Better Sign-Up Bonuses With AMEX Delta Cards
Through July 5, 2017, the Delta AMEX credit cards have increased sign-up bonuses. The highest public offers I’ve ever seen for these cards!
Although AMEX only allows folks to earn the sign-up bonus ONCE per person, per lifetime, on ALL their cards, these cards are considered different card products. So if you’ve had one, you can get the other!
Here are the details on these new offers.
AMEX Delta Gold Card

The AMEX Delta Gold card comes with 60,000 Delta miles after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first 4 months of account opening.
And you’ll earn a $50 statement credit when you make a Delta purchase in the first 4 months of opening your account. You’ll also get:
- 1 free checked bag for yourself and up to 8 traveling companions on the same reservation

- Pay With Miles (each point worth 1 cent)
- No foreign transaction fees
- Terms Apply
The card has a $195 annual fee, NOT waived the first year. Read my post on whether it’s worth paying the annual fee on this card.
Because you can redeem Delta miles for 1 cent each using Pay with Miles, these sign-up bonuses are worth at LEAST $600 to $700. But you can get lots more value from them if you book award flights instead!
And remember, you don’t have to use Delta miles to fly Delta! You can use your miles to book flights on SkyTeam Alliance partners like Air France, KLM, or China Airlines. Or other partners, like WestJet.

Bottom Line
If you haven’t opened the AMEX Delta cards in the past, now is a great time!
Through July 5, 2017, you’ll earn 60,000 Delta miles with the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express, and 70,000 Delta miles with the Platinum Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express after completing minimum spending requirements.
The sign-up bonuses are worth at least $600 or $700 when you book using Pay With Miles. And potentially much more if you book award flights on Delta, SkyTeam Alliance partners, or other partners like Alaska Airlines.
