30% Rebate on Amex to Delta Transfers

any idea on how long they are running this promo?

As you mentioned, the business class award to Africa for 120k, with the stopover in Europe, is really one of the best uses of Skymiles, especially considering the award availability seems to be exceptional.

The only other award that really appeals to me is the V Australia award, which is 150k, but getting the gateway flights can be a bit of a challenge, so for ease of booking and the stopover, the Africa award is quite a bargain.

I receintly received the 75000 bonus for a personal as well as a business card. With 10 months or so yet to go before I have to cancel to avoid the annual fee, do you think I should jump on this bonus or wait and see what may come along down the road. In other words, has there ever been a better bonus offered and is there a pretty good chance of another better one coming along?

Ken, Can you copy and paste the link?

Post to come! http://www.delta.com/skymiles/buy_transfer/transfer_lto_exclusive50.jsp?MkCpgn=EMPARTAA001140110911152126-B01A-A

offer I got was actually to PURCHASE miles at 100% bonus, but looks like TPG found a good transfer offer below. The link from the email goes to the standard skymiles purchase landing page. Here is a copy/paste of the email i got:

i am not an elite member wih Delta: seeing these non desirable sides with Delta points: take well well too much more miles to fly a common route LAX NYC ( ie domestic long hauls) and well too much to get to asia.. enen with give 50 get back 15 amex promotion I still rate CO points much more valuable you find many many direct flight coast to coast for 12.5K one way now how much do we miss for the missing CO as partner with AMex ? this helps to support CHase Sapphire signon bonus is a stellar offer even with just 50K unless you were targeted ( heard some people still get 100K some with 50K with first purchase )
I just booked a CO trip NYC to TPE ( stopover) to CTU ( CHengdu china a stop over to hug pandas etc) and back to NYC with perfect connection.. I bet this will take well well too many Delta points

i tried to register but was told that i am not eligible. was this a targeted emailed offer?
