Anyone had this:
I'm a Delta Skymiles member. Keep getting emails saying special offer on their Amex.
Finally opened it. It asked for my member number and last name and says open for your
personalized offer. When I did it gives me deets on first year no fee, bonus miles, etc. It
also has a little clock counting down offer good so many more days.
So i I click apply and it asks all standard info and full social. When I click the ? Beside social
it says we just need this to verify identity.
So is this some kind of pre-approval?

I would be highly suspicious of "special offers" arriving via Email. Could very well be a phishing attempt.
See new sights by taking advantage of this great offer.

Miles will be credited to your account 6-8 weeks after you reach the spend threshold. Qualifying purchases can be made by the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on a single Card account. Purchases to meet the spend requirement do NOT include fees or interest charges, balance transfers, cash advances, purchases of traveler's checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, or purchases of any cash equivalents. Additional Card Members on your account are not eligible for this offer. To receive the 40,000 bonus miles, your Card account must be active, in good standing, and not in default at the time of fulfillment. You can earn 40,000 bonus miles after you spend $1,000 or more in qualifying purchases on your Card within your first 3 months of Card Membership starting from the date your account is approved. In rare instances, your period to spend $1,000 may be shorter than 3 months if there is a delay in receiving your Card. Also, purchases may fall outside of the 3 month period in some cases, such as a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction. (For example, if you buy goods online, the purchase date may be the date the goods are shipped). For questions regarding your Card account, please call the number on the back of your Card. American Express reserves the right to modify or revoke offer at any time. To receive this 40,000 bonus miles offer, you must log into www.deltaamexcard.com using the same SkyMiles® number located on the email or letter where you received the specific offer.

3. Bonus Miles Earned From The Card: For each dollar charged on an eligible purchase in each billing period on your Card from American Express, you earn 1 mile. You earn 1 additional mile (for a total of 2 miles) on each dollar of eligible purchases made directly with Delta ("Delta purchases"). Delta purchases are eligible purchases where Delta is the merchant of record, such as purchases via delta.com, phone reservations, or ticket counters, such as upgrades, miles, seat selection, Delta Sky Club™ membership or passes, and pre-purchased meals, and in-flight purchases of food, alcoholic beverages and audio headsets, movies, shows and video games accessed via Delta's seatback in-flight entertainment, on Delta-operated flights (eligible purchases do not include any other in-flight purchases, such as in-flight wireless internet access, shows, and movies accessed via a personal electronic device and associated services, and charitable contributions). Delta purchases include Delta Vacation® packages but not other all-inclusive packages. Delta purchases include purchases of qualifying Delta, Delta Connection® carrier and Delta Shuttle® flights taken with the purchase of a fare that is eligible for SkyMiles mileage credit. Additional miles earned for Delta flight purchases made with the Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express will be based on the total ticket price, including base fare, carrier-imposed surcharges and government-imposed taxes and fees. Eligible purchases mean purchases for goods and services minus returns and other credits. Eligible purchases do NOT include fees or interest charges, balance transfers, cash advances, purchases of travelers checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, or purchases of other cash equivalents. Bonus miles will be posted to your Delta SkyMiles account 8 to 12 weeks after the end of each month. To be eligible to receive miles, your Card account must be active and not in default at the time of fulfillment. This offer is subject to change without notice.
Miles Earned From Delta: Miles earned via flight activity through Delta's SkyMiles Program are posted to your account within 24 hours after the flight. For the miles awarded by Delta, the ticket price eligible for mileage accrual includes base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges, but excludes government-imposed taxes and fees. Flights marketed and ticketed by Delta's partner airlines will earn mileage based on a percentage of the distance flown as determined by the fare class paid. For information on Delta Airline Partners, visit delta.com/partnerairlines. General SkyMiles Members can earn 5 miles (for a total of 7 miles if paid for with your Card) per dollar spent on Delta flights. Silver Medallions can earn 7 miles (for a total of 9 miles if paid for with your Card) per dollar spent on Delta flights; Gold Medallions can earn 8 miles (for a total of 10 miles if paid for with your Card) per dollar spent on Delta flights; Platinum Medallions can earn 9 miles (for a total of 11 miles if paid for with your Card) per dollar spent on Delta flights; and Diamond Medallions can earn 11 miles (for a total of 13 miles if paid for with your Card) per dollar spent on Delta flights.

However, you may receive less value per mile if the cost of a ticket you choose to cover entirely with miles is not a multiple of $50. All Pay with Miles tickets will earn mileage, and will earn Medallion Qualification Dollars, for the portion of the base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges remaining that is paid in currency after miles are applied to the ticket total. Mileage redemption will be applied toward the base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges prior to being applied toward taxes and fees.

Oops, can someone help me delete Skymiles number lol? Not much on there anyway 😐
Go to "options" (to the right of where it says Amex Delta on that post you want to edit) then to "edit reply" and from there, you can edit as you like and "post"
In any case 40k+$50 is not a good enough offer unless you really need those miles urgently. I took the bait at 60k+$50 which is really what I would recommend waiting for, especially since these bonuses are once a lifetime. I could imagine settling for 50k+$50 though..

I got the same email. The email looks legit, but it's not a pre-approval or anything.
Delta seems to be ending the "special offer" (surely to be replaced by another, possibly even better, offer) and are just making an "it's ending soon, so make sure to get yours" last push.
If you fly Delta, I'm surprised you don't already have one. (I fly SW a lot, so as soon as I felt comfortable being approved, I applied). If you want one, look around, try the AMEX site directly (esp if you want to see if you're truly pre-approved), see if there are any better deals out there.
At least that's what I would do. It's what I did for my AAdvantage card. And when I apped for my SW card, there were a lot of different offers, so I looked around to ensure I was getting the best deal I could find.
