Delta Amex Cards Bonus Offers: Earn Up To 70,000 SkyMiles

Delta and American Express are once again giving out bonus offers for credit card sign-ups.

For a limited time, you can earn up to 70,000 bonus SkyMiles after meeting certain spending requirements.

Let’s review each credit card offer and see what you can earn.

Bonus Offers

Delta SkyMiles Gold Amex Card

OFFER: Earn 50,000 bonus SkyMiles after making $2,000 in eligible purchases in the first 6 months.

This is the highest bonus offer you can get from the Delta Amex Gold. The $150 annual fee is also waived for the first year. This card is popular for passengers who fly Delta from time to time but not as much as a typical businessman.

Here are the cardholder perks and rates below:

• Earning rate of 2 miles per dollar at restaurants and supermarkets, 1 mile per dollar elsewhere
• Zone 5 boarding
• 1 free checked bag
• Save 15% when booking award travel through Delta
• Save 20% on inflight purchases
• $200 flight credit after spending $10K in a calendar year
• $100 statement credit after booking through Delta Stays

Delta SkyMiles Platinum Amex Card

OFFER: Earn 60,000 bonus SkyMiles after making $3,000 in eligible purchases in the first 6 months.

This card is popular among frequent Delta flyers, coming with many benefits and perks for cardholders. The annual fee is $350.

Here’s what the Delta Amex Platinum has to offer:

• Earning rate of 3 miles per dollar on Delta purchases and hotels, 2 miles per dollar at restaurants and supermarkets, 1 mile per dollar elsewhere
• Zone 5 boarding
• 1 checked bag free
• Save 15% when booking award travel through Delta
• Save 20% on inflight purchases
• Main Cabin companian certificate for domestic, Carribian, and Central American destinations every year after card renewal

• Global Entry and TSA PreCheck statement credits

Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex Card

OFFER: Earn 70,000 bonus SkyMiles after making $5,000 in eligible purchases in the first 6 months.

The Delta Amex Reserve is the most expensive card that’s offered, but it also comes with a ton of benefits and perks. The annual fee is $650, but you can get a lot back for it if you fly Delta a lot or are a Delta enthusiast.

Here’s a breakdown of the benefits of this card:

• Earning rate of 3 miles per dollar on Delta purchases, 1 mile per dollar elsewhere
• Zone 5 boarding
• 1 checked bag free
• Save 15% when booking award travel through Delta
• Save 20% on inflight purchases
• Delta Sky Club Access (15 visits a year after February 1, 2025)
• American Express Centurion Lounge Access (on a same-day Delta flight, must purchase flight with this card)
• Up to $560 a year on statement credits from Delta Stays, Rideshare, and Resy
• Global Entry and TSA PreCheck statement credits
• Complimentary upgrade list for non-Medallion members

Bottom Line

These bonus offers are great for giving yourself a boost in award travel. However, they aren’t necessarily the highest bonus offers I’ve seen (I’ve seen offers up to 110,000 bonus miles). If you don’t immediately need the card and the bonus offer, you might be better off waiting a bit. Either way, these cards provide many benefits that make flying a little more pleasant.
