Delta Amex Platinum Business Card - 70,000 SkyMiles Sign-up Bonus

Great offer for anyone interested in earning Delta SkyMiles or Delta elite status.  Public offer has expired; sign-up bonus is available only via referral.


Apply for the Platinum Delta SkyMiles® Business Credit Card with this referral link:


Offer Details
  • Must apply by Jan 31, 2018, using the link above or via a referral email
  • 70,000 Delta SkyMiles when meeting minimum spend
  • 10,000 Delta Medallion Qualifying Miles (MQMs) 
  • Earn the sign-up bonus by spending $4,000 or more within the first 3 months
  • $100 statement credit after Delta purchase on the card in first 3 months
  • $195 annual fee (NOT waived the first year)


FYI:  This is the BUSINESS version of the card.  
This means a 
couple of things:
  • It is a separate product from the PERSONAL Delta Amex Platinum card.  You can get approved for, and earn the bonus on, the business version even if you hold or previously held the personal version.
  • As a business card, this card does not hit one's personal credit report and therefore does not worsen one's situation with regard to Chase's 5/24 rule.


Good background article on HOW (and why) to apply for a business credit card:


Card Benefits / Details
  • Earn an additional 10,000 SkyMiles AND 10,000 MQMs by spending $25,000 on the card in a calendar year.  Spend $50,000 and earn an additional 10,000 MQMs (20k MQMs in one calendar year with $50k spend)
  • Priority Boarding (Zone 1) on Delta flights for cardmember and others on same reservation
  • Card benefits - first checked bag free on every Delta flight.
  • Earn 1 SkyMile per dollar spent.  Earn 2 SkyMiles per dollar on Delta purchases
  • 20% off eligible in-flight purchases via statement credit (meals, food, alcoholic beverages, headsets; in-flight wi-fi and charitable donations excluded)
  • Spend $25,000 or more on the card in a calendar year to waive Delta's revenue requirement component of elite status qualification.

Bottom Line
Great card, top-notch sign-up bonus.  Highly recommended.
  • This offer usually pops up once or twice a year.  Last time, it required $5k spend; this time only $4k.
  • The usual bonus on this card is about half this good - typically 35k SkyMiles and 5k MQMs.
  • This card is a business card and will not show up on your personal credit report.  Nor will it count toward your Chase 5/24 limit.
  • American Express has both Gold and Platinum Delta co-branded credit cards, each in a business and personal version (four cards total).
