Newly implemented today (April 2nd, 2026) for Delta cards, right after Delta's latest elevated SUB ended.
Comparing the current as-high-as (AHA) SUBs to previous regular baselines (during periods without limited-time offers):
Delta
Personal:
- Delta Gold: was 50k miles, now AHA 80k miles
- Delta Platinum: was 60k miles, now AHA 90k miles
- Delta Reserve: was 70k miles, now AHA 100k miles
The AHA ceilings are theoretically higher than standard SUBs before, but still worse than the best-ever SUBs that just ended yesterday (90k / 100k / 125k respectively, though had higher total spend requirements).
Delta Business cards are unaffected for now (60k Biz Gold, 70k Biz Plat, 80k Biz Reserve).
Blue Cash
Personal:
- Blue Cash Everyday: was $200, now AHA $200
- Blue Cash Preferred: was $250, now AHA $350
AwardWallet claims that AHA for these started in February 2026, though some reports suggest they were limited to referrals back then. Regardless, AHA applies to public offers now.
Business cards are also unaffected (Blue Business Cash and Blue Business Plus).
Hilton & Marriott: No AHA… For Now?
Both of these have limited-time SUBs ongoing: Hilton ends 4/15/2026, and Marriott ends 5/13/2026. They're still showing fixed SUBs as of today.
With the rate they're going, though… I wouldn't be surprised to see them switching to AHA after these bonuses end.
AmEx now has as-high-as SUBs on Delta cards (speculation: more to come?)

Beautiful, need to replenish my delta miles too. Hope business stays unaffected. Can’t open shit till I’m under 5.
In practice when does someone actually get the higher sub? I only see the AHA offer when I go incognito.
