Quick question, everyone! To get all the free 1st checked bags and other benefits, do I have to book flights through the Amex website? Or books directly through Delta.com only?

If you try to achieve delta's medallion status be aware the program changed for 2024 and the gold Amex card does not earn MQDs. You'll need the platinum and above to earn MQDs on your credit card purchases.

Have they reduced it to 60,000 because I'm not able to see 70,000 anywhere on different browsers.
I see 60k on chrome incognito, 70k on edge in private

40k normal chrome and edge

Either

And for all those asking..70,000 points can generally get you a $700 flight.

As for me, I'm not eligible for any of the card welcome bonuses because I've had the gold card.

AMEX has had me blacklisted for years. Anyone have any experience with getting approved after being placed on their unofficial "blacklist" out of curiosity?

The priority boarding and free checked luggage are tied to your SkyMiles number. If you're in an itinerary, the other passengers all get the same benefits.

To book with reduced points, you have to be logged in with your SkyMiles account on Delta.

I think I was blacklisted on MR but I have applied to other AMEX cards without an issue. Although its weird, one month I would get not approved fro the referral bonus and like 3 months later, same card I would be approved. (Pretty sure you are aware, AMEX will tell you before you submit if you will be approved/if you qualify for the sign up bonus)

I don't know where on the churning subreddit you checked, but every data point from the last 3 years says neither Chase nor Citi pull all 3. Capital One is the only major issuer that pulls all 3.

So, cant pay on Amazon with these points?
Not that I am aware of.

Regardless it would be a poor use anyways when you look at Chase UR and Amex MR points redemption values at Amazon.

Neither.

Once you have the card and it's linked to your skymiles account, you get the free bag regardless of where you book.

I book through a corporate portal on a corporate card and get the free bag because I'm a (private) cardholder.
