Throughout 2023, the Delta SkyMiles American Express cards featured several "elevated" welcome offers to attract new travelers. For example, the Delta SkyMiles Gold Card often featured a welcome bonus of 40,000 to 70,000 bonus miles after meeting a specific spending requirement (usually $2,000 to $3,000) within the first few months. The Delta SkyMiles Platinum Card saw offers ranging from 50,000 to 90,000 miles, sometimes including a statement credit for Delta purchases. The premium Delta Reserve Card occasionally reached "limited-time" heights of 100,000+ miles. A major permanent benefit introduced or highlighted in 2023 was the "TakeOff 15" perk, which gives cardholders a 15% discount on award travel booked with miles through Delta's website or app. These offers were designed to complement other card perks like the first checked bag free, priority boarding, and (for higher-tier cards) companion certificates and MQD boosts to help travelers reach Medallion status faster.
