Delta SkyMiles Reserve bonus miles

NRB525 · ‎12-15-2024

I had the SkyMiles Reserve card several years ago, closed it after getting Platinum. Looked at it again about a year ago, got the pop-up on application so passed on the application.

The release of the 747-themed version several months ago was exciting, so I applied again. No pop-up, so I proceeded. Got the SUB spend completed, then waited. And waited. Now, a few months longer than I would have liked, the 90,000 bonus miles are in my Delta account.

Glad you got your SUB! I had seen plenty of posts about the Delta miles taking forever to post. My spouse hit their spend for the Delta Gold last month and we had the miles in the account a week later. I was worried it would be similar to your experience and we had flights to book.
