There’s another round of targeted welcome offers out for the American Express Delta business credit cards which don’t have Amex’s standard “once in a lifetime” language. Because of this, the offers produced should be obtainable for folks who have had the cards before or who have them now.
In addition to having no lifetime language, these links are also showing welcome bonuses that are significantly higher than the current public offers, including 100k and 125k SkyMiles for the Delta Platinum and Reserve, respectively.
These offers are targeted and appear to be based on receiving a specific communication via snail or e-mail. That said, there’s a link that was shared by Danny the Deal Guru that appears to work for anyone (let me know in the comments if anyone has an issue accessing the offers with it).
The Deal
- There is a link that produces current welcome offers for American Express Delta Sky Miles business cards, but without the normal “once-in-a-lifetime” language and with elevated welcome offers:
- Delta Business Gold: 90k SkyMiles after $6k spend in six months
- Delta Business Platinum: 100k SkyMiles after $8k spend in six months
- Delta Business Reserve: 125k SkyMiles after $12k spend in six months
- Offers expire 9/4/24

Quick Thoughts
Most Amex welcome offers come with the following “lifetime rule” restriction:
Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card.
Because of this, if you’ve ever had a given card before, you are usually prohibited from earning a welcome offer for that same card. (although, Amex is known to “forget” that you’ve had a card after about 5-7 years). In addition, Amex has expanded “family” language limits to the Platinum, Gold and Delta cards (among others). The offers available through this link have no lifetime language (NLL), so they aren’t bound by these restrictions.
In addition, these NLL offers have bonuses that are between 35k-50k higher than the current, publicly-available versions: 90k for the (Delta) Business Gold, 100k for the (Delta) Business and 125k for the Business Reserve. Those are very good on their own right, without even considering the lack of lifetime language.
The link that DDG shared was a little finicky for me in my primary Chrome profile (as are a lot of Amex links these days). If you have problems, try opening it using a fresh browser or browser instance.
