manuel said:Amazed - i've got pooor credit nowadays and was also approved online with instant thing for $25k. Apparently they are always pretty generous.

Hopeful about earlier note - had a Delta card about 10 years ago; may not get bonus.


How poor is your credit?

last fako score I saw was 629 - been down around 608 recently. Noticed on PG that they pulled from experian - have fewer inquires there.

Probably silly but your post made me curious - hopefully will get miles.

Also wonder if they may have reallocated my CLs - i doubt it. I have a green cash with a 12KCL; and a blue cash with a 20K - plus a business. If it works out then I'd have 55K+ to reallocate with, could be real useful with the right offer.

The 2500 miles posted to my skymiles account yesterday.

I doubt they have a record of that promotional offer. I signed up for an AMEX Gold in May 2006 for 25,000 point promo. As of last week I had never received the promotional points. After being transfered from an AMEX CSR to a Gold Card CSR to a Reward CSR to a Promo CSR they supposedly had NO record of the promotional offer.

Did anyone get the 32,500 bonus mile offer for the gold card?

No. Please share details of this offer.


alert mods    

This came as a direct mailing from Delta for the gold card. Details include: no-fee first year, 15,000 miles for sign-up, 2,500 extra for AU, and 15,000 miles when you spend $5000 by 3/31/06 (10,000 bonus miles in addition to the 5,000 SkyMiles you earn for your card spending).

Since I received the sign-up 15K 2 gold cards ago, the deal isn't 32.5K for me, but was still good enough to earn my application

I already did this offer months ago, and added my husband as a second user. My husband applied for his promo and got his card along with mine...Now, can I add his card under my account to manage, or do I need to create a new account for him? If I add it to my account login, will they not grant the points?

Thanks!

Usually you have to be an authorized user to add another account. In this case, it sounds like your husband could open a login and then add your card, but you cannot add his card since you are not an AU. Alternatively he could add you as an AU. I don't believe this would affect the bonus mileage award. I plan to do the same thing.

Do you mean additional cardmember as AU? Or is that something different?
If I were to try and successfully add his card under my online account, that won't affect his getting the bonus points?

Is there a clause that you have to keep this card open X months or they can take back your miles, as is the case on the Chase United card??

I would like to close this ASAP and move on to more rewards cards. thanks


alert mods    

Doesn't seem to be any such clause - only mildly related notes in disclosures:

17,500 SkyMiles will be awarded to qualified American Express Cardmembers 8-12 weeks after the first charge on the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card. This offer is valid for first-time Delta SkyMiles cardmembers only. You may be permitted to have more than one Delta SkyMiles Credit Cards account; however you are eligible to receive welcome bonus miles for only one Card account. Additional cardmembers are not eligible.
2,500 bonus SkyMiles® will be awarded to your Delta SkyMiles account 8-12 weeks for an approved Additional Card submitted with this application.

I'm going to keep the card most the free year in hopes they come up with a 0% style offer - springs eternal you know.

You are free to close the account as soon as the points post.

Does any one know if I open one card for myself and one for my wife can I give AMEX one skymiles number for both application so I will have 35k miles on my account?

Yes

Business name = Your name


couldn't this be a potentially bad move? Any tax ramnifications of making up a Biz name? What about from AMEX?

Your miles may not post since card account name and miles account name don't match.

2500 miles can be obtained there
