Amex has increased the signup bonus on the Delta Reserve card. This is the highest bonus we have seen on the card.

Offer & Requirements

Earn 40,000 bonus miles and 10,000 Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) after you spend $3,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months.

The card has an annual fee of $450 that is not waived the first year.

These are some of the cards benefits

• Complimentary Delta Sky Club access for you and discounted access for up to 2 guests when traveling on a Delta flight.
• Earn 15,000 bonus miles and 15,000 MQMs after you spend $30,000 or more in eligible purchases on your Card in a calendar year.
• Receive upgrade priority over other Medallion members within the same Medallion level and fare class.
• Receive a Domestic First Class, Delta Comfort+® or Main Cabin round-trip companion certificate each year upon renewal of your Card.
• The Medallion Qualification Dollar requirement for the qualification year will be waived if you make at least $25,000 in Eligible Purchases in that year with your Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express.

Amex Lifetime Rule

American Express restricts you to just one sign up bonus per credit card product. That’s once per lifetime. Even if you previously had the card and didn’t receive a bonus (maybe during your pre-churning days), you won’t be eligible for a bonus on the same card.

Sometimes you’re able able to get a bonus again if you’ve had a card many years ago. & years could count as “lifetime”. But the best way to be check what cards you’ve had in the past, as per Amex, would be to just get a list of cards you have and had.

Guru’s Wrap-Up

This is a great bonus compared to the regular offer that only gives you 10,000 miles and 10,000 MQMs and the best ever on the card. But, even with this quadrupled bonus, this card is probably not for everyone, because it comes with a $450 annual fee that is not waived. This would be best for those who plan to take advantage of Delta Sky Club lounges.
