There is a targeted offer right now with an increased sign-up bonus offer for the American Express Platinum Delta SkyMiles Card. Rob got the offer emailed to him but unfortunately cannot take advantage of it because he and I got this card last year and remember, we used our big influx of bonus points towards business class tickets to Italy. American Express does not let you get a second sign-up bonus for a card that you have already had at any point in your lifetime-Boo!
Anyway, Rob’s emailed offer is to earn 70,000 bonus miles and 10,000 Medallion Qualification Miles after you make $3,000 in purchases on your new Card within your first 3 months and a $100 statement credit after you make a Delta purchase with your new Card within your first 3 months.
Note that the standard offer for this card is 35,000 SkyMiles and 5,000 MQMs after $1k in spend). The $195 fee is NOT waived the first year. When Rob and I took advantage of this offer last year, the offer was just 60,000 miles. This one is better!
THE OFFERS EXPIRES NOVEMBER 8,2017
Don’t forget, with the card, you earn 2 miles per $1 spent on Delta airline tickets and 1 mile for every dollar you spend on all your other purchases. There are no foreign transaction fees with the card. In addition, the basic card member and up to 8 people traveling on the same itinerary, may check their first bag for free on all Delta and Delta Connection flights
In addition, in any calendar year you spend $25,000 or more on the card, you will be awarded 10,000 bonus SkyMiles and 10,000 Medallion Qualification Miles. If in that same calendar year you spend $50,000 or more, you will be awarded an additional 10,000 bonus SkyMiles and 10,000 MQMs. Also, upon renewing your card, you get a Companion Certificate.
