(EXPIRED) Delta Air Lines: Get $90 back on $300 spend with Amex Offer (targeted)

There is a very good, targeted Delta Amex Offer out that gives $90 back on $300+ in spend with Delta Air Lines. This offer is specifically targeted to business cards and is only good for purchases that are made in US dollars AND for flights that originate in the US (although I’m sure enterprising folks can figure out a way to turn this into Delta credit and apply it to a flight that originates elsewhere).

I’m not sure how highly-targeted this offer is, but my wife and I only had it on 1 out of 18 cards (my wife’s Business Gold).

The Deal

• Spend $300 in one or more transactions with Delta and get $90 back with a targeted Amex Offer.
• Purchase must be in USD and flights must originate in the US

Key Terms

• Expires April 30th, 2024.
• Offer valid for eligible flight purchases made directly with Delta Air Lines through U.S. website delta.com, via Fly Delta U.S. App and U.S. reservation telephone line.

• Offer valid only for purchases where Delta Air Lines is the merchant of record, such as airfare, fare upgrades, seat selection fees, baggage fees, standby fees, and Delta Sky Club® memberships.

Quick Thoughts

Most Delta Amex Offers have been offering various permutations that worked out to 20-25% back on spend ($60 on $300, $120 on $600, etc). This is obviously a better offer, because it gives you a maximum return of 30% if you spend exactly $300. That’s pretty good, particularly with it being valid on one or more transactions.

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. That said, many folks have been able to effectively 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.
