The Offer

• American Express is offering a sign up bonus of 50,000 miles after $2,000 in spend within the first three months. You also get a $400 statement credit after your first Delta purchase within three months of account opening

The Fine Print

• Bonus miles will be issued after you make $2,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months.
• Offer Expires 7/28/2021.

  • 2x miles per $1 spent on restaurants (including takeout and delivery), groceries and Delta purchases
  • 1x miles per $1 spent on all other purchases
• $100 Delta Flight Credit when you spend $10,000 in purchases on your Card in a calendar year

Our Verdict

There was a 70k + $400 offer last year. That offer didn’t show for many people, the other offer that we frequently see is 90k miles or 70k + $200. The offer you prefer will depend on how highly you value Delta miles. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
