Buy 4x $50 Delta gift cards this year. Switch to United on January 1st, 2017  8)

Tried finding this, but did not have much luck... last year i did PGGM, but for now it seems like il need to purchase these delta GC. A few questions.
Do these need to be sent to the primary card name?
Do they need to be purchased as four separate charges, or as one $200 will also do it?
E-card works, or need to order the physical card?

TIA

Yes, but be aware that Amex could change its mind a few months later and start clawing it back.
If you have absolutely no use for the credit otherwise, and are buying stuff on amazon anyway (hence would be ok with the clawback), otherwise proceed with caution.

50% rebate on coach can be for international or is it domestic only?
If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

It's not a new product.

My friend applied first time for platinum and for the Mercedes Benz platinum. And he got a minus on his rewards because both are the same product and you can't get both bonuses. Sounds interesting!
