Increased Offers For American Express Delta Cards
These Offers Have Now Ended
If you have had your eyes on one of the American Express Delta cards then I have good news because all of the personal cards have increased offers. Two of the offers are the highest that I can remember ever seeing. If you have been drooling over the recent Delta flash sales then get in while the getting is good.
Offer Details
The offers for each card are as follows:
Gold Delta SkyMiles
The increased welcome offer is:
- Earn 60,000 bonus miles after spending $2,000 within your first 3 months.
- A $50 statement credit when you make your first Delta purchase (a can of Pringles works)
- $95 Annual fee IS waived the first year
- Earn 2X Skymiles on Delta purchases, 1X on everything else.
- Free checked bags on Delta flights

This offer has been as high as 70,000 Skymiles so you may want to hold off on it and see if that offer returns.
Platinum Delta SkyMiles
The increased welcome offer is:
- Earn 75,000 bonus miles and 5,000 Medallion Qualification Miles after spending $3,000 within your first 3 months.
- A $100 statement credit after you make a Delta purchase with your new Card within your first 3 months.
- $195 annual fee IS NOT waived.
- Earn 2X Skymiles on Delta purchases, 1X on everything else.
- Free checked bags
- Priority boarding
- LEARN MORE
This is the highest we have seen the offer (previous high was 70K). That plus the $100 credit make it the best offer of the bunch in my opinion. The card is a good long term keeper for some with the companion pass you earn each year paying the annual fee.
Delta Reserve Credit Card
The increased welcome offer is:
- Earn 75,000 bonus miles and 5,000 Medallion Qualification Miles after spending $5,000 within your first 3 months.
- Earn 2X Skymiles on Delta purchases, 1X on everything else.
- The $450 Annual Fee IS NOT waived.
- Delta Sky Club access – you must have an arriving or departing Delta ticket to access the lounge. Can bring in up to 2 guests for $29 a piece.
- Priority boarding and an upgrade tie breaker.
- Free checked bags
- LEARN MORE
This is the highest I can remember seeing the Skymiles bonus for this card. I have seen the MQM higher in the past. If that is more important than you may want to hold off. This is a good card for frequent Delta flyers that want to jump people on the upgrade list and get extra MQM’s from their spend. If you are after lounge access the American Express Platinum card may be a better option (especially if you can snag the 100K offer)
Conclusion
These are some pretty good offers if you find your self needing Delta Skymiles and enjoy the perks the cards can offer you. A few are as high as we have ever seen them. Hopefully American Express will follow suit with the business cards soon as well. I believe these offers are showing up via referrals as well. Remember that referrals come with 1099’s now too :(.
Also be careful with American Express applications because they have been playing games with welcome offers lately./

Heads up: The 100k offer link in the article points to a Bonvoy card article, not the Platinum card article.
