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.

If a charge posted after expiration date of the offer but the charge was made before will i get the credit?

I don't know if anyone has brought up this data point before and I'm too lazy to check, but on any amex offer as long as the purchase was done before the offer expires, it credits, even if the charge only gets posted to your credit card the next day (after the offer expired). I used the 10% off of tolls offer on 10/31. The charge posted 11/1. The credit posted 11/5


same here
i actualy used the same offer at 12:30 am charge posted on the 2nd credit on the 6th
If this helps

Setting up the "business" name as my name helps.

Thanks.  I forgot about that one!

Also I read above that it seemed like $1200 accumulative purchase should work to get the max in addition to doing it in one transaction?

Just saved the $25 off $100 verizonwireless and the 10% off cable satellite to same card(s). Made a payment of $100 to Verizon (FIOS not wireless). I know I'll get $10, curious if I'll get $35, I'll report back.
Got the $10, not the $25. So it's wireless only.

YMMV. Some come right away, and some take a while.

Thank you!  I will give it a try.  Don't understand why they charge $6+ on the $200 cards.

Yes, no shipping fee, so profit of about $15.

Surprisingly, someone who paid a FIOS bill got 10% back twice from a single charge - once for the cable offer and once for the wireless offer.

Always had that happen, last time and this time.

Does this mean the wireless deal works for payment of FIOS bill?
