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.

Haven't seen anyone comment on this, but if you are looking to spend $5 only on itunes, you can buy 4 songs for $0.99 (plus tax) and you will still get the $5 back.
That would be $3.96 plus tax. It's gotta be $5

Same. I was trying to figure out how to use it because there is no $5 gift option and you cannot buy your entire cart. You only have the option of buying the album or individual songs.
I chatted with a rep who confirmed that individual purchases that add up to $5 will count as well.
I tried it and the 5 charges I made posted as one charge online and I received the confirmation email that I redeemed the offer.

Its been mentioned upthread, & it doesn't necessarily need to be songs. Anything from the App Store, iTunes, or iBooks

You only get one $10 credit per merchant per card.

Amex Checkout has its own thread here

Also, its once per card per merchant. Should be self-explanatory.

my card was never charged for the 5 songs i bought from iTunes. was a pending hold for a while and now nothing. i bought them on july 29th so presumably it should be fine now no? also my iTunes account shows no tax so a total of $4.95 I thought people were reporting getting charged tax?

It's gotta be $5, $4.95 is not good. How do you know there wouldn't be tax if your card wasn't even charged ?

But the 4 songs don't meet the $5 spend requirement. Why would you get the credit? I have a few cards with the iTunes offer saved but I don't know what to do with them since minimum gift card is $10.

They usually send a congrats email moments after placing the order. I would wait a little bit longer. Then maybe call amex & ask them about it.

i don't think this is an amex issue. there is no charge showing from amex, I'm happy to take the free songs from iTunes, just asking how long it typically takes other people for the charge to post

Last time I bought a video for my daughter, my card wasn't charged until almost 2 weeks later.
