Elevated Delta Amex offers are back!

Same as last October/November...

 

Gold - Earn 50,000 SkyMiles after spending $2,000 in the first 3 months. Earn an additional 10,000 SkyMiles after spending an additional $1,000 in the first 6 months. Earn a $50 statement credit after making a Delta purchase in the first 3 months.

Platinum - Earn 70,000 SkyMiles after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months. Earn a $100 statement credit after making a Delta purchase in the furst 3 months.

Offers are good until 4/11.

Strangely, I am unable to get to my referral link, so I can't see if the referral offer has been changed to match or maybe they shut off referrals.

Weird, I can’t get my referral link either (keeps defaulting to SPG).

Re: Elevated Delta Amex offers are back!

In the actual Refer A Friend link in the footer of Amex's site, I only see Platinum, PRG, and SPG. However, if I look above Amex Offers on my Delta's page in my account, the link is there and works fine and is good through May:

Re: Elevated Delta Amex offers are back!

Reached the minimum spend right around Thanksgiving (for 3k/70,000 miles), plus I purchased (2) $50 gift cards from Delta. 

 

What have I seen so far? (March 2) still no 70,000 bonus miles, and no $100 statement credit. I asked AMEX about this many times since late November, and they kept telling me to wait because "it takes 6-8 weeks for the bonus to post." Yeah, right, because AMEX always takes that long to post bonuses? The reps don't really know much apparently. 

 

Finally after eight weeks, I complained about, and they had to open an "investigation," which would take another "6-8 weeks to complete, but is often completed sooner." So far it's been five weeks and I haven't seen any conclusion to such a simple investigation yet. 

 

Personally I don't believe AMEX wants to pay me the 70,000 miles or the $100 bonus. For those who are pursuing the bonus this time around, watch your accounts closely and be prepared to be aggressive when AMEX doesn't pay up.

I never had any problems w/ Amex posting SUBs and I have had plenty, 2 plats, PRG,  BRG, SPG and EDP.  All posted very quickly right after min spend was met.

Re: Elevated Delta Amex offers are back!

I had a problem getting my bonus and statement credit on the Delta Gold Card when I applied for it last May. I qualified in July, and I didn’t get it until November. The first two times I called they just told me I had to wait 6-8 weeks. Then when I called in and said 6-8 weeks was a long time ago they realized there was a problem and did an investigation. So I got my points and no statement credit. I called again, and the customer service rep challenged me about whether I made Delta purchases, including with a sarcastic tone and everything (until I pointed to the specific dates). At that point I was told there would be another investigation. A couple weeks letter a statement credit shows up in my account saying “Amex Error” and it’s for $100.68 or something like that. Amex sent a letter a month later saying that they’d erroneously disqualified me for the sign up bonus and that they would be issuing a statement credit to me.

If you mean the offer itself you can go to the AMEX website as well to get it.
