Guru’s Wrap-up
If you get this welcome bonus to show up while booking a Delta flight, it is definitely worth going for, if you are eligible. This is a big bonus and the annual fee is waived the first year, which should be a great deal for those who fly Delta often.
However, it could still be worth applying through referrals from friends and family members, as they can earn a big referral bonus of up to 40,000 points, on top of the welcome offer that you get.
