<br /><br />Just buy a refundable ticket.<br />I bought one from LAX-SFO for $220 in economy and got my $100 and $50 statement credit and got refunded already!!<br/>

I can't find the original dd post. Does the $50 credit work on refundable ticket or only GC? Can you use GC towards refundable the get credited to your card for whole balance?
Sorry my previous post was very not clear, I was trying to point to @nobiggy that did this process you should direct questions to him http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=44179.msg916960.msg#916960
I for myself only started this process just now.

How to get the Delta credit on gold and plat. sky miles cc's?

Buy the cheapest refundable ticket. I found that from LAX-SFO its $220 for a OW refundable which is great! Book it a few months out and wait a week untill the charge posts and the credit of $100 or $50 posts. Remember this is only for the sky miles cc's. Then go to delta.com and cancel the ticket. The whole process takes minutes to get $50/100, all you have to do is remember to cancel the ticket which means set a calendar reminder 1 week or so from when booked.

so when i applied for all three delta amex cards(gold, gold business and platinum) I was assigned a different skymiles account # for all three  cc's.  I called delta to combine all three accounts but they mentioned that amex can take back bonus miles for duplicate accounts and that I should call amex first.  From reading this thread it appears all three cc's are different but am I risking it by combining the skymiles account? or its is better to leave them separate for now?  The only disadvantage in not comboning the accounts is that I cannot combine points to purchase award travel ticket

anybody want to chime in?
Have you been advised already?
Have the same issue, they issued 2 different ffn for gold & platinum but I would like to combine.

I combined my 2 bonus accounts to make 100k and it's been a few weeks and I still have my points... I don't see what the issue would be.
And AMEX can't touch your points once in Delta skymiles account.

wow so when I applied for my third delta gold business card after they told me to call them  I told them I only want it processed if it will not result in a hard pull.  They ended up processing application with a hard pull.  After 2 weeks, approx seven phone calls and online chat i finally got a call back from amex  rep who siad after reviewing the matter in detail(i guess they may have listened to phone conversation) they will are going to take away the hard pull within 30-90 days :)
