This limited-time offer for the Delta Air Lines credit cards expired in October 2020. For current offers, see our best airline credit cards page.

Delta Air Lines credit cards have significantly boosted welcome offers for new cardholders, dangling thousands more Delta SkyMiles as an incentive to apply for an airline card during the worldwide pandemic, when relatively few people are flying.

Here are the welcome offers for new holders of these cards by American Express:

Each new offer requires more spending in the first three months of card ownership, which is typical when issuers raise new-cardholder incentives. Welcome offers can change often, especially for airline credit cards. Note that these higher bonuses last about six weeks, expiring on Oct. 28.
