We may be living through the "Great Rewards Points Giveaway," as airlines and hotels scramble to get people traveling again by being more generous with their reward points offers. Earn a bonus 25,000 Sky Miles when you sign up for the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card, (which is a standard offer). But if you use those miles by August, they give you another 25,000 miles. So, you potentially earn two, totally free domestic flights, and they waive the annual fee (of $95) for the first year. Plus, you may have enough points to earn elite status on Delta, which means your baggage fees will be waived. (These miles do not qualify as Medallion miles for status upgrades in Delta's frequent flier program.)
The offer expires tomorrow, though. Details at NWA.com.

I have flown Northwest Airlines for over 25 years....
....now merged with Delta Airlines.
I applied for a Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card.
I was turned-down because of a Class 7 Bankruptcy that was discharged/cleared several years ago. That Chapter 7 issue solved a problem and that's all over.
I have 2 Visa's but I want the get this SkyMiles card as I now begin to travel via Delta.
I keep getting denied. Can you help please?
Thanks very much, Paul. My DOB: 7/24/40.
