Our Verdict
This is the same deal that was offered back in August of this year, the only difference is during the previous time period there was also an increase on the American Express Platinum Delta SkyMiles cards as well. Keep in mind that you can only get each personal American Express bonus once per lifetime, whereas the business cards are churnable.
I’m not a fan of SkyPesos SkyMiles so I’m not going to go after this offer. American Express recently announced a new six year deal with Delta so I actually wouldn’t be surprised to see this offer go up in the future. If you live in a Delta hub, or find good value in Delta SkyMiles then this offer might make sense for you.
