New Offer: Delta Amex Gold 60k after 1k spend in 3 months ( Targeted )

A dear friend of MonkeyMiles sent us a link to a targeted offer that was emailed early this morning. It’s the best deal I’ve seen in a quite some time. In fact, I applied and was approved for a 50k offer earlier this year and was very pleased with that! This one is even sweeter!

The Deets –

  • 60,000 Skymiles after $1,000 spend in 3 months
  • $95 annual fee waived the first year
  • $50 statement credit when making a Delta purchase in the first 3 months
  • 1st bag fee waived on domestic flights
  • Priority Boarding

Miles loved his flight on Virgin Atlantic that he redeem 62,500 Skymiles for earlier this year. They are incredibly valuable when looking to book on partner space – Great for Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia ( which has the best direct flight premium award availability to Australia, bar none )

If you have any purpose for a European or Australian trip and need to top up some Skymiles for a premium ticket, this would be an EXCELLENT time to do so.

If you’ve received this offer, it has links to both personal and business cards, which means after minimum spend is reached you’d have increased your Skymiles account by 122,000 miles for only $2000 spend. Unbelievable.

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex℠and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.
