Delta gold Skymile - 70,000miles and 100 statement credit after 5000 in 6 months

Quote from steveww48 : Same result for me: Received card Friday, activated it, and purchased a Delta flight (first use of card) the same day. As of this morning, 25,000 miles have been posted to my Skymiles account and my AMEX account also shows the $100 credit for having made a purchase from Delta.

Great, so the $100 credit will be posted on credit card acct few days later, if the delta purchase is qualified.

For those, who purchased the museum item from delta.com, any credit show on your cc activities yet? I assume if this is qualified you should see it posted, if yes, do you get same amount that you spend or one time $100?

Thanks.

Quote from pianistat : Do you think a purchase from the Delta SkyStore would do the job for the $100 statement credit. If so, then $15 for this [deltaskystore.com] would do the trick...

Have you tried this yet? if yes, do you see any credit on your creditcard activities?
Some receive $100 credit after ticket purchase, I wonder have other than ticket purchase, do you get any credit from getting item from delta skystore.

Thanks,

Quote from jefflupo : emailed amex cs rep and he said ANY purchase counts for the $100 statement credit...... we will see i guess

Can you provide copy of email response? Thanks

Quote from renachai : I have excellent credit but just rcv'd card yesterday with only a $1000 credit limit? Originally I was planning to make two large purchases totaling $5000...but now with only a $1000 credit line it will be a real pain trying to charge exactly $1k a month for 5 months....at his point I'm thinking about taking my 25000 miles and closing the acct.

You don't need to wait for 5 months. Make purchases worth 1000, then payoff and you can do it with 5-6 big purchases within 1 statement period.

You can always call them and asked to increase the limit. If you have other amex card, you can ask to transfer the limit from one card to the other.

In my case, they did it automatically. They reduced the limit on my amex blue to $500 and put it to the amex delta card making the limit $10,000.

one rep told me that because i had delta card last year and already got bonus miles in feb 2011, i will not receive 25000 miles after first purchase, only 45000 miles after spend $5000 within 6 months. I closed the card in jan 2012.

but when i activated the card, another rep told me that i qualify for 25000 miles after first purchase as well.

confused...anybody got same response? thanks

Coupon code LSG11 gets you $2 shipping on any item from deltaskytore.com

That makes my european sky plug $5.60 with tax and shipping. I need it and we will see if it gets me $100 statement credit...

I got the same response at activation, but called the number at the back and was told I will be getting 70,000 miles.. Which I did after first purchase and have received my first 25000 miles after I first used my card last Friday, and see the miles posted on Monday. Hope this helps.. Just spend a small amount on the card and see you get the first 25000 miles..

I did purchase a small amount last friday.
on monday i did not receive the bonus, that's why i emailed the rep, and she emailed me back that i did not eligible.
after that I called the number from the back of the card and spoke to another rep, he told me that i am eligible.

Just wait few more days, and is your spending posted on your Amex activities as pending or already posted. There are some have not received the miles yet after spending, I am not sure how the system work, but hope you will get yours and may check today or tomorrow on your delta acct.

Don't contact Amex again till you get your statement cycle end and see you get the bonus miles. Don't want to alert the Amex about the qualification or note on your acct.

Will a delta Gift Certificate count for the $100 cash back? http://www.delta.com/help/contact...p#purchase
