How to Load
This offer is targeted and thus cannot be loaded via social media and can only be found on the American Express website. According to this slickdeals thread, it was found on Blue Cash cards.
Conclusion
This offer is good if you have upcoming direct air purchases with Delta. The purchases are cumulative meaning you don’t have to spend all of the money in one transaction and as mentioned in the terms, the spend can include more than just your tickets. Obviously this offer would be maximized with a purchase of exactly $500, but that might be hard to achieve.

I was wondering if it would work on Gift Card purchase, also.
I found one bonus on my Starwood personal card. I have a number of cards. At least I got one.

On my blue cash everyday. Definitely the last card I expected to have it!
Follow up question – I don’t see any mention of gift cards. I’m guessing it wouldn’t work, but does anyone have any thoughts on this?
PRG for me. So 3x points on the purchase as well!
Nice!!!
Thanks – it was on my SPG card.
