A few weeks ago there was a targeted Delta Amex Offer that showed up on some people’s cards. Something strange subsequently happened whereby Amex changed the expiry date from December 31 to October 14 – the day the offer first appeared.
As a result, we didn’t publish about the offer at the time because it disappeared from people’s cards, but it subsequently reappeared and so we wanted to highlight that so you don’t miss out if you were targeted.
The Deal

Quick Thoughts
Seeing as this offer has been around for a few weeks (other than a 1-2 day period where it disappeared), there’s a good chance you’ve already come across it if you were targeted.
It’s the most generous Delta Amex Offer that I can remember seeing because it gives you a return of 41.67% when spending exactly $300. That’s a fantastic offer, particularly with it being valid on one or more transactions.
If you don’t need to book any Delta flights before the end of the year but want to lock in the value, you can buy Delta gift cards to take advantage of the offer. You have to ensure you do that in the right way though because doing it the wrong way will mean you won’t get the $125 statement credit.
There are three different places that Delta sells gift cards – one directly on their website and two separate CashStar pages. You need to buy directly from Delta rather than CashStar, so this is the page you need to buy them from.
For some reason payments seem to be processed differently depending on if you buy on desktop or mobile, so it’s best to buy on desktop as mobile purchases might not trigger the statement credit.
Both my wife and I were lucky enough to be targeted for this offer when it came out on October 14. We both bought a $300 Delta eGift card using the method described above and both received our $125 statement credits a few days later.
