Delta Amex Offer: Spend $250 & get $50 back

Doctor of Credit reports that there is a new Delta Amex Offer out that gives you a $50 statement credit after $250+ in spend (in one or more purchases). Neither my wife nor I have it on any of our myriad business or personal cards.

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.

The Deal

There is at least one new Amex Offer that provides cash back on Delta purchases:

• Earn a $50 statement credit after using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $500 in one or more purchases directly with Delta Air Lines.

Key Terms

• Expires September 26, 2026.
• Offer valid for purchases made directly with Delta Air Lines through U.S. delta.com, via Fly Delta U.S. App, and U.S. reservation telephone line.
• Flights must originate in the U.S., including U.S. territories, in order to qualify.
• 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.
• Excludes the following: (i) purchases in-person at the airport where Delta is not the merchant of record, lounges, and sales offices, (ii) all purchases on-board flights including food, beverage, and WiFi, (iii) standalone hotel bookings and car rentals through delta.com, (iv) purchases through affiliated agents, (v) Delta Vacations®, Delta Dive, Delta Cargo, On Demand Charter services, Delta Flight Museum, SkyMiles® Marketplace purchases, SkyMiles Experiences™, SkyMiles Cruises, Delta Meeting Network, and (vi) travel insurance/trip protection, gift card purchases, and charitable donations.
• Valid only on purchases made in US dollars.

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 there’s nary an offer to be found.

If you are lucky enough to have it, there is 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 canceling it after 24 hours to retain a Delta flight credit. If you go this route, note that the resulting flight credit will only be valid for one year.
