We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    If you’re a Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express cardholder, check your AMEX account!

    Via Points With a Crew, American Express is offering bonuses to targeted AMEX Delta Gold cardholders for adding authorized users to their accounts.  And you could earn up to 10,000 bonus Delta miles after your new authorized users meet a minimum spending requirement!

    To earn the bonus miles, you must add any additional cardholders by October 20, 2017.

    You Could Earn You Bonus Delta Miles by Adding a Friend or Loved One as an Authorized User on Your AMEX Delta Card!

    I’ll explain the details of this offer.  And what you should consider before adding authorized users to your AMEX Delta cards!

    AMEX Delta Cards Offering Authorized User Bonus

    Check your email to see if you’ve been targeted or log-in to your AMEX account to register for this deal from the AMEX Delta Gold card!

    Folks with the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express card could earn:

    But don’t forget, American Express requires the Social Security Number of any authorized user you add within 60 days of opening their card.

    If you have other AMEX Delta cards, it’s worth checking for targeted offers on those, too.

    Considerations to Take When Adding Authorized Users

    Be careful when adding an additional cardholder to your account.  Because you’ll be fully responsible for any charges they make, so be sure to only add folks you completely trust.

    That said, your authorized user could potentially get a credit score boost if your credit is good.  Plus, being an authorized user doesn’t prevent you from earning the card’s sign-up bonus in the future.

    Credit History Makes Up 15% Of Your Score. And You Can Share Your Good Record With a Family Member Who’s Just Getting Started by Adding Them as an Authorized User!

    Just remember, authorized user accounts WILL count toward Chase’s “5/24 rule.”  So if the authorized user has opened ~5 or more credit cards (from any bank) in the past 24 months (excluding certain business cards), they’re unlikely to get approved for most Chase cards.

    So you’ll have to consider whether your authorized users will apply for Chase cards in the future.  Especially if they’re new to miles and points!

    And don’t forget about a similar deal on the AMEX Hilton cards. 😉

    Bottom Line
