There’s another round of targeted welcome offers out for the American Express Delta SkyMiles credit cards, which don’t have Amex’s standard “once in a lifetime” language. Because of this, the offers produced should be obtainable for folks who have had the cards before or who have them now.
In addition to having no lifetime language, these links are also showing amounts that are higher than some of the current public offers, including 110k and 125k SkyMiles for the Delta Business Platinum and Business Reserve, respectively.
I believe that these offers are targeted and appear to be based on receiving a specific communication via snail mail or e-mail. That said, there’s a link that was shared by Danny the Deal Guru that appears to work for anyone (let me know in the comments if anyone has an issue accessing the offers with it).
The Deal
- There is a link that produces current welcome offers for American Express Delta Sky Miles cards, but without the normal “once-in-a-lifetime” language and with elevated point totals:
- Delta Gold: 85k SkyMiles after $4k spend in six months
- Delta Platinum: 100k SkyMiles after $5k spend in six months
- Delta Reserve: 100k SkyMiles after $6k spend in six months
- Delta Business Gold: 90k SkyMiles after $4k spend in six months
- Delta Business Platinum: 110k SkyMiles after $6k spend in six months
- Delta Business Reserve: 125k SkyMiles after $10k spend in six months

Quick Thoughts
Most Amex welcome offers come with the following “lifetime rule” restriction:
Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card.
Because of this, if you’ve ever had a given card before, you are usually prohibited from earning a welcome offer for that same card. (although Amex is known to “forget” that you’ve had a card after about 5-7 years). In addition, Amex has expanded “family” language limits to the Platinum, Gold, and Delta cards (among others). The offers available through this link have no lifetime language (NLL), so they aren’t bound by these restrictions.
In addition, some of these NLL offers have bonuses that are between 5k-15k higher than the current, publicly available versions and are very good in their own right, without even considering the lack of lifetime language.
The link that DDG shared was a little finicky for me in my primary Chrome profile (as are a lot of Amex links these days). If you have problems, try opening it using a fresh browser or browser instance.

They had a (very similar) offer around the same time last year, also for 90k miles. Since my Delta business gold amex is about to expire, I’m glad I was able to snag another one. Same for my P2!
I was in pop up jail for about a year. I applied for the delta business gold card and got approved! Thank you!
Got a Delta Gold Biz a few months ago (still open); applied for the exact same card today and approved instantly. Didn’t know this was possible, but I have both showing up in my account which is a bit weird. Hopefully the bonus attaches. Thanks!
Does this mean you could get Delta status with Multiple of the same cards?
You only get the MQD boost once for each card. You can get one each for a Delta Platinum, Delta biz Platinum, Delta Reserve, and Delta biz Reserve.
Makes sense! Thanks!
Got approved for the delta platinum card using the link. This link also helped me get out pop out jail which I have been in for the past 2 years, due to high velocity lol….thanks FM family.
