If you’re a business owner who’s always on the go and you’ve chosen Delta as your preferred airline, keeping a Delta credit card in your wallet is a no-brainer.

There are multiple Delta business credit cards to choose from, and the welcome offers for each can vary greatly. Fortunately, you could receive a targeted offer of up to 75,000 to 110,000 miles!

So, how can you find out if you’re targeted for these increased offers? Here are the steps to take to land that increased welcome offer, along with the benefits of having a Delta business card.

How To Get Targeted Welcome Offers

Targeted offers are discussed in the article below. Please note that these offers are not available to all applicants. Any information related to targeted offers has been collected independently and has not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

The standard welcome offer for the Delta business credit cards can be anywhere from 55,000 to 75,000 miles, so you see why a targeted offer of 75,000 to 110,000 miles is highly sought after — receiving one can double the miles you earn!

Here are the highest recorded welcome offers on the Delta Business credit cards:

  • Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card — 75,000 miles
  • Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Business American Express Card — 100,000 miles
  • Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card — 110,000 miles

There are 2 main ways to receive a targeted welcome offer for one of the Delta business credit cards:

  1. Checking for targeted offers at a Delta/American Express landing page using your SkyMiles number
  2. Receiving a targeted mailing

Checking for Targeted Offers at the Delta/American Express Website

The easiest way to see if you’re targeted for an increased welcome offer is to visit the dedicated website for SkyMiles members! Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Sign-Up for a Delta SkyMiles Account

In order to be eligible to check and see if you’re targeted for an increased welcome offer, you must have a Delta SkyMiles account. Don’t have a SkyMiles account already? No problem, simply visit Delta’s website to set up your account.

Step 2: Visit the Delta/Amex Website to See If You’re Targeted for Any Increased Offers

Head to the Delta/American Express page and enter your SkyMiles number and your last name to see if your account is targeted for any offers.

Bottom Line: If you receive 1 or more targeted offers then congrats! You can click right through to apply for your new card. If you enter your information and see “Please Verify The Information You Entered Is Correct And Try Again” it means your account is not targeted for an increased welcome offer.

Targeted Mailings from American Express

Another way that many people receive targeted Delta card offers is in the mail. All you need to do is opt-in to receive credit card offers from American Express. Just visit the communications preferences in your American Express account and make sure you’ve enabled communication via mail.

Reasons You May Not Access an Increased Welcome Offer

You’ve opted out of marketing offers: As mentioned before, you could be missing out on some fantastic credit card offers if you have not opted-in to receive offers from American Express, so make sure you have opted-in to receive both email and mail offers!

Low credit: If you don’t have a high credit score, you’re not just less likely to be targeted for the offer, but you’ll have a difficult time just getting approved for the card. As always, you want to keep your credit score as high as possible. You should be using your current credit responsibly and paying off your bill in full and on time each month. Plus, if you’re applying with an EIN, you’ll need to work to build up your business credit score too.

Benefits of Delta Credit Cards

Deciding on which Delta Business card is right for your business can seem tricky. However, when evaluating, you should find the card with perks that you can take advantage of the most; this ensures you’re getting the most return with the card. You can read more about each individual cards in our card reviews.

However, here’s a quick breakdown of the perks of the Delta Business cards. Keep in mind that the Delta Gold Business card earns 2x miles per $1 spent on eligible Delta purchases, while the Delta Platinum Business card and Delta Reserve Business card earn 3x miles per $1 spent on eligible Delta purchases.
