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.

Are there any hard-coded limits on VGCs at Lowe's
Yes, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what they are. Definitely seems to be some store wide velocity limit rather than register or cc specific.

Have had very mixed results. Most (but not all) of the time, the first $1k goes through. Second $1k usually (but not always) fails to activate some of the GC's.

Cashiers and managers always chalk it up to "bad GC's" and struggle to get the register to close the transaction. Typically takes ~30 min to close the transaction and issue a refund.

I've never done more than $2k in a visit.

Only if I spaced it out. I don't usually have time to hang around, though. I once did $1200 and the last gc didn't activate. So I keep it to 1k per transaction.

Any idea if AmexOffers has any promotion for buying @ Canon.com?

A. That’s a lot easier said than done.
B. I don’t think I can be logged in to different accounts in the same browser.

Its annoying, because I've specifically made separate logins for many of my cards because I found the Muti-Tab method annoying, and now it seems to be the only way to do it.

Yup, same here. Worked a couple hours last week combining them all into 1 login

If I have one login for all cards in one person's name (Primary and AU), is there any need to do a/t different than the old fashioned multi tab method?

I don't think so. I was able to save a few offers on a few cards in the same name on the same login. Unfortunately it wasn't the login with the most cards :(
