Amex 5,000 Bonus points per $100 Delta transaction
« on: July 28, 2011, 04:45:04 PM »
I found this on some other website:

"As an American Express® Cardmember enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program, you're invited to enroll now to earn 5,000 Membership Rewards points for each Delta Air Lines purchase of $100 or more from July 15, 2011 to October 31, 2011."

https://rewards.americanexpress.com/olet/splash?campaignId=5kmr0715&offerType=deltabonus

Note*

You will have the best success by calling a general CSR  1-800-528-4800  (not MR or Plat CSR) adding Bonus ID 6760 to your account.

Also, I heard a rumor that this is not valid for gold cards.  YMMV


You may be able to use it with this if you have a paid upgrade or something:

Offtopic: Can we added more than one bonus code to our account? so could we stack opening promo bonus's?

Called again. Got automatically transferred to a plat rep. She said she's just been notified about this, and the only way to register is to go online or do the automated code on the website (which didn't work for me)

Anyone have any luck?

I called last night on a platinum card, they transfered me to membership rewards, and I asked if I was eligible for "the 5,000 bonus points for buying on delta." He said the bonus id and asked if I heard about it on flyertalk. I told him yes, and I told him if was eligible, it would better than using my delta card to book some tickets I wanted. He said 12 people had already called since he started work, applied the id, and said I was eligible  :)

In short, yes, I had success by talking with membership rewards on a platinum card.

Does Delta have GC's that you can use this for or what other options besides a paid upgrade?
it CAN be done!

Called MR and asked nicely and they applied the code to my account. Wonder whether it will work for taxes on award tickets

Would it work for their GC's?

http://www.delta.com/help/contact_us/ticket_office_locations/ticket_office_services/delta_gift_certificates/index.jsp
"Balance transfers, Express Cash, Cash Advances, U.S. Savings Bonds transactions, American Express Travelers Cheques, and Gift Cheques do not earn Program points. This bonus points offer is only available with a minimum purchase of $100 for qualifying flights." Would GC's fall under Gift Cheques?

GC's are a real pain because they must be bought at the airport and redeemed there as well. There is also a limit of 3 at a time

which number did you call?

edit: I called the main number, as per the OP, and I was told I either had to do it online, or had to call a special number (800-794-1308), but that number asked me for a RSVP code... Any suggestions?

i would say that in this situation, just purchase whatever you have, and then send an SM to MR, it should work, like Insight worked and as other targeted offers, (the previous Delta 10 x offer, worked perfect for me this way, although it was targeted). but, be ready to wait 6-8 weeks, as they usually say.

Delta bonus - 5k points for every $100 purchase

I think it doesn't work with all amex cards.

I am wondering if buying gift cards (does the airline credit work for Delta?) would do the trick? If so, 2 x $100 GC = Free + 10k points.

The airline credit works for Delta. Just make sure you wait 48 hrs after calling Amex and picking Delta before you buy the GC's. And please post back here if delta still has GC's.

Delta gift cards could only be bought at the airport. and could only be used for the person it was bought, in their name. So this is not a deal at all.
