AMEX Delta

s_rob7488 — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:58:04 GMT

Hey all, thinking of taking a trip to London in late april early may and figured I could utilize the delta card for miles etc. The catch would be that I previously paid for airfare through delta last may but due to last minute medical reasons wasnt able to take the trip thus I have about $1300 worth of tickets to use. Flying to london would be say $1800-$2000 but maybe the additional $500-$700 could be made up with the sign up bonus from delta. I currently have a BCE and PRG amex, not sure if I can still get delta (I think I know the answer since its not a "true" amex?) but wanted to check. Question: Can I have all 3 amex's? (BCE PRG Delta?) and is the $150 AF really worth it for the Platinum card? We dont really travel much so Im thinking no but thought I'd get 2 cents just to be safe.

Amex Delta Gold and Plat are "True" "Real" American Express Cards...

So I would have to cancel a bce/prg and try to apply for delta? I highly doubt they would give me 3 of their cards then...lol I just found a link that may have just started that has a signup bonus of 70,000 miles which would reallllly help compared to the 30,000 listed on delta website. 70,000 offer give $100 statement credit and 30,000 gives $50.

The bad thing if they denied would cost a SOFT PULL.

Good thing one HArd Pull if approved.

There no loss . Why wait ???

There no warranty but they would get you where you want after 61 days.

Haha! I'm actually not tempted at all, thankfully. I currently have over $50,000 in credit limits with a 3% utilization. I'm going to sit back and let everything grow!! I like seeing great offers, though!

Which is exactly why I would have loved the 70k offer!

The 70k link is not working any more. 70k Skymiles are worth about $700 unless you're traveling abroad and can use Skymiles to book flights with Skyteam partners.

Skymiles are the lowest-valued frequently flier miles.

OP, there's no rule stating that you can only get 2 Amex cards. I think the general limit is 4 cards though.

Re: AMEX Delta

s_rob7488 — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:32:27 GMT

So only other question would be what if the CL on Amex delta isn't what I like can I close BCE and transfer the CL?

limit is 5 Amex revolvers. like BCP, Hiltons, Starwood, Delta, Jetblue etc you can have all these cards at once.

then if you really wanted you could have 5 charge cards if you wanted zync, green, gold, platinum, black
