(EXPIRED) (Update: Statement Credit Received) Delta Amex Offer: Spend $300 & Get $120 Back

Update 10/19/20: The $120 statement credit from this Delta Amex Offer has now posted to my account.

Update 10/15/20: I decided to bite the bullet and become the data point I’d like to see in the world by buying a $300 Delta gift card with this Amex Offer. I did this just now and immediately received an email from American Express confirming I’d used the offer, so that means the $120 statement credit should follow.

• Spend $300+ with Delta in one or more transactions & get $120 back with an Amex Offer.

Tips & Ideas

Note that this Delta Amex Offer has an exclusion for gift card purchases. However, with past Amex Offers for Delta there’s been the same exclusion, but buying a Delta gift card has still worked to trigger the statement credit from the Amex Offer. There’s no guarantee that’ll still work though, so hopefully we’ll start to get some data points soon.

My wife and I had this offer on all our Membership Rewards-earning cards but no others, although your experience might be different. The best card to add this offer to will be a personal Amex Platinum as that offers 5x Membership Rewards when spending directly with airlines.

This is a fantastic offer though because $120 back on $300 of spend is a 40% discount. That’ll make this profitable for reselling, although the resale rates will no doubt drop a little as the market will get flooded with Delta gift cards if this offer is widely targeted.

Be sure to save this offer to your card(s) ASAP in case there’s a limit as to how many people can use the offer.
