Delta's boosted welcome offers on its business credit cards are some of the most rewarding we've seen and can add serious value to your travel budget if you qualify. With up to 110,000 miles on the table — and personal card offers also available — now could be a great time to add a Delta Amex to your wallet.
The following FAQs have been answered by CNN Underscored travel editor and credit card expert Kyle Olsen.
Am I eligible for more than one welcome bonus offer?
Am I eligible for more than one welcome bonus offer?
You can earn multiple Delta SkyMiles American Express welcome bonuses but only once per specific card product. That means you can't get the bonus again if you've already received it for the same card, even if you close and reapply. But you can earn bonuses across different Delta Amex cards (like Gold, Platinum, Reserve or Business versions), as long as you meet the eligibility criteria.
In 2024, Amex introduced new restrictions that may prevent you from getting a bonus on one Delta card if you've had another, though rules vary by card and aren't always reciprocal. To improve your odds, it's often best to apply for lower-tier cards first. Amex will usually show a pop-up warning during the application process if you're not eligible for a bonus, allowing you to back out. Always check the latest terms before applying.
Which is the right Delta Amex business card is for me?
Which is the right Delta Amex business card is for me?
The right Delta Amex business card comes down to how often you fly and what perks matter most to you. Go with the Gold if you travel occasionally and want solid benefits like a free checked bag and priority boarding with a low annual fee. Choose the Platinum if you fly more often and want extras like a companion certificate and travel credits. Opt for the Reserve if you travel frequently and value premium perks like lounge access and a first-class companion certificate.
As with all CNN Underscored articles, our coverage of travel rewards and credit cards is rooted in independent, objective reporting and real-world experience.

Supreme Court Allows DOGE Access to Social Security Data
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for members of the Department of Government Efficiency, a cost-cutting group once led by Elon Musk, to access sensitive Social Security Administration records. Granting an emergency request by the Trump administration, the justices lifted a lower court order that for now had barred DOGE employees or affiliates from accessing the agency's systems and directed them to delete personal information they already had gathered.

What's next for DOGE after the wild Trump-Musk breakup?
The very public internet feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk this week has thrown the fate of Musk's 'Department of Government Efficiency' operation into question. A clash over the Trump-backed spending bill devolved Thursday, with Musk suggesting Trump ought to be impeached and the president suggesting halting government contracts for Musk's companies. Trump downplayed the significance of the pair's blowup Thursday evening, and Republicans appeared eager to ease tensions after their dispute dominated headlines. But their bitter public brawl has raised a host of questions about how the Trump-Musk relationship will change moving forward. Advertisement Some federal employees are hopeful that DOGE will lose power within the administration after its early push to slash funding and fire employees. The fracas also raises questions about whether Musk's allies who remain in the DOGE operation will stick around, or might leave — or be nudged out — sooner than they had planned. 'The girls are fighting, and I'm here for it,' said one Energy Department career official who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. 'This could bode well for shaking things loose at DOE,' that person said. 'Right now, there is an ironclad hold on all funding activities, and that freeze is mostly at the request of DOGE.' Asked Friday about DOGE's fate in the wake of the Trump-Musk fight, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in an email, 'The Trump administration will continue the mission of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse across all agencies to ensure the federal government is effectively using taxpayer dollars.' Rogers added that the passage of 'The One, Big, Beautiful Bill' and the rescissions package the White House sent to Congress are 'essential to further codifying the DOGE cuts.' EPA and the Energy and Interior departments did not respond to requests for comment about whether DOGE's stature within the administration and inside federal agencies will change in the wake of the fight. 'We were hopeful for this failure of relationships,' said an Interior Department employee who was granted anonymity because they fear retaliation. 'There is still a feeling that DOGE is heavily influencing things here,' due in part 'to contracts and agreements being scrutinized,' that person said. The public spat between Trump and Musk could give agency heads like Energy Secretary Chris Wright more leeway to make decisions independently, said a former Energy Department career staffer who was granted anonymity because they fear retribution. Musk being on the outs could also possibly make new hires and normal funding flow a little more likely, said that former staffer, who added that it's unclear whether the gutting of agency staffing and funding was due to Musk's efforts in particular. Tom Pyle, president of the conservative think tank Institute for Energy Research, said it's 'too early to tell' what the feud means for DOGE over the long term. Musk formally left his DOGE post last week, when Trump hosted a farewell event with the Tesla CEO in the Oval Office. Musk said last Friday that his exit was not the 'end of DOGE, but really the beginning.' When Trump created DOGE, he required agencies to establish their own DOGE teams. Many of the officials deployed early on by the administration have ties to Musk's companies, including SpaceX, X and xAI. Trump praised the DOGE team's work last week and said that many DOGE people would be 'staying behind' after Musk's departure. Musk contended at the time that he was leaving because his time as a temporary special government employee had come to an end, but Trump disputed that claim in one of his disparaging posts Thursday on Truth Social. 'Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!' Trump posted. It remains to be seen whether DOGE was 'just a pet project that Donald Trump created for Elon Musk,' said Joel Payne, a Democratic strategist. The answer will become clear pretty quickly, Payne said. 'I think it's probably a pretty good bet that at a minimum it is not the high-profile effort that it was.' But even if there's a public effort to declare a truce, Payne said, 'I doubt the relationship between their collective worlds will ever be OK.' Despite the rift, Republicans and some agency employees aren't expecting an immediate or dramatic shift in DOGE's work at agencies. 'The DOGE folks that have been planted in these agencies have some pretty firm backing from the White House, and I don't think this changes that dynamic,' Pyle said. 'I think that they're still empowered to do their work, at least for now.' Sean Spicer, who served as White House press secretary during Trump's first term, said DOGE 'is much bigger than a group of staff. It has been a mentality that is now part of every department and agency.' Trump's energy and environmental Cabinet bosses — Wright, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin — were all together in Alaska this week to discuss energy issues and stayed out of the fray on social media. They have all previously praised Musk and the DOGE team's work. Nicole Cantello, president of an American Federation of Government Employees union local that represents employees in EPA's Chicago-based region, doesn't expect big changes in store for DOGE. 'We believe the spat between Trump and Musk will have no effect on the plan to dismantle the EPA,' Cantello said Friday. 'This administration has shown time and again that it is determined to put polluters first, over the health of the American people.'

DC Circuit upholds FERC decision on Mountain Valley expansion
A federal appeals court Friday upheld a decision by federal regulators that granted developers more time to complete a natural gas pipeline expansion in Virginia and North Carolina. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 'reasonably found that [Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC] had satisfied the good cause standard in seeking an extension' for the MVP Southgate project, Senior Judge Harry Edwards wrote in an opinion for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Given that developers focused their 'efforts on securing authorization' for the main, 303-mile Mountain Valley pipeline project, 'MVP made a good faith effort to meet the original Southgate deadline,' said Edwards, a Carter appointee. Advertisement The MVP Southgate project, approved by FERC in June 2020, was originally conceived as a 75-mile extension to the mainline Mountain Valley project. That main pipeline started operating last year and connects West Virginia with southern Virginia. MVP Southgate would continue on into North Carolina.
