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.

Does anyone really know what works? The credits haven't posted yet...

On the SD thread, one member posted a positive credit, though not on gift cards.

Good to know, thanks. Although I (as well as many others here, I'm sure) am waiting on confirmation on GCs.

If you're not a member will you get the 10% markup x2?

I buy $20 SAMs club gift and get charged 10% fee, will I then be charged 10% again when paying with the gift card?

No its like giving up on the opportunity to buy a $10 wm gc for $20
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

with the groupon it really only costs $25 as they give you a $20 gc included.... and if you are signing up over 25 cards it is worth it to become a member instead of paying the extra 10% on each purchase....

unless you value the other coupons that it comes with, why should I pay $45 (and get back $20) and have the free $40 (from the 2 cards you would have used),
Verse using 2 cards and only paying $5..

When I'm saying use 2 cards, I mean free $20 per card,
I don't see the value in paying for wm/SC gc when you have so much free...

you lost me
sorry

you have a choice either pay $26 (groupon) and get $40 in wm gc (the 2credits you would have used for membership) for a profit of $14  or you pay $5 (45-40 credit) and get no wm gc for a net loss of $5

How does it work once you purchase the membership on Groupon? Don't you have to activate it in the store?

seems so... I just purchased it didn't realize this. It doesn't seem there are any sams clubs in or near Brooklyn?

"Starting 4/23/2015, present printed
Groupon at the Sam's Club Member
Services Desk along with valid photo ID."

In the email confirming my enrollment in the Sam's Club offer, Amex gave instructions:

Not a Sam's Club member? Shop online with a guest account or join Sam's Club. Here's how:

1.   Visit SamsClub.com and add items to your cart.
2.   When you're done shopping, view your cart and begin checkout.
3.   You'll be taken to the Sign In/Register page. On the lower right side of the page, click either “Create a Guest Account” or “Join Now” to become a member.
4.   Remember to use your enrolled Card ending in XXXXX when you checkout to get your $20 statement credit. This offer is only available online - American Express is not accepted in Sam’s Clubs.
 
Click below to get started and explore SamsClub.com. Get your one-time $20 statement credit by using your enrolled American Express® Card to spend a total of $20 or more at SamsClub.com by 9/30/15.

Just confirming with all here that my math isn't off:
I'm not a SC member, and have 6 Amex cards, so it's worth it for me to just pay the extra 10% as a non-member (i.e., just getting $108 of products and not $120), and not getting a membership (which would cost $25). Right?
