Guru’s Wrap-up

Not the best miles bonuses, but if you have any spending planned with Delta, then you can get up to $500 back with the Platinum card and up to $300 with the Gold card. The Platinum Delta SkyMiles offer is the most exciting one obviously. But keep in mind that the card comes with a $195 annual fee that is not waived the first year. It might be best to wait for the offers to become available through referrals, before applying. Stay away from self referrals.
