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.

The wiki can be updated when deals expire so that you can see all active deals at a glance.
The post doesn't get bumped, though, when the wiki is changed. Therefore with every new offer we'd need a post AND a wiki update.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Nothing wrong with that. The way things run around here you'll have a whole bunch of posts with "please update wiki with xxx..." :P

It should go by purchase date
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Any verdict on which GCs work VS which don't?

I just used an AMEX card for the Staples.com offer. I got the email and the charge is still pending. But the offer has disappeared from the "saved offers" section and it's not in the "money saved" tab either. Is this typical?

I once made a purchase at Walmart on the last day of the offer. The charge was finalized the following day. The credit didn't post. I had to call in and explained the situation, and they gave it to me manually as a credit.

Just checked my email. I actually did NOT get an email for this card (I did for others). But I'm positive that this card had the Staples offer. Should I just wait or call AMEX now?

When I look at my offers in the Bluebird Android app, I only see one. My account has been open over a year. Is this the norm?

I assume that a GC order from Staples now (a few hours from the deadline) would work, correct? I know it goes by purchase date, but is does it ever post a few hours later? I assume it's fine, just confirming.
I know that either way I should be able to get the credit manually regardless, but I don't want too many questions as it's quite a few orders...

I got the email from Amex right away, you shouldn't have an issue

That you'd hate it and find less offers, use less offers, and cost Amex less money.
