The referral screenshot is from my Amex account (no link; referrals are not permitted on myFICO). But as others have stated, that offer is available to the general public although I believe it ends in April.
Thank you! Much appreciated.
An elevated offer pops up on the Delta site when I go through the steps to book a flight. However, the offer there is for 50K miles and a $150 statement credit. (I don't believe the 10K additional miles for additional spend is available in this offer.) I guess it depends on whether you'd prefer a larger statement credit or a larger miles bonus.

No, I'm saying if I go through the process to purchase a ticket a different offer comes up on the trip summary screen for 50K miles and a $150 statement credit.
ETA: And I looked at the Offer Terms for this offer and didn't see any language about an additional 10K miles for additional spend.
Ah I see my apologies. Well that's strange. Very strange as the current offer is posted everywhere else. Hmm. Weird that you're targeted differently when purchasing a ticket. But great DP thanks for the share!

I agree it's strange - maybe they're appealing to those who want the more immediate gratification of a $150 statement credit? It kind of makes sense they would target those kinds of offers toward someone who is in the process of booking a ticket.
Quite possible. Offer you see 50,000 for $2,000 spend 3 months + $150 STATEMENT credit.
Current offer expires 4/11 for 50,000 for $2,000 spend 3 months + $50 STATEMENT credit with optional 10,000 miles for addtl $1,000 spend over 6 months. Hmmmm. Marketing does love instant gratification seekers.....
I check flight prices multiple times a week (
) and before these elevated offers came out, the offers I'd see would be for 20K SkyMiles with a $200 statement credit. So if statement credits are your jam apping for the Delta Gold on delta.com going through the steps to book a flight is definitely the way to go.
Sometimes the offer when booking a ticket will have a lower point bonus with a higher cash back bonus. They figure you’re already buying a plane ticket so you’re probably more likely to take a discount now than points that would be useful later.
