You probably won’t be able to get the MQMs from this one, but you can get the 50% transfer by creating a new Skymiles account. I’m currently on the ski slopes and don’t have my laptop so I’m sorry for the sloppiness of this post. I’ll add more color when I can.A couple things to note:1) you can link anyones delta to your amex membership rewards so creating a fake persons skymiles account and transferring for the 50% bonus should work. If you are feeling risky, you may be able to get them to merge a dupe account that is in your name but I bet they’ll be on the lookout for that2) if you have a delta Amex, I recommend applying for a brand new platinum card, which you can get approved for separately. Amex usually only gives 25k bonus for upgrading an existing account to Platinum, so just apply for a new one- I have links on this site for the Platinum card under the American Express Category (on I phone now- hard to embed links)3) once you have a platinum account, you can advance yourself up to 60,000 points instantly for free. The rules say you have to be a member for 6 months but the advance feature will work online4) the gold card had a 25,000 signup bonus and np annual fee. You can advance yourself 15,000 miles with a gold card and buy extra Amex points for 2.5 cents a piece.[card card-name=‘Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express ’ card-id=‘22035076’ type=‘javascript’ bullet-id=‘1’]
