Our Verdict

I’m seeing this on both of my AmEx business cards, but not on my personal cards. Nice discount on Delta flight, just note the qualification that the flight must originate from US and be in USD. Also note the gift card purchase exclusion, though – in practice – I believe this has always worked in prior offers (correct me, please, if I’m wrong).

Do gift card purchases trigger the credits this time? I see people are saying no?

Just purchased $200 e-gift card from delta.com, and immediately received “You just used your Amex Offer” email from AmEx.

Did anyone receive the credit yet for legit Delta purchase(s) ?
I made some award bookings with taxes >$200, but didn’t receive the credit yet.
My experience is that any Amex statement credits usually post within a few days.

There have been many delays with the posting of credits from offers. I am waiting on this as well, and also other credits from Feb 1

I just chatted about this credit and was assured that the credit is valid and would post within the next 10 biz days.
We’ll see.

Got it on my BBP. Nice for cash fares but beware the GCs are super low use. Can’t be used to cover seat upgrades or fees of any kind. Only for fares so you’re better off not getting a GC.
