50K AMEX Gold Delta SkyMiles Card with $100 Statement Credit

A 50K AMEX Gold Delta SkyMiles signup bonus offer with $100 statement credit is available if you start a Delta.com flight booking. You don't have to actually complete your Delta booking, you can simply apply for the offer and later make a Delta purchase (including gift cards) to get the $100 statement credit.

I noticed this offer when booking a positioning flight for a TravelSort Award Booking client, and while I personally never collect Delta SkyMiles or book Delta awards for myself, I may have to review our travel plans for the coming year just to make sure there still aren't any flights where we'd be able to use a $100 Delta flight credit and 50K Sky Pesos, er, SkyMiles.

Here are the offer details:

• Earn 50K Delta SkyMiles after you make $2000 in purchases within the first 3 months of membership
• Receive a $100 statement credit after you make a Delta purchase with your card within the first 3 months of membership
• Earn 2X on Delta purchases made directly with Delta, when Delta is the merchant of record
• Enjoy first checked bag free for the card member and up to 8 travel companions on the same Delta flight reservation as the card member
• No foreign transaction fees
• No annual fee the first year, then $95 per year
• Offer expires July 6, 2016
