Delta and American Express have credit cards. We saw some fantastic limited time welcome offers on these cards a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to recap them as the clock is running out.

Delta SkyMiles is not my favorite mileage currency, but I appreciate that the miles in the program have a value based on how you redeem them. It could make these bonuses pretty rewarding if they could get you a lot of travel.

How many Delta Amex cards are you eligible for?

You can get the bonus on each Delta American Express card once. You could get both the business and personal version of the Gold, Platinum, and Reserve over time, which opens up lots of opportunities. Most of the people should be eligible for the bonuses on some of the cards.

Amex's standard card application rules apply.

Over time you’re eligible for the bonuses on all of these cards

Which Delta Amex offer is best?

Which Delta Amex offer is best depends on what you are looking for and what your travel profile is like. As far as my general advice goes.

  • If you’re just a casual Delta flyer, it’s hard to go wrong with the big bonuses and waived first year fees on the Delta Gold cards
  • For those who fly Delta a bit more often, the Delta Platinum cards are great, given the annual companion certificate
  • For the frequent Delta flyer who is going for status, the Delta Reserve cards are the best cards for earning status, and also offer the most compelling perks
  • If you’re deciding between a personal and business card (and don’t want both), then I’d generally recommend a business card, given that the welcome offers are a bit better

SkyMiles can be redeemed for at least one cent each toward the cost of a Delta ticket. If you accumulate 100,000 SkyMiles, you will get a minimum of $700-1,100 worth of airfare.

Get lots of value using Delta’s “Pay With Miles” feature

Delta Amex cards are offering increased bonuses that are among the best we have seen. You can earn up to 100,000 SkyMiles, which will get you a minimum of $700-1,100 worth of airfare on Delta, using the Pay With Miles feature.

I recommend picking up a Delta Amex with this promotion. If you are cashing out miles at one cent each, that is a lot of value.
