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.

Yeah the gold card was left in the dust insofar as any real perks. you do get bonus miles on certain purchases and the free bag but that's it.

Unsure why ..I haven't cancelled any CC in 3 years. Good score!

We're sorry, Kris. We can't approve your application at this time.
There has been no impact to your credit score.

You'll receive a letter within the next 10 business days explaining why we were unable to approve your application. We thank you for your interest in American Express

So if I had an Amex gold SUB, then I'm not eligible for this?

Have they reduced it to 60,000 because I'm not able to see 70,000 anywhere on different browsers.

I see 60,000 as well.

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.
Thank you hug

Lifetime = once only

A lot of data points online actually suggest that "lifetime" for Amex is 7 years. Also on occasion (not this promo) they do no lifetime language offers with reduced bonuses.

I was able to apply yesterday from incognito and got 70k bonus miles. I also have this on my account that I referred my friend who was able to get the same bonus.

There is an additional 10k bonus if you apply using a friend's referral.

The Amex Delta cards are having their annual fees increase, effective immediately, along with "better" perks. Buyer beware!

While Amex does use "lifetime" language in limiting sign up bonuses, they sometimes have offers which do not include this language, for a specific application period for specific cards.

As well, there are data points which show that a "lifetime" is approximately 7 years, so you can get bonuses again at some point, as long as you've maintained a decent relationship with Amex.

Fortunately Amex shows a pop-up (aka pop-up jail) when you go to submit an application, which will warn you if you do not qualify for the SUB.

With the 15% discount on award redemptions you get by having this card, and SkyMiles generally valued at 1.2cpp, the value of this offer is ~$966 in flights. If you are patient and wait for a special redemption (i.e. you keep an eye on places where deals are posted like the awardtravel subreddit), you could get a decent amount higher value.
