Our Verdict
The best public bonus on the personal card has been 60,000 miles + $100 statement credit with the annual fee waived (not currently available). I’d recommend waiting for that to come back as it’s regularly available. As far as I know this is the best bonus on the business card so signing up could make sense. I don’t find Delta miles to be particularly valuable, but that really depends on the individual and your home airport/where you want to go. There is also an increased bonus on the Delta Platinum cards as well.
As always before applying for this card or asking basic questions, I’d recommend reading through these things everybody should know about American Express credit cards. If you’ve recently applied, remember that American Express doesn’t usually match sign up bonuses if a higher one comes along but they will sometimes offer courtesy points. You generally need to call and request speaking to a manager as frontline reps/chat reps can’t issue points.
