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.

I was at a local SC today and could find any fixed-value 200s ... oh well, next time.

I bought 5 500s from SC on Sunday and I'm looking at the pile now and there are only4 but I have receipts for 5. They were hidden in my car but my car has been in valet twice so either it was stolen or lost. Is there anything I can do to get a replacement card?

What time of day do Amex offer credits usually post to the account (online)?
ETA: I'm referring to a credit to the account, after it was redeemed.

Edited:

3 offers:

A. $25/2.5k pts, $100 spend with verizonwireless
B. 10%/1k pts, $100 spend with wireless
C. 10%/1k pts, $100 spend with cable

A can be used on wireless, and not on Fios.
B can be used on both wireless and Fios.
C can be used on FIOS. Wireless is TBD.
Paging Zagguru. Were you able to triple dip using these 3 offers (A B and C) on verizon wireless?

When they had VZW $25 off $100 and 10% off wireless, they did stack.

None of the credits for transactions I did on the 14th have posted, although the charges posted yesterday.

Usually, the offer shows as redeemed, and that has not happened either.

Maybe this is the way they fix the bleeding? I am sure they did not intend for this offer to be so generous.

I know. The question is if you could also stack C (cable offer) and triple dip when paying wireless.
The hava meena this would work is wireless offer works when paying VZFIOS, so maybe cable offer works when paying VZW.

Did anybody try using the SC amex offer online or on app and see if it actually works. In theory if buying in store on app may work,  it may be possible that app orders are coded differently.

If someone can confirm it dosnt work please do say. If not I will try it on a cheap item and see what happens, I will sacrifice one of my cards for the cause

Why would you give up $230 or so... unless you have an unlimited amount of offers?

He's giving up the fees on one gc.  If it doesn't credit, he'll still have the offer available for in-store purchase.

If it credits then he'll lose the card - he said he would try it on a small purchase, so obviously would not be getting the benefit of the full $250 credit on a $1,250 purchase.

FYI remember that the purchase must be at least $100

My amex simply cash was targeted but my credit limit is too low to utilize this deal :( called in to make an overpayment but amex said no.

Any ideas/suggestions how to get around this roadblock?

What will happen if I just send them in a overpayment check will it post or be denied?
