Our Verdict
This is the best publicly available offer I’ve seen on this card, there was once a 60,000 + $50 targeted offer (and 70,000 targeted offer) but nothing publicly available as good as this. Some people have probably already applied for this card as it recently was increased to 50,000 + $50, you can try and get matched with American Express but they usually don’t match (instead they will give courtesy points). Let us know if you’re succesful in the comments below.
You can also currently get 50,000 miles + $50 on the business version of this card and 60,000 miles + $100 on the platinum version (both personal & business cards). Before applying for this card, I’d recommend reading these 19 things you should know about American Express credit cards. That post should also answer any commonly ask questions people might have.
Hat tip to US Credit Card Guide
Doesn’t work for me. Got 50k + $50.
Has anyone who lives in Maryland applied for this card? I checked Credit pull database and saw Equifax from someone in 2012 and also saw Experian in 2016. I wonder if they’ll pull only experian.
does buying $16 wifi for delta from delta.com trigger the statement credit?
It should work, but not 100% sure.
I just purchased the 24 hour wifi pass from delta.com with my new Delta Gold Amex, and I am not optimistic that it will trigger the statement credit. The charge shows up as “GoGoAir.COM IN FLIGHT INTERNET” with nary a mention of Delta anywhere…
Will,
I did apply for and got approved for 50k +$50 credit on delta flights purchased within 90 days. Will they approve a $100 credit instead? What can I do?
You can try and get matched, I doubt American Express will do it though.
How can we leverage the $100 statement credit for a Delta purchase if we don’t need to buy a Delta ticket? Delta GC? Anything else? Delta swag, etc?
You can buy a Delta gift card. I signed up for the 60k + $50 offer in April and that’s what I did.
Delta GC triggers it, or just purchase the cheapest food item on a Delta flight.
“Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product.”
Thought it was worth a try. Only saw the offer when not logged into my account.
I tried purchasing a ticket and it offered 60000 miles and 100 usd statement credit.
Did you log-in to your Delta account? Any idea how you got the 60k offer?
how did you get 60K and 100$ credit??????
how did you get 60K?
