Looked at my Amex Offers this morning and looks like the new credits for 2021 that Amex was vague about in a recent press release are now available to opt into.
Looks like $20 back for $20+ on dining each month on both Delta Reserve and Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, $15 back for $15+ on dining on SkyMiles Platinum, and $15 back for $15+ on wireless on SkyMiles Business Platinum. That's an extra $715 back this year for me!
Also have 7500 bonus points for $7500 spend on Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant up to 10x which basically makes it earn as much as it did before the Marriott-SPG merger was complete.
These are not automatic credits - be sure to add them in Amex Offers! Assuming all of the Hilton AF cards and Delta Gold SkyMiles card also have new credits.
Looks like I was scooped by DoC. 😂
And the lower AF Marriott card also has $10 monthly credit according to the comments.
For wireless:
(Although Delta Platinum I got $15 not $10 as did a commenter, so that is likely a DoC typo.)
Also looks like Hilton people are getting 10k points for each $5000 of spend up to 10x.
I just checked my Marriott Bonvoy Modern Art card (or whatever the conveyed SPG card is called) and it appears to have an offer for $10 back for $10+ on dining
Edit: K-in-Boston beat me to it!

I also got the $15 for Delta Platinum, so it's either the aforementioned typo or a YMMV situation.
Cool!
Confirming that SkyMiles Gold got $10/mo at any restaurant, including takeout, for the rest of 2021. That's unusually broad, compared to Amex's recent standards for these types of things. And trivially easy to use. Completely offsets the $99 AF for this year, even if one misses a month. I *think* enrollment was automatic. (Edit: That last bit is wrong. Enrollment is not automatic. Sorry.)
Well done, Amex!
I already added the $5 credit to my Amex Hilton Honors card (no annual fee version). I was pleased to see the offer when I checked my Amex offers this morning.
This deal is similar to but in some ways more flexible and in other ways less flexible than the $50 total of Shop Small credits American Express provided on all/most of their cards back in summer 2020.
$15 for Delta Plat as well. Can't confirm on the Hilton Surpass as I just checked off the final box on my current to-do list and picked it up last night. Not showing in my account yet.

Typo. In his first post, he clearly stated $15 for Delta Platinum. I also got $15 for Delta Platinum (and $20 for Bonvoy Brilliant).

Great news, thanks! Getting some extra value on my Aspire is helpful considering my favorite wine country Double Tree no longer counts as a resort, so probably won't be getting the resort $250 this year. Decent replacement with the dining credit. Now if the airline credit would work for United TravelBank again that would be sweet.

I believe all of fine print for these offers state a date at some point in December or January that a cardmember needed to have the card in order to be eligible so sadly I don't think your Surpass will be eligible.
