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.

Not if you're selling it to someone else...
Raise your price to account for the risk?

True.


Anyone have experience making a payment to an acct with a (substantial) credit on it? I'm getting stopped at any $ amount.

How much is substantial? I just added to an account that had over $200 in credit.

>$1K


I asked for a balance credit check, maybe I'll just wait for that to come through before I try again.

I got the "Congratulations" from Amex for each Staples order I made. Somehow the charges have disappeared from pending on each of my cards and not posted. The offer went from "Redeemed" back to "Saved" And Staples just sent me an email saying they shipped the Visa GCs. So stay tuned...

In my savings section it is counting the Staples order I made on 1/12, so that is a positive sign.  Waiting for the credit to post, the charge posted today after pending for awhile.

How did you make so little
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Seems from FM that you don't.

Ummmm...3 x $206.95 = $620.85 - $25 = $595.85 for $600 in GCs plus 621 SPG points. How do you make more? By only buying one? Thats a waste of perfectly good SPG points. But i guess cash is slightly better than the value of the points 3.3cents vs 2 cents pp.

I'm guessing avromie7 asked you that because many of us had the offer on multiple cards (including AUs).  So, as Dan described on DDMS, each $100 vgc will cost you only $81.95.  Multiply $18.05 x each card, plus points....  $4.15 profit seemed low.
