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.

Just a DP on how this went for me.
Delta Biz Gold opened 2/24.
Saw this post clicked on the link and got the 60k with 4k spend, in CA with no VPN.
Applied, sole prop/ssn and same Delta number as with first card.
Instant approval, after 2 days confirmed via chat that the 60k offer was applied to my new card.
So for you – (1) applied for 60k / $4k offer with lifetime language – not NLL / increased offers mentioned in post update that no one can get to actually work, (2) didn’t get the popup when submitting your application and (3) appear to be eligible for SUB – as expected if you don’t get the popup?
Is there anything about this that you thought was unexpected? Just that you didn’t get the popup for the normal public offer despite already having the card?
My sister got an incredible offer on her Delta app yesterday. 100,000 miles with $2000 spend. Me – no such luck!
Is the 07-24 link officially dead? All offers are lower than indicated above and have lifetime language. Tried different vpn locations, browsers etc.
Must be because I’m also having this issue
I received a direct email solicitation from Delta AMEX for 80K miles for $3K spend in 6 months — is no one else seeing that promo? I had the card maybe 2yrs ago, but I didn’t see a lifetime restriction, and I didn’t get the warning that I wouldn’t get the card when I applied. HOWEVER, I didn’t get approved instantly, and then I got a letter saying AMEX needed my bank to verify my address on bank letterhead, with banker contact info! I had my banker do it, then I got another letter saying AMEX couldn’t get a hold of the banker to confirm. The banker called AMEX & confirmed everything, but they wouldn’t accept it because the number he called from wasn’t the 800# on the letterhead he sent. OMG. The banker wrote another letter with his direct line, but then I called AMEX and asked WTF, why I needed my address confirmed when I already had a different AMEX card with them!! AMEX then confirmed some info for my existing AMEX card (Hilton) and then I was approved! Once I got the card, I called to ask if the 80K miles promo was correctly on my acct (since I had so much trouble getting the card approved) and they confirmed it was. Now I have to figure how to charge $3K on an AMEX card — can’t use it at Costco, and I’ve overpaid (by a lot) all of my utilities and monthly bills…
You are not eligible to receive the welcome offer. In determining eligibility, we considered your history with credit card balance transfers, your history as an American Express Card Member, the number of credit cards that you have opened and closed and other factors.
We have not yet performed a credit check. Would you still like to proceed?
Bummer. I currently have the card but was hoping to get a second one.
None of the bonuses are boosted when I click on the link.
The 7/24 link is taking me to a page where every card has lifetime language.
I just applied for my 3rd biz gold card and its pending review. I also currently have a platinum delta card with a different LLC/EIN. Anyone else have this happen?
Are the other Biz Gold’s open currently?
Same Delta Miles number or different miles number?
I just got approved for the Business Gold and I previously had the card. There was a section that said “may or may not qualify for bonus, we will let you know before applying” but I didn’t get any notification so it seems I’m getting the SUB again
Do you need to call to confirm the bonus is attached to you new card? If you don’t get the bonus after the spending, you have nothing to argue with them.
I didn’t call because in the offer said that if I didn’t qualify for the SUB they would notify me so I could withdraw application. It’s $0 annual fee on a business card so nothing to lose
Same exact thing happen to me
I hot the link but it is showing orginal participant last name and sky mule no, and i can not edit it, is there a way around
