Our Verdict
Offer most likely expires on July 5th, 2017 as that’s when the public 60,000 + $50 offer expires. This is the highest we’ve ever seen this bonus so if you’re interested in/need Delta miles then now is a good chance to get this card as I doubt we will see a higher offer in the short term.
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.

Declined because I had applied for both HH cards in May :(
Thank you for applying for the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card. We value your Membership and appreciate your interest in another American Express Card. We regret we are unable to approve this request.
The reason for our decision is that you have reached the maximum number and type of Cards that we will approve within the period of a few months.
Q: I thought that AMEX had a max lifetime limit of 4-5 cards. Any idea about their limit within a few months??
Correction: When I said Lifetime above, I meant 4-5 cards at the same time.
And this is what I found for max limit within a few months - 3 or more within 90 days will probably be declined

If you have the gold card, are you able to refer someone so they can get the 60k +$100 or 60k + $50? If so, how do you do that?
Just an FYI, I think you may need to have the flights booked between two locales within the USA, or maybe if your departing airport is within the united states. I'm currently located overseas and I could not get the offer to show between two international destinations even though there were delta partner flights available, but I changed the combo to two US airports and it popped right up. I often have issues doing MS/Churning internationally - some cards won't even let you apply if they see that foreign IP.
I have 4 Amex CCs. Should I try to apply? If I get denied, it's only a SP anyway, right?
Gold has been as high as 70k+$100 before - https://travelsort.com/blog/70000-skymiles-with-delta-gold-amex-and-100-statement-credit
Don't think that link ever actually worked?
Thanks -- it worked! People who think DL miles are "worthless" need to look again. Yes, they are not THE best miles, but they can come in handy in certain situations. Considering we only have 3 network carriers in the USA, it's crazy not to have options on all three if you're a frequent traveler. For example, I recently flew back from Hawaii on DL on a peak day for only 5,000 more miles than the "saver" level when all the other airlines wanted 2x for the flight.
If I already have an amex gold delta because I downgraded from an amex plat delta, but never reaped a signup bonus from it, can I still apply for this bonus?
No
Hey Chuck, Will,
I messaged you first and then posted this to reddit. Miles to Memories picked up my post from Reddit:
