New Delta Limited Time Offers! (60,000+ Until July 2, 2019)

American Express just released new limited time offers for the Delta co-branded credit cards that expire on July 2, 2019! These new offers are great because they are much higher than the standard welcome offers that go out for the Delta credit cards — in some cases twice as high!

American Express Membership Rewards also transfer to Delta so with these new higher welcome bonuses, it’s extremely easy to accumulate Delta miles in a hurry. But should you apply for these limited time offers or wait it out?

Offers no longer available.

Read before applying for Delta cards

As nice as these Delta offers are, you might want to pass up on them for now. If you are under 5/24 (you have NOT opened up five accounts in the past 24 months) then there are much better cards to jump on for most people interested in the best travel rewards.

For many people, it would make much more sense to jump the new 60,000 point offer for the Chase Sapphire Preferred. Or you might even go for a heavy hitter like the Chase Ink Preferred with its ultra-high 80,000 point offer. The Sapphire Reserve and Chase Ink Cash could be great options as well. Aside from having great bonuses and bonus earning potential these cards are worth looking at because you can’t get approved for these cards if you’ve opened up five or more accounts in the past 24 months. 

These limited-time Delta offers come around seasonly so you can pretty much always expect them to return (though of course we never know for sure what will happen in the future). So if you became ineligible for a Chase card with a great offer like a 60K or 80K bonus just to snag a Delta offer that will likely come back around, that would be a very bad credit card strategy.

How to maximize Delta miles

If you’re already over 5/24, these offers can be great. I personally jumped on the Delta Gold and Delta Platinum Cards a while back and used miles to fly in business class on Virgin Atlantic to London, while only paying like $5 in fees. Even though you have to deal with dynamic pricing, there’s a lot of value to be had with Delta SkyMiles. If you are at all interested in the Delta cards, I highly suggest that you check out our article on the 15 best ways to maximize Delta miles.
