Hello, Just got approved for Delta Amex while buying tickets for an upcoming trip next week. The offer is 50,000 bonus miles for $2000 spend in 3 months and a $50 statement credit if you make a Delta purchase on the card within the first 3 months (which I did when I booked tickets) I know some of the $2000 spend will count the air line tickets I just purchased but I am wondering about the particular wording on the offer.
It says make $2000 worth of purchases in 3 months excluding refilling gift cards, prepaids yada yada. It doesn't say if I put utility bill spend or say my car insurance bill of $2300 is coming up this month. Instead of breaking down the payments like I usually do and pay from auto pay from checking account. I could just throw the car insurance on new Amex and that would cover the spend needed and I will just PIF when statement cuts. Is that considered a purchase in their eyes? or does purchase mean merchandise. I read the offer and it just isn't that clear but then again this is my first bonus offer and those free miles will come in handy since I fly to see the doctor every other month.
Thank you for reading.
Thank you very much for the replies.
I will have my miles in no time by paying one bill I had to pay anyways.
