A few weeks ago I shared an email from SkyBonus offering 55,000 Delta SkyMiles and 20,000 Medallion Qualifying Miles after becoming a Business Platinum card member and meeting minimum spending requirements. The publically available offer is available through this link (expired) and is good for applications through July 7th.
See airline credit card offers page for current offers.
Earn 25,000 bonus miles (5,000 of which count as MQMs) after your first purchase on the Card within the first year of Cardmembership. Earn an additional 30,000 miles (15,000 of which count as MQMs) after you make $5,000 of eligible purchase on the Card within the first 3 months of Cardmembership.
Business Platinum Card Offer
I received the card a week later and immediately activated the card and quickly earned 5,000 MQMs and 20,000 miles after making my first purchase. The miles have already posted and it’s only been two weeks!
Only a total of $5,000 to maximize the bonus on this card which is an additional 30,000 miles (15,000 of which count as MQMs).
Bottom Line
Since I jumped at this opportunity I was able to take advantage of an easy way to earn 20,000 MQMs that will count towards Delta elite qualifying status.
What about you, what’s been your experience with this limited time offer? Or have you still not applied?
If you are searching for a few more MQMs consider airline credit card offers page for current offers.

Would you spend 5k on the card within first week having it? Some regular spending and “others
I already have the reserve. can I still apply for the business card?
Hi Mordy – Generally yes. Please read the T&C to make sure you haven’t had another product that would disqualify you, like the Business Reserve in the recent past.
Thanks for the quick reply. I have the personal Reserve Card not the business.
The Terms and Conditions read:
Offer Terms
Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product or any other Delta SkyMiles Business Credit Card account within the last 12 months.
I never had a delta skymiles business card so I applied through your link of course and got approved.
I’m 804 miles away from Gold. I have a NYC-LON in 4 weeks which will get me over 6000 MQM’s plus the 20,000 I’m gonna get from this card and I’ll be Platinum pretty quickly!!!
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the data point. I got the card and made the first purchase a week ago. Nice to know that the initial bonus will post soon.
Received my card a few days ago. I notice that it has a $3,000 credit limit! My Delta Reserve card has a $50,000 limit. Has anyone else noticed this?
Arrived !!! I received the email that I was approved. Then, a follow up email from AX saying that they will 2 day the delivery. I received the card yesterday, activated it and made my first purchase this morning.
Waiting for the miles to show up !!!!
Happy July 4th all !!!!!
