Amex has recently increased the welcome offer for several of the co-branded Delta SkyMiles.

Here is the list of the current offers:

• Delta SkyMiles® Gold: 80,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $3,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership. (The previous offer was 65,000)
• Delta SkyMiles® Platinum: 90,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $4,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership. (The previous offer was 85,000)
• Delta SkyMiles® Reserve: 100,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $6,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership. (The previous offer was 95,000)

These cards have annual fees:

• Delta SkyMiles® Gold: $0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $150. See Rates and Fees
• Delta SkyMiles® Platinum: $350. See Rates and Fees
• Delta SkyMiles® Reserve: $650. See Rates and Fees

Our personal opinions about this offer:

• If Delta is your main airline, then there are several perks with these cards that are worth noting: The main one being 15% off when using miles to book Award Travel on Delta flights through delta.com and the Fly Delta app. The other worthwhile perk is the free first-checked-bag perk.

There are a few things to point out about this deal:

• Historically, this current offer matches the previous high (February-2024). The most recent offer (June-2024) was inferior to this one, about -5000 points less for the Platinum and Reserve, and -15,000 less for the Gold.

• You can check your application status online via this link.

• Amex will likely deny your application if you have more than 5 or more Amex cards, or 10 or more cards total.

• This welcome offer isn’t available if you have received a welcome bonus for any other Marriott card within the past 24-months.

• If you get denied and you have good credit, call their reconsideration hotline: 877-399-3083 (if you are a new account holder) Calling may not change the outcome, but there is a chance it will. You’ll also be able to get better insight in why your application was denied.
