How to Find the Offer

To get this offer, you need to go to the Delta website and go through the steps of booking a flight. At the final page, “Trip Summary”, you should see the offer under your itinerary. A dummy booking is sufficient, meaning that you don’t have to actually book a flight.

Guru’s Wrap-up

If you get this welcome bonus to show up while booking a Delta flight, it is definitely worth going for, if you are eligible. This is a big bonus and the annual fee is waived the first year. And it’s vastly superior to the current public offer.

However, it could also be worth checking referrals from friends and family members, as they can earn a big referral bonus of up to 45,000 points, on top of the welcome offer that you get.
