[YMMV] American Express Delta Offers – Up To 110,000 Miles No Lifetime Language

Update 11/4/24: More targeted. Hat tip to DDG

The Offers

Direct link to offer (if you get the message ‘PLEASE VERIFY THE INFORMATION YOU ENTERED IS CORRECT AND TRY AGAIN.’ then it means you’re not targeted)

  • Delta/American Express have sent out a number of targeted offers on the co-branded cards.
    • Personal:
      • Gold: 70,000 Bonus Miles
      • Platinum: 90,000 Bonus Miles
      • Reserve: 100,000 Bonus Miles
    • Business:
      • Gold Business: 80,000 Bonus Miles
        Platinum Business: 100,000 Bonus Miles.
        Reserve Business: 110,000 Bonus Miles

The Fine Print

Our Verdict

Previously the offers with no lifetime language have been 60,000 miles + $50 statement credit on the Gold card and lower bonuses on the other two cards. We’ve never seen that $200 statement credit deal as far as I’m aware. The downside to that offer is the $1,000 in Delta spend required. I imagine a lot of people would just prefer the 75,000 + $50 deal as a single purchase triggers the $50 credit rather than requiring $1,000 in spend.

If you’re targeted and have had the card before then I think either deal is worth doing as normally you wouldn’t be eligible for the sign up bonus again (even if you won’t hit the $1,000 in Delta spend required for the $200 bonus). As always read these things everybody should know about American Express if you have any questions. I’ll be creating a special ‘targeted/ymmv’ section of our best credit card bonus page and adding this bonus there.

I have a downgraded Delta blue card. Can I still apply for this Delta card and get the bonus? If not, if I close the current blue card, can I get the bonus? Thanks

I was able to use this link: AMEX Delta in Chrome Incognito to apply for the Gold Card with 80k bonus. I was approved and the 80k bonus had no lifetime language when at the final accept portion of the application process. I had the card last 2 years ago and got a bonus then.

Skypoopoo won’t get you that nice J Class flight unless 160k-200k skypesos roundtrip. Anywho the best thing that i’ve used Skypoopoo is basic economy for positioning or seeing family. I could care less on a 3-4 hr flight while dumpster Diamond flex shitty FC domestic lol. I already have Exec Plat with AA which actually allows me much better perks w/o being loyal to shitty trash USA airlines. they’re all hot shit

Serious question, Delta seems to have the worst mileage ratio to booking a flight. AA is far better for the dollar and its confusing. For example, a flight on Delta costs $400, I have $500 in Delta miles if I was gonna buy them on the website and my miles wont even cover half the price of the flight. I cant make sense of this. I have $500 worth of points but cant even pay for half of a $400 flight? And its been that way for a hot minute.

You can use them at 1 cpp while you hold a credit card, so they do have a floor value for Delta.

Skymiles can have decent value when used for economy flights during sales, for both international and domestic, but at the very least they have that floor value.
