Update 2/3/23: This is showing up again via dummy booking.

No direct link, shows up when doing a dummy booking

Card Details
- Annual fee of $99 waived first year
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 2x miles per $1 spent on restaurants (including takeout and delivery), groceries and Delta purchases
- 1x miles per $1 spent on all other purchases
- $100 Delta Flight Credit when you spend $10,000 in purchases on your Card in a calendar year
- First Checked Bag Free
- 20% Back on In-flight Purchases
- Receive Main Cabin 1 Priority Boarding on Delta flights
Our Verdict
Has been as high as 90k miles or 70k + $200. This is a better deal if you value Delta miles at 1¢ or less.
I opened this card a year and a few days ago.
In order to avoid clawback of the bonus, can I cancel the card the day after the first annual fee posts, or do I have to wait until the end of the cycle in which the fee posts?
This card is being refreshed:
Annual fee going to 150.
flight credit now 200 after 10k in spend
new 100 delta stays credit (hotel and flight booking together)
Actually, all of the delta cards are getting refreshed:

50k miles after 3k in spend + 400 statement credit after delta purchase with dummy booking – in pop up jail and thought this may have a chance to go through but still got pop up.
This is showing up as 50k+$300 for me on a dummy booking (or 70k directly from amex). Is there a way to trigger 50k+$400 or has the offer changed for everyone?
I applied for the AE Gold Delta Card on November 27, 2022. The offer included $400 statement credit after spending $2000 in the first 3 months. I met the criteria and never saw the credit posted. I initiated several investigations, all of which say that offer never existed. I need to find the media ad for that date. Can someone help me?
You don’t get the credit from the #2K spend. The $400 is added when you make your first Delta charge.
Just applied and got approved via dummy booking. Got number too. Questions does any delta purchase trigger 400 or it has to be 400+? Can it be used as part of the 2K spend or it is separate?
Can be anything. I paid $5.60 in taxes on an award booking, using the temp card number, and that triggered it for me.
Any specifics about what triggered the 50K + 400 offer?
VPN location? Flight source and destination? Seat type? Were you logged into to Delta? Were you logged into Amex?
Thanks in advance
Cancelled my last Gold card in 2017. Just received in mailer for 70k. The dummy booking also shows $400+50k. Just curious if the dummy booking app will not be honored since it’s not targeted?
Is this 15% off a time limited feature or a permanent featured benefit on these delta cards? And is it for just economy award redemptions or business/first class award redemptions too?
Weird, at home with VPN and Incognito I can only get $300 offer to show up. At work, no VPN and no incognito, I see the $400 offer almost every time. (Not logged in on either computer.)
Is there a way to get the Biz version to popup instead of the personal?
You should mark in you Delta account that you are a business owner.
