Our Verdict
You can currently get a bonus of 70,000 miles + 10k MQM + $100 via a referral. That offer is much better (although the spend requirement is $2,000 lower on this offer and this offer comes with an extra 5,000 MQM), but this offer is attractive as it doesn’t contain the once per lifetime language meaning you should be able to get this bonus even if you’ve had the card before. As always it’s a good idea to carefully read your offer to make sure it’s absent that language. If you have any questions regarding American Express cards, read this post first.

The 70k offer is better in my opinion unless you are hardcore going after attaining status. I have a referral link if anybody is interested in the 70k offer.
Please don't shill your referral links in posts like this. You're also missing the whole point of this offer (the no lifetime language).
so it is 45K + 15k for a total of 60k miles?
As usual, not available to me. :(
I closed my Delta Plat Business last month, entered my info and got the error message (not targeted).
I received the offer for 60k/$1000 MSR, $50 credit $0 intro AF. Do you think this might be a good deal if I had never had this card before?
The article clearly states:

Sounds like the offer on the Gold Delta Amex. This is for the Platinum Delta Amex and is only a good offer for people who have had the card before.
I am never, ever offered anything from Delta. :-(
Interesting Amex is coming up with so many offers without the lifetime language... I they realized they can't lose all customers after all.
I entered my SkyMiles number and last name and got the message, "PLEASE VERIFY THE INFORMATION YOU ENTERED IS CORRECT AND TRY AGAIN."
