American Express has brought back increased sign-up bonuses on their Delta credit cards, now with even lower spending requirements! The personal cards are offering up to 110,000 SkyMiles, and here's the kicker – the spending thresholds have dropped from $3k/$4k/$5k to just $2k/$3k/$5k. These offers are available through incognito mode, making them accessible to most applicants. This deal was first reported by Doctor of Credit.

Why This Matters
These are the highest offers we've seen on Delta cards this year, beating the previous round that topped out at 100,000 miles. What makes this deal especially sweet is the reduced spending requirements – you're getting more miles for less spend.
For context, 110,000 SkyMiles can get you:
- Round-trip domestic flights in economy (2-3 trips)
- One-way business class to Europe using Delta's award chart
- Multiple short-haul flights
- Current valuation: 1.2 cents per mile according to TPG
The lower spending thresholds make these bonuses achievable even if you don't have major purchases planned. At $2,000 spend for 75,000 miles on the Delta Gold card, that's an incredible return on everyday spending.
