Our Verdict
These offers are all significantly worse than the offers we recently saw from American Express + Delta. I’d recommend waiting for better offers to return and we won’t add these to the best credit card bonus page.

I'm seeing the Gold with 70k+$200 Delta credit ($2k spend, AF waived) with dummy booking.
BTW that's still not the historical best; that would be 70k + $400 or 90k + $200,
I am seeing the same.
I miss the $200 statement credit on gold and plat :(
I am confused about using points with Delta. Do you have to have a Delta credit card in order to book with miles? I can covert my Amex points to my Skymiles account which can cover the entire flight. However, I am not sure if I will be able to since I don't have a Delta credit card. Any help would be appreciated.
These credit cards are only there to help you earn miles easily and to enjoy delta airline-specific benefits.
You can use the Skymiles without the Delta credit card.
No
You don't need a delta credit card to do what you want to do
I get the pop up for Delta cards. No matter that I have spent $60k on Amex cards so far this year.
Same here, first time I got the damn pop up.
Delta cards are the only Amex cards I've never touched yet.
AmEx never matches, right? I had signed up for the 125k + 10k MQM reserve about 2 weeks ago, but I'd rather have 80k + 20k MQM.
no match, but can gift some points afaik
Biz Gold shows as an all-time high on USCreditCardGuide? What should I be waiting for instead?
I think the offers are worse for the personal cards, but for the business side they are actually pretty decent. The plat is 90k + 10k MQM + 100 for 3k spend. Previously, it was 95k and I think + 200 for $5k spend. This isn't drastically worse, $100 and 5k less, but 2k less spend and 10k MQM.
Got a targeted mail offer on the Platinum for 90K + companion ticket in year 0 after $3k, and the $100 credit. Any better than these? 🤷♀️
That's a solid offer.
Thanks to Doc, I applied incognito and got approved for Delta Gold for 90k plus $200 credit and 0 AF, $2000 spend, few months ago. But did not get the monthly $10 restaurant credit.
P2 got upgrade offer from no fee delta to platinum for don't exactly remember the points plus $200 (did not accept), while talking to rep.
