Seasonal Travel Incentives
“As the season shifts, many are starting to think ahead about fall and holiday travel planning,” American Express stated in a release. The statement further noted that eligible new cardholders can take advantage of these offers for travel to various destinations, from autumn foliage spots in the Northeast to sports events.
Enhanced Perks with Increased Fees
Delta recently increased the annual fees for its American Express credit cards, but added numerous new benefits. For instance, new cardholders of the Delta Platinum or Reserve cards will receive an annual companion certificate, usable for travel within the U.S., including Hawaii and Alaska, as well as to Mexico, the Caribbean, or Central America. Those signing up for a Delta Gold card will receive a $100 annual credit for Delta Stays, covering hotel and rental car bookings.
Program Changes and Loyalty Overhaul
In addition to the new card offers, Delta has revised its loyalty program. The airline now counts only Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) toward elite status, streamlining the process for achieving and maintaining elite tiers.
Conclusion
The fall promotion by American Express and Delta Air Lines presents a significant opportunity for travelers to earn valuable bonus miles and enjoy enhanced benefits. With a range of offers tailored to different spending levels and card types, this promotion is designed to cater to a variety of travel preferences and spending habits.
