Buried inside the Delta news that came out of CES this year, like free Wi-fi for all SkyMiles members, was a blurb about the Delta / Amex credit cards.
Here’s what they say:
Delta SkyMiles Members can unlock curated American Express Card offers as part of Delta Sync. Stay tuned for more details about upcoming offers coming online later this spring.
Amex aficionados are well aware of the Resy offers that American Express has offered on the Platinum Card® by American Express and the American Express® Gold card ever since they acquired the reservations app Resy.
There have been better offers in the past, but the offers on Resy always beat the publicly offered and affiliate offers, and sometimes even beat the incognito refer-a-frend offers.
For example, on the Gold Card right now, where the public offer is 60,000 points when you spend $4,000 in 3 months, the Resy offer is 75,000 points PLUS 20% back on restaurant purchases up to $250 for 12 months – so a $250 kicker. (There are also some 90,000 refer a friend offers out there but without the $250 credit.)
Something tells me that these in-flight offers will be something to keep an eye on and that they will be better than all or most other offers.
Keeping in mind that you can only get each Delta card bonus once per lifetime (or, in practice, 7 years from when you last had the card), it might be worth waiting to see what these offers bring if you are thinking about one of the Delta Amex cards.
