The Offer
Direct link to offer: Reserve
- American Express is offering 7,500-10,000 miles when you add an authorized user and spend $500 within three months
F.A.Q
No, you can be added as an authorized and then sign up for the card as the primary cardholder and still receive the sign up bonus.
Who needs to spend the money to trigger the bonus?
Authorized user needs to complete the spend requirement. Keep in mind authorized users have their own unique card number so this is easy to track. It’s highly unlikely that spend completed by the primary cardholder will trigger the bonus.
Our Verdict
Not as good as the recent 20,000 Membership Rewards offer, but still worth doing.
Got this on both of our accounts:
We are sorry, you are not able to apply for an Additional Card online.
Please call the number on the back of your Card if you have additional inquiries.
I got the one for $500 / 5k a couple weeks ago via email on my Delta Blue (previously downgraded from Gold). Expiry is 1/31/23.
Yea. I got the 10k with $500 spend on my Delta Reserve emailed to me about a week ago
Not targeted on my or P2’s cards, sadly.
Offered 7.5k miles with $500 spend on delta platinum.
Have the Delta Blue, was offered 5k miles for $500 authorized user add and spend.
Anyone have links for Gold + Plat?
Have the Delta Gold, was offered 5k miles for $500 auth user add and spend.
Same
Is there a link or was it just in your account? Thanks!
Same here, 5k for $500 on Delta Gold. Wonder who’s getting 10k? Must be higher tier cards. I’ll still probably do it, since the spend is so low to qualify.
Can the authorized user card be closed within 60 days to avoid adding a social security number?
Need to update it, authorizesd user card is $175 and has spend $500. Not worth it
You can add Delta Platinum card users to your Delta Reserve card for free.
