New Welcome Bonuses and Card Improvements Across the Delta Amex Lineup (Plus Two Bonvoy Offers)

American Express updated the welcome bonuses on five Delta SkyMiles cards, personal and business, in June 2026 and added a couple of card improvements. That round of limited-time offers ended July 15, 2026. The Gold Business and Platinum Business offers below have since returned on identical terms through November 4, 2026; the other July offers have expired. I also covered two Bonvoy offers at the time.

Here’s what changed.

Delta Amex Welcome Bonuses (June 2026 Limited-Time Offers)

Personal Cards

Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card

This offer has now expired. See the current offer: Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card.

Earn 70,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $3,000 or more in purchases with your new Card within the first 6 months of Card Membership and an additional 20,000 bonus miles after you make an additional $2,000 in purchases on the Card within your first 6 months, starting from the date that your account is opened. Offer Ends 07/15/2026. Terms apply.

That’s 90,000 miles total for $5,000 in spend over six months — a strong offer for an entry-level Delta card with a modest annual fee.

Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card

This offer has now expired. See the current offer: Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card.

Earn 80,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $4,000 or more in purchases with your new Card within the first 6 months of Card Membership and an additional 20,000 bonus miles after you make an additional $2,000 in purchases on the Card within your first 6 months, starting from the date that your account is opened. Offer Ends 07/15/2026. Terms apply.

100,000 miles total for $6,000 in spend. The Platinum is the sweet spot in the Delta lineup for most travelers — you get a companion certificate, Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit, and a solid path toward Medallion status.

Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card

This offer has now expired. See the current offer: Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card.

Earn 100,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $6,000 or more in purchases with your new Card within the first 6 months of Card Membership and an additional 25,000 bonus miles after you make an additional $3,000 in purchases on the Card within your first 6 months, starting from the date that your account is opened. Offer Ends 07/15/2026. Terms apply.

125,000 miles total for $9,000 in spend. That was a high spend requirement for this premium Delta card, which includes Delta Sky Club access. For someone who had already planned to apply, the July offer was strong.

Business Cards

Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card

Earn 90,000 Bonus Miles after spending $6,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. The July 15, 2026 launch window ended, but this identical offer is currently available through November 4, 2026. Terms apply.

A clean, straightforward offer. 90,000 miles for $6,000 in business spend.

Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Business American Express Card

Earn 100,000 Bonus Miles after spending $8,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. The July 15, 2026 launch window ended, but this identical offer is currently available through November 4, 2026. Terms apply.

100,000 miles for $8,000 in spend. A strong offer for business owners who fly Delta regularly.

Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card

This offer has now expired. See the current offer: Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card.

Earn 125,000 Bonus Miles after spending $15,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. Offer ends 7/15/26. Terms apply.

125,000 miles for $15,000 in spend — a high bar, but this is the top-tier business Delta card. If you have the spend to hit it, 125,000 SkyMiles is a serious haul.

Two New Benefits Hitting All Six Delta Amex Cards

Beyond the welcome bonuses, Delta and Amex also announced two benefit upgrades worth knowing about.

Second Checked Bag Free on Domestic Flights (All Six Cards)

All six Delta Amex cards now include a free second checked bag on domestic flights for the primary cardmember. The first checked bag has always been free on Delta flights worldwide for you and up to eight travelers on the same reservation — that hasn’t changed. The new addition is the domestic second bag, which applies to cardmembers only (not authorized users).

$120 Annual Rideshare Credit (Gold and Gold Business Only)

This one is specific to the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card and the Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card.

After card renewal, enrolled cardmembers get a new $120 annual rideshare credit — up to $10 per month in statement credits on eligible U.S. rideshare purchases with select providers. A nice add for a card at this price point.

Marriott Bonvoy Offers

Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card

This offer has now expired. See the current offer: Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card.

Earn 125,000 Bonus Points after spending $3,000 on eligible purchases + 1 Free Night Award within 3 months of account opening with the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card. Redeem your Free Night Award for a one-night stay at properties with a redemption level up to 50,000 points per night. Certain hotels have resort fees.

Special Offer through 6/30/2027: Get up to $100 in statement credits after spending $500 on eligible airline purchases. That’s up to $50 in statement credits semi-annually.

125,000 Bonvoy points plus a free night award at up to 50,000 points (top up with up to 25,000 more points) can get you into some nice properties. The airline credit sweetens the deal further. Still, the previous offer was better in my opinion!

Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card

This offer has now expired. See the current offer: Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card.

Earn 60,000 Bonus Points after spending $1,000 on eligible purchases within 3 months of account opening with the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card!

The Bold is Marriott’s no-annual-fee card, and 60,000 points for $1,000 in spend is a low bar to clear. Not the most premium offer on the list, but hard to argue with the entry point.

Bottom Line

The Delta offers marked expired above ended July 15, 2026. The Gold Business and Platinum Business offers have returned on identical terms through November 4, 2026, and the Marriott Bonvoy offers quoted above have changed since this was published.

The Reserve cards pay for themselves if you use the Companion Certs that now work to the Caribbean and Mexico in First or spend your way to status; otherwise the lesser cards are better.

Terms apply to all offers. See card review pages for full details.
