Delta 35K miles offer

CS800 — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:20:06 GMT

Very tempting this email offer. That's after spending $750 in 3 months. I'm resisting the urge since I already have 2 AMEX charge and 1 revolver

I would suggest you call them and check on the status of your app.

I'm too impatient to wait.

I took that same offer back in June. Are you a current Delta SkyMiles member?

I would definitely pass on that. There are targetted offers for Delta AmEx cards with 72.5k bonuses.

Offers like that seem to come with very high spend requirements. Found this quote from another forum for the 72.5K bonus:

"The Delta terms are 25k after first spend, 50k after 10k spend in 6 months...."

You may be able to cash in on this bonus as well:

I was able to get even more than the 35K with this offer. I just became a member when I got my AmEx...not sure if it applies to established members

My DH just got his Delta last week with the 30k spend $500 offer. The same day his card arrived he got the email from Delta asking him to register for 40k mikes that lhcole77 referenced. Obviously, he registered.

I thought it was closer to $2k minimum spend. I think I still have the offer lying around somewhere.

I googled it most likely it's targetted.

I cannot rave enough about the Delta Amex Gold card! I got the 30k bonus after $500 spend. I love this card! I love Amex!

The sky priority boarding and checked bag service was bomb on my recent NYC trip too!

Re: Delta 35K miles offer

I too very much enjoy priority boarding, as well as on flight food discount with my Amex delta good card

I seem to get the 35k offer a few times a year from delta so I don't think there should be a big hurry, I'm sure you can get the same offer later.

Do you have to book the trip with the Delta AMEX to get these privileges?

I didn't see much difference between the gold and the platinum apart from the phrase 'reaching medallion status faster'

Just FYI the amex cards don't get sky priority (unless you're flying F/B), Just Zone 1. It's a common misconception but Zone 1 is actually the 3rd zone to board.
