Conclusion:
There’s no surreal bonus that comes out of this promotion where you have to upgrade to a Amex Platinum Delta Business SkyMiles, however, you still do get $100 statement credit towards the first year fee difference and if you were looking into getting a Platinum Delta Business, then this promotion could be your “testing waters.” You can always apply for the Platinum Delta SkyMiles® Business Credit Card in the near future of participating for this promotion and get the sign-up bonus (if the LifeTime rule doesn’t affect you, of course). I still don’t think there’s any surreal benefit towards upgrading considering the incentive isn’t very promising. Don’t forget to check out our complete list of Credit Card Promotions today!
