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 $60 Amazon offer does not need to be in one purchase, correct? Thanks.

Correct.

Correct.
You've done it, or this is just your reading of the t&c (which I would agree with)?

Ive done it. But common sense dictates that since Amazon only charges the card for each item as it ships, it has to be this way.

I've done 50+10 a few times already and was credited every time so far.

(my kids like those cute gift boxes that come with the $50 Amazon GC cards, otherwise I would just do simple $60 reloads each time.)

Would mobil gift cards purchased at the gas station work for the amex offer, even though the t&c's say not ?

If posting an Amazon deal I'd greatly appreciate if you can use this simple format so that I don't need to edit your link.

For these Twizzlers for example:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F8EUR6/?tag=cl03f-20

B000F8EUR6 is the 10 digit Amazon item number (ASIN) that every product on Amazon has in the URL.  It's also listed on every page in the product details under the ASIN field.

To link to any Amazon product just copy this link:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F8EUR6/?tag=cl03f-20

And change the ASIN to the product you want to post a deal about. 
For the Canon S310 for example it will look like this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009B0MYSQ/?tag=cl03f-20

Thanks for posting deals, thanks for your support, and thanks in advance for helping me save some time!

I think you can buy $25 gift codes.

That would be great. Can you provide any guidance?
The app and website are not helpful.
There's a "wiki-how" article that talks about asking Uber to enable gift cards. I've emailed Uber and will report back.
