  2. The Delta miles earned with this card are worth about 1.3 cents/mile (Airline Miles Valuation). Therefore, the highest sign-up bonus of 15k is worth about $195! For details on how to use Delta miles, please refer to "Delta Miles Redemption Guide》.

shortcoming

  1. The sign-up bonus is very low.

Recommended application time

  1. You can only get the sign-up bonus once in a lifetime, so be sure to wait until the highest offer in history appears before applying!
  2. 【New】【Same series restrictions】AmEx has started to gradually limit the sign-up bonuses for the same series of cards: the high annual fee will affect the low annual fee. Delta personal card series is also affected by this rule. So if you want to get both, it is recommended to open the low annual fee card first.
  3. When you apply for a card, AmEx may pop up a window to inform you that you cannot get the sign-up bonus for this card because you have a bad relationship with AmEx. In this case, just use your existing AmEx card more often and try not to close it. It may be possible to wait for a while. For details, see "AmEx pop-up analysis》.
  4. AmEx is not sensitive to the number of Hard Pulls.
  5. You can apply if you have a credit history of more than six months.
  6. A maximum of 2 credit cards can be approved within 90 days. Charge cards are not subject to this rule. Cards approved on the same day will have their Hard Pulls combined.
  7. You can hold up to 5 AmEx credit cards at the same time, but charge cards are not subject to this rule.

Summarize

This card is useless and the sign-up bonus is very low. Since AmEx only allows 5 card slots, I don’t even recommend applying for it. I think the only use of this card is to downgrade other annual fee Delta cards. In the past, AmEx Delta cards didn’t even have a no annual fee downgrade option, but now there is one! Note that if you are holding a Delta credit card, you will not be able to get the sign-up bonus of this card. For details, see the recommended application time section.
