When reporting a new offer please post here http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=49544.0

To take advantage of an Amex offer, first save the offer to your card, then do the spending. There are a few ways to save offers to your card; http://www.amexoffers.com/ has links to most of them. Depending on the offer and depending on your Amex card, it may be available via none, one or more than one of these methods:

americanexpress.com web site
Log into the americanexpress.com web site. If you get the new version of the site, scroll down to Amex Offers & Benefits at the bottom of the page. If you get the old version, click the Amex Offers For You tab. You can also see on this web site which offers you already saved (even if you saved them via a method other than this web site) and which offers you already redeemed. This method is only available for Amex credit and charge cards issued by American Express.
The maximum number of offer that the site will show you is 100. If you already have 100 available offers, there may be other offers that they are prepared to show you, but are not showing you because you already have the maximum. To see additional offers, save one or more of your available offers and then refresh the list (F5 in most Windows browsers).

Saving an offer on AmericanExpress.com to one of your cards will automatically make it unavailable for the rest of your cards linked to the same login. The way to get around this is by opening all of your cards in separate tabs and then saving the offer in each.  **

**Sign into different tabs?!?
Sign onto your Amex account. card #1 is on the page.  scroll to offers. note a good one. 
Open  tab 2: amex.com (or with Chrome, right click on the first tab and choose Duplicate) > you are already logged in.> go to my accounts > click on card #2  on the top of the page. scroll to offers. check for same good offer. 
Open tab #3. repeat as for tab #2. Repeat as necessary.
THEN: on tab #1 - click 'save' .  Then on tab #2 click 'save' . Then on each tab.
If you so desire: check on each card's 'saved offers' to check that it's there.

This link should take you to the Amex old layout,
which is much easier to scroll down through all the offers.

Amex® Mobile app
This method is only available for Amex credit and charge cards issued by American Express. The login is the same as for the americanexpress.com web site.

Dedicated web site for enrollment
Some Amex offers, most notably Small Business Saturday, but also NYC Restaurant Week, Home Depot, Amazon and DirecTV, offer a dedicated web site where you could enter your card information to enroll.

For Bluebird/Serve cards
Amex offers can be saved via the bluebird.com web site. Go to Plan & Manage > Amex Offers. Amex offers can also be saved via the Bluebird mobile app.

For cards not issued by American Express (such as Amex cards issued by Citi, USAA, PenFed, Bank of America, etc.)
Add offers to your card at this site: https://www.americanexpress.com/us/network/shopping.html
You will be prompted for your name, card number and email address.

The person ringing me up sounded like the manager. I asked , can I buy gift cards. He said no. The system is down. I don't believe this was the case.
He told me that he knows,what I am trying to do and he will not allow it. This is not what amex intentions were when they made this offer ...

Could this be a great way to buy points at one cent per Point?
Anyone try it?

You could write a script to add to your amazon balance $.99 at a time or make payments to utility bills $.99 each...

Anyone having issues with the 5x gas stations offer?
Made purchases on 7 cards with the offer on 9/4, but only got bonus points for 5 of the cards.
Made more purchases on the same 7 cards on 9/6, but haven't gotten any bonus points yet.
bump
This is getting annoying-the points still haven't posted from 2 of my 9/4 transactions and all 7 of my 9/6 transactions. Worst part is that it's holding me back from making the most of the last couple weeks of this incredible offer. Anyone else hit this offer hard and have any DP's?

I also got

DETAILS

Get 5,000 additional Membership Rewards points one-time by using your enrolled Card to spend a minimum of $249+ in one or more eligible transactions online at nest.com by 10/30/2017. See terms for exclusions.
Can you not look two posts above?

That thread is meant to inform people about new offers so they can look at their own account and see if they have them. I don't think anyone is going to see the offer two posts above, and say "oh I didn't have the 5k offer, now that I see there's a 4k offer I'm gonna check again.

Those of us who receive notifications from that thread dont want to get notified again and again for every version of the same offer, especially if its been mentioned above.

I would assume if it's not fulfilled by a third party  (cash star) then you should qualify...
