Note: If you spend $2000 within 3 months, you get 25000 points that can be exchanged for $250 in gift cards (e.g. for Dell, see here). Cashback rate in the thread title refers to the value of a $100 gift card that you can redeem 10,000 points for. If you spend $30,000 with the card between January 1st and December 31st, you will get additionally 15,000 bonus points and 30,000 regular points. Your total number of bonus and regular points will be 70,000 points. You can redeem 70,000 points for $700 in gift cards.
Alternatively, you should be able to convert 27000 points (25000 bonus points and 2000 regular points after spending $2000 to get the bonus) to 27000 Delta miles. You can then exchange 27000 bonus miles for $270 in Delta airfare (see more info here).
If you spend $30,000 within one year and get 70,000 points (both bonus and regular, see above), you should be able to exchange them for $700 in Delta airfare (70,000 Delta miles).
