Delta Amex Offer: Spend $500 & Get $100 Back (up to 2 times)

There is a new Delta Amex Offer out that provides some decent savings. The version that I have gives you a $100 statement credit after $500+ in spend (in one or more purchases), AND you can do it twice for a total of $200 in possible credits.

There are usually multiple variations of these things, so let us know if you see a different one and which card you found it on. Mine is on my consumer Amex Platinum card.

• Earn a $100 statement credit after using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $500 in one or more purchases directly with Delta Air Lines.
• Limit of 2 statement credits (total of $200).
• May be limited to Amex Platinum cards only.

Quick Thoughts

Once upon a time, it was possible to buy Delta gift cards from a specific link in order to lock in the discount. Unfortunately, that’s no longer an option because all Delta gift card purchases online are processed by CashStar. Still, this is a good offer if you need to book any flights with Delta in the coming months.

It seems to be fairly targeted. I checked both my wife’s and my cards, and we only have one card targeted – my consumer Platinum.

If you are lucky enough to have this offer, it has one hoop to jump through that could make it slightly irritating: the flights must originate in the US. Many folks have been able to apply these to other flights by booking a main cabin flight that complies with the terms and then cancelling it after 24 hours to retain a Delta flight credit. If going this route, do note that the ensuing flight credit will only be valid for one year.
