Applying for Delta Gold while I already have Delta Blue

[Anonymous]

I've decided that I'd like to apply for the Delta Gold card because I want to accumulate the miles from the sign up bonus so I can get a free flight. I got the Delta Blue 4 months ago and recieved the sign up bonus for that card. When I look on the Amex site, it says I'm pre approved for the Delta Gold with the 30,000 mile SUB. 

I know this has probably been discussed before on here but I did a quick search and didn't find anything about having both cards and getting the SUB for both. Any insight? I don't want to bother with the Delta Gold if I won't actually get the SUB for it. I have 3 Amex cards total, the BCE, ED and Delta Blue.

You can get the sub for both......if it’s not available, Amex will disclose that info to you before your app is completed. Good luck!

I just tried to apply right now from my phone and the circle was spinning....and spinning....and spinning....and it never stopped. I closed the browser. Checked my email. Checked to make sure I was still preapproved. I'm gonna try again when I get home from my computer...must have been a poor connection.

Earlier this yr I got targeted for the Delta Gold 50K with 1K spend. Appd and Instantly Approved for mere $1K! Got SUB..

I got greedy and saw the Delta Plat is offering 70K with 3K spend. Decided to App and got approved for $6K! Got SUB too.

I don't see why yours would be different.. Do it, just don't cancel it after you get SUB.

I currently have 4 Amex Cards now Delta Gold and Plat, BCE and Plat by Ameriprise.

I did end up getting approved for Delta Gold. I clicked out of the page while the circle was just endlessly spinning and about 10 minutes later I got an approval email. So yay, haha. Had to jump on chat to find out the starting limit, but I assume I got the SUB also.

Congrats on getting approved but 30k is a very low bonus for this card.  You can't get a bonus a seocnd time for an Amex card so next time before you apply for any card make sure you are getting the highest bonus available.

Yeah I think I saw a higher bonus before, but for a higher spend right? I think the one I saw awhile ago was for 2k spend, and I don't think I could meet that so this bonus is ok with me.

There’s currently a public 50K + $100 credit if you do incognito mode. This is for 1K spend.

Always check in a private browser several times before applying for any Amex card.

The offers change all the time and so do the spend requirements to get said offers.

I always see the best offers late at night it seems

Congrats on your approvals, but they just raised the SUB on gold to 60K for 3K spend and the Delta platinum for 70K points for 3K as well. Like stated before Amex SUB are once in a lifetime and if at all possible you should try to wait for better offers. Then again waiting to apply can be a very HARD thing.

Oh man, there's definitely no way I'd be able to meet the 3k spend LOL. I don't make enough money to support that kind of spending unless I make payments of course, but I want to avoid paying interest. I think I recall seeing a larger spend requirement like 3k the last time that I applied for a card with Amex, when I was considering between the Delta Blue or Gold and ended up with Blue because of the lower SUB spend. I wish I'd found one of the higher SUBs for the 1k spend though.....oh well.

Any rhyme or reason to why the SUB might be different if you go incognito mode? Do you still have to be logged in to view the different SUB, but still in incognito mode browser or what?
