Here’s an easy promotion that could be worth taking advantage of. If you purchase a $250+ Delta gift card, you can receive a $25 Lyft ride credit:
- The Delta gift card can be redeemed 72 hours after purchase, and has no expiration date
- The offer is available until December 20, 2021, or as long as supplies last
- The bonus Lyft ride credit will be emailed to eligible purchasers separately from the Delta gift card, to the email address listed at the time of purchase
- The Lyft ride credit can be used multiple times, up to the $25 value, on all car rides (excluding tips), and will expire on June 30, 2022
- This offer is available to residents of the United States who are 18+ years old
Bottom line
At the moment you can receive a $25 Lyft credit when you purchase a $250+ Delta gift card. While this isn’t the highest value offer on earth, it’s worth taking advantage if you fly Delta with any frequency. It’s like getting 10% extra value on a Delta gift card purchase.
Do you plan on taking advantage of this Delta gift card promo?
Buying these kind of gift cards gave me 1x on Amex Platinum when I got 2 cards before at the time they gave 2 extra delta miles for gift card purchases, unlike previous times when I got 5x for airfare. Defeats the purpose a little bit.
Good news for folks in the U.S., but Delta (and other U.S. carriers I've looked at) will only accept credit cards with U.S. billing address for gift card purchases. Why they trust worldwide credit cards for costly ticket purchases but not for inexpensive gift card purchases I do not know.
I confirm that the regular Delta e-gift card link triggers the $125 off 300 Amex Offer, at least for a $305 purchase: https://www.delta.com/egift/eGiftPurchase.action?icid=PROD_eGift_Launch
The 2x link does not (fulfilled by Cash star). This promo likely does not either, as it is fulfilled by Cash star https://promo.giftcards.delta.com/store/recipient?locale=en-us
Wonder if this can be combined with that spend $300 Amex offer. Probably not.
Most likely yes. Gift cards have triggered the various Delta Amex offers in the past, including for me just a few weeks ago.
