Spent the required amount for the 80,000-mile welcome offer but the miles never posted, and Amex said the account did not qualify based on credit access and number of cards held, so they plan to cancel.

Opened the Delta Gold for the 90k offer showing no first-year annual fee, then was charged the fee anyway; the refund eventually posted months later with a bit of interest, unprompted.

It's how well reviewed American Express Delta SkyMiles Gold American Express Card is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Travel rewards card. Type: Airline credit card. Fees: $0 annual fee the first year, then $150. Rates & rewards: 2x miles on Delta purchases, at restaurants and at U.S. supermarkets; 1x on other eligible purchases.
