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.

YMMV ... but generally yes. I had to drag my wife with me to SC in December to do some of the purchases. And I'll have to drag her again in January too.

This is how a scan and go purchases came up for me on discover card , but in the summery it did show the location where it was bought.
And I did try to buy fixed and variable cards and the scan and go app did not allow it. But iirc someone was able to pay for it at self checkout

I have a login with cards from 3 different accounts. Account A  had previously the sams offer, I have another login with some au cards from account B and C that just got the offer.  if I remove account A cards from the first login may it show up on the cards left or I have to remove the cards that did not have it , I hope my question is understood

If removing will help here, I believe either way will achieve the same result.

I've found that it depends on the manager

A lot depends on the manager. The first Sam's Club I went to for this deal went as follows:
1. Tried a regular register to buy GC (MCGC and/or SCGC) and they wouldn't do it.
2. Tried customer service and they wouldn't do it, Customer Service Manager came over and said they can't sell GC (any kind of GC) using a credit card as payment.
3. Spoke to store manager (at length) and she said they do not accept CC for any type of GC (this is obviously nonsense as I'm pretty sure they accept CC for generic GCs like Starbucks, etc in the course of a regular purchase by a customer) due to "fraud prevention". She was very nice, but firm and unyielding on this issue.

So I went to a different Sam's Club.

Gotta be friendly and honest. I have a SC asset protection manager who is holding a box of gc for me. She even emailed other areas apms that if I come in they should let me go, however it never came to that, the ones I have been to have all been cool.
She said she has a rep from square trade who does the warranty on their electronics who all the SC people know and the guy was in PA and they didn't let him buy gc with cc even though they all knew him. It's very much YMMV.
Fwiw corporate policy is that you can. It passes me off when they say corporate policy is you can't. If you make an executive store level decision, then own up to it. /rant
