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'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.

+1 I had 9 offers in total and bought 2 as a test run. Going to buy the next batch of 7 now.

My transaction posted today for my Staples purchase. The transaction details specifically say "VISA 200 GIFT CARD" on my Amex account. For those of you whose credit posted, did it say that for you?

Mine just says staples and I got the credits
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

no staples gift card
staples eGC can be printed and use in person, or used on line.  They come almost immediately.
The eGCs can even have a cute Staples picture or your own picture used.
No benefit to physical GCs.

Same thing...got the credit
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Only had the offer on 1 AU card out of 10 cards total. Thats why it was so low. But maximized that one IMHO.

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...

Update: The charges have re-appeared under posted. I do have the CATEGORY: MERCHANDISE & SUPPLIES - INTERNET PURCHASE / VISA 200 GIFT CARD

On the "My Savings" tab, the Staples entry says redeemed but under "My Offers" it still says Saved.

Hopefully the credits post soon, will update.
