this is only on Delta Amex cards
Did you buy $50 increments?
Yes
So would this still work for the Amex Plat biz and personal?
Not likely.
Seems like the link expired

Same Offer. DPs: Wife got the offer, had only Amex Gold Biz and other Amex previously. I had the same but more churning of Amex. Didn’t get it, and I still get the Pre-apply pop up. Havent tried applying for it yet with her’s because she’s 4.24.
Reminder: if you can find the offer you want via referral the expiration is not until 7/30.
Are the Reserve cards worth it? For $450 annual fee it doesn’t seem like it.
Can I sign up and get the bonus for the personal platinum, if I currently hold the personal Delta Blue card (downgraded from Gold about a year ago)? Thanks.
Yes
