American Express Gold Delta: 50,000 Miles + $50 On Business & Personal Cards

The Offers

  • Receive a sign up bonus of 50,000 Delta Skymiles after $1,000 in purchases and a $50 statement credit after your first Delta purchase on the personal and business versions of the Gold Delta SkyMiles credit cards from American Express. Here is how to get these offers:

The Fine Print

  • Annual fee is waived the first year
  • If you’ve ever received the sign up bonus on the personal card, you cannot receive it again.
  • You can get the sign up bonus on the business card as long as you’ve not held this product in the last twelve months

Our Verdict

If you’ve recently applied for an inferior offer, it’s worth asking them to match you to this bonus as lots of people are reporting success. This is a pretty common offer on the Gold Delta cards, how valuable this offer is really depends on your own situation and how valuable you find Delta miles.

I’ve personally got enough, so I’ll be giving this offer a miss – but I am sure some of my readers will find it useful.

  • The method works for me.
    I was instantly approved for $2000 (meh...). My FICO currently is around 743

  • Applied but got a pending review notice. Few minutes later, got an email writing that a decision was made which I was able to verify using the provided link. The site listed the application as 'cancelled'. Is that AMEX's polite way of saying denied? Is there a minimum wait time between amex apps? I had applied and was approved for two other amex cards about 2 months prior.

  • Errored out submitting the app the first time for the biz card but got pending the 2nd time. Thanks for posting - was waiting for one of these to come out!

    • That was quick. Got an approved email 30 min after applying for the biz card and getting pending!! Glad I didn't waste my time on the phone! Thanks again for posting - only blog I've seen with this offer posted. 50k more miles = Score!

      • You're welcome, David. Glad you got approved. Make sure you share this post so others find out about this deal as well :).

        • I shared on Twitter. Funny enough, Amex emailed me that the other app is now pending. I've heard of that happening - accidental error apps getting double approvals. Slight chance.

  • I'm not really interested in this offer for myself, but I have a friend that would be. When I follow your instructions (in both Firefox and Safaria regular and private/incognito mode) and hit submit, all it does is refresh the screen to deltaamexcard.com. Thoughts?

    • brenton,

      at that point paste the link mentioned next in the article into the browser and you will get an application page with your name and skymiles number prefilled. I was able to apply and get accepted for this offer.
