Below are terms and a link (red font) to a $100 gift card (<=18,000 miles) promo for Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card. You might also want to check this $100 gift card (=10,000 points) AmEx Gold Card bonus to make an educated decision, which card to apply for.

IBD note:

You will get 20000 miles after your first purchase. There are, at least, two ways to redeem these miles.

1) You could try to exchange 18,000 miles for a $100 gift card. You will first need to convert your Delta SkyMiles to WorldPerks miles here. If you do not have a WorldPerks account, you can create one here.
Then you should be able to exchange 18,000 miles of 20,000 miles for
- $100 Barnes & Noble Gift Card
- $100 Eddie Bauer Gift Card
- Shell $100 Gift Card
etc. via SkyMall


OR


2) The minimal price of round-trip ticket is 25000 miles. You could get additional 5000 miles by adding two cardholders (mom, dad, sister....) to your account ( I suspect that imaginary friends Giggi and Diggi would also work just fine). Or you could earn 5000 miles by spending $5000 with this card. Or you could probably buy 5000 points from Delta or via Points.com. You could still get a one-way ticket for as low as 12500 miles. The first annual fee is waived for this card offer.


Terms:
1) 20,000 bonus miles will be awarded after your first purchase on the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card in the increments of 10,000 as a Welcome Bonus and 10,000 for this special offer. Please allow 8 to 12 weeks after your first purchase for the bonus miles to appear in your Delta SkyMiles account. This offer is valid for first-time Delta SkyMiles Cardmembers only. If you already have or had any other Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express Account(s), you are eligible to receive only the incremental difference between the Welcome Bonus miles offered herein and the amount offered with such other Account(s). You may be permitted to have more than one Delta SkyMiles Credit Card account; however, you are eligible to receive bonus miles for only one Card account. Additional Cardmembers are not eligible.

2) 2,500 bonus miles will be awarded to your Delta SkyMiles account for each approved Additional Card submitted with this application, up to a maximum of 5,000 bonus miles. Bonus miles will be posted to your account 8 to 12 weeks after each Card application is approved.


3) The annual fee for the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card will be waived for the first year of Cardmembership. The annual fee will be $95 thereafter. The $95 annual fee will be reduced to $40 provided you are also the Basic Cardmember of a domestic American Express consumer Charge Card account that has an annual fee greater than or equal to $55.
