Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer
You can hold up to 5 cards from this issuer simultaneously.
Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending, excessive cash advances, misuse or abuse of welcome offer terms, canceling or downgrading the card within 12 months of opening, returning purchases used to meet the minimum spend threshold, suspicious account activity, high credit utilization across multiple Amex accounts
Cliff Effect Rules
The once-per-lifetime rule is card-specific within the Delta family. However, Amex has introduced family language for some Delta cards — holding or having previously held the Delta Gold, Platinum, or Reserve cards may also block the welcome bonus on those specific products respectively, but the Blue card's bonus eligibility is evaluated independently from the higher-tier cards. Having held the Blue card does not block bonuses on the Gold, Platinum, or Reserve cards, and vice versa.
International Friendly
May have limitations for international use.
Additional Issuer Rules
American Express enforces a once-per-lifetime welcome bonus rule — applicants who have or have previously held the Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card are ineligible to earn the welcome bonus again, regardless of how much time has passed since they last held the card. Amex will notify applicants before processing the application if they are ineligible, allowing them to withdraw without triggering a hard inquiry. Applicants are also subject to a limit of two personal credit card approvals within any 90-day period and a maximum of five Amex credit cards (personal and business combined) held simultaneously.
