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.

You beat me to my defense, but yes, refill and I were referring to the Neiman Marcus online offer not the Samsclub offer.

I chatted with a rep online, and she told me that the AMEX credit had been authorized, but NM split it up when it posted for some reason. She said if the credit doesn't show up within 7-10 business days to contact them again.

This has happened to me dozens of times, if the offer says one or more transactions it doesnt need to post as one $200+ transaction. It could be 200 $1 transactions (or with the AMEX Everyday 20 $10 transactions).

Thanks for the info!

I used all mine, but some might want to try the AS portal if they've still got them...

Hard to say, but Cartera portals have paid out recently. I bought a $500 NM e-GC on 12/24 when United portal had 18x, and it tracked a couple weeks ago.

I just purchased 2x $200 e-GC a few minutes ago. Oddly enough, even though the order went through on NM's website, I didn't get the congrats email from AMEX. When I checked my AMEX account, there's no pending charge for either purchase. I hope this is because the late hour and that it won't affect the tracking.

Haven't had a problem, it should show up in offers though.

It doesn't show up as redeemed, the rest do...
The only thing i can think of was bec these cards were replaced last week and the number has changed

Also never got email confirmation for those cards after using offer so thinking it didn't go through...

Re the Verizon deal (25 off 100 up to 2x/card) - I've been using it for my FIOS bill. My contract is up in 12 months. I have enough cards / promotions for more credit than the remaining time on my contract.

Anybody have advice if it's a bad idea to pay up so much on FIOS that I'll still have credit when the contract is up?

Have you gotten credit? Because it didn't work for me.
IDK if it's a bad idea, but FIOS will not let you have a negative balance greater than $500 at a time.

I paid through the verizon.com website. The 1st credit came through. I did 4 more today. We'll see...

I bought a lot of NM $200 e-GC starting 1/19 late night until early yesterday evening. None of the gift cards have shipped yet. Gift cards purchased on the afternoon of 1/19 came via email about 3-4 hrs later. Hopefully this is just a delay due to large volume.

You mean how am I liquidating? I sold some on the various resellers but I'm in no rush to liquidate right now. Prices dropped, but they'll probably come up later or holiday season. But I have used a lot in the past to buy the occasional expensive item from the stores. Some NM stores sell LV purses, for example.
