Along with the healthy, new Delta Business card offers that we posted earlier today, Amex has also increased the welcome offers on the suite of Delta personal cards. As per usual, the consumer cards each give you 10K SkyMiles less than the respective business cards, but also with half the minimum spend.
Like the business card versions, these have an expiry date of 7/16/25 and are probably better-suited for those who are not chasing Delta status and are more interested in redeemable miles.

Quick Thoughts
Delta SkyMiles aren’t the most valuable rewards currency on the market, but they are typically worth at least 1 cent each toward Delta flights, which means that these offers can be valued at ~$900-$1100+ in air travel. While any one of these offers probably won’t get you an international business class flight, that’s no small potatoes for those who do fly Delta often. And the cards’ 15% discount on awards will make the miles go even farther.
Regardless of the miles earned, if you’re interested in elite status, the Platinum and Reserve cards can be a great choice thanks to their $2,500 MQD Headstarts. See our post “Shortcuts to Delta Elite status” for complete details.
Note a significant limitation to SkyClub access for the Delta Reserve card: cardholders are limited to 15 Sky Club “visit-days” per year, unless they spend $75K on the card within a calendar year.
I don’t think that I’d rather take one of these over a big transferable currency offer (like 90K on the Chase Ink Business Preferred, 200K on the Amex Business Gold card or 250K on the Amex Business Platinum card), but these offers certainly aren’t bad compared to the required spend.

I did get a dummy booking offer of 50K + $500 credit for the personal gold. (seen 6/6/25).
What are the normal bonuses for platinum and reserve? It seems like the platinum is the best value at 90k vs reserve’s 100k. Does it make sense to get the platinum now and hold out for a better reserve bonus in a couple years?
Are these NLL?
Well, were you to click through on the links provided in this FM post, you would find at the top of OFFER TERMS
On the other hand, in the offer that showed up via email today to P2, I could see no such language prior to what were otherwise the same offer terms although were one to click through further, perhaps they would materialize somewhere; this exercise is left to the reader, as the answer is immaterial to the main points, which are:
High rates of incarceration are an issue with both America and American Express. Fortunately, there is no evidence of racial disparities in how Amex decides to put people into Pop-Up Jail.
