Yesterday, I wrote about a new feature on all of the Delta Amex credit cards, except the no fee Blue card, wherein holding the card entitles you to a 15% discount on award travel on Delta operated flights. (It also says “or more” but as of now it’s fixed at 15% on all cards and at all times).

There are also new Welcome Offers to go along with this new feature launch.
Remember, you can only get one Welcome Bonus per Amex card, per lifetime (or 7 years since you last had the card, in practice).
They are as follows:

You can definitely get value out of the new 15% off on award tickets feature, although I’m a bit surprised you don’t get a bigger discount on the higher annual fee cards.
