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.

If you buy a zappos  e-gift card, it requires you to  use the same recipient email or  the same email you entered when you try to redeem it right?

For example, when I tried to use the   zappos e-gift card my wife bought and sent to her own email, it didn't work. I entered the email she used to send it to and than I was able to use  the e-gc.

How do I sell it on GC site since it requires recipient's email to redeem the gift card?

I am trying to buy  $200 gc and sell it   to get just for points!
Thanks


My second and third question are just straight amex offer like the $20 back on $100 staples and $25 back on $250 bestbuy.

You guys just bought  any gift card to that that offer?

on 1 of my cards i'm almost sure i saved the stock up and save offer (spend $250 get back $75 *5) but after using it 5 times in home depot i didn't get the credit and after checking my account i cant find the offer saved there, i tried calling and chatting with amex but the only thing they could do is open a investigation which could take 4-8 weeks, anyone have such experience with amex? any other way to make sure i get the credit?
thanks

you should have received an email from Amex saying "Congratulations, you just used your Amex offer." for each purchase. The credit shows up in a few days.  However, it should be listed in your online account under Amex Offers, Added to Card. BTW, the offer was called "Stock Up and Save for your business."

This offer was only for Amex Business cards, as far as I can tell.  You can use it up to 5X for each card.

Since it was a considerable amount of money each time, I waited to get the first credit before I bought the rest...

Not sure why it would disappear.  Was it a business card?  Did you check on the Amex phone app?  (not that it would make a difference probably).

Good luck!

Oddly enough, I just found the BJs offer (25 off of 50 x 3 times) on a bunch of cards, that I could have sworn I had previously checked

can the BJs offer be used to buy gift cards in BJs? and if yes can I make 3 different purchases right after another and get credited for each one?

Is it worth it for only 10%? I know about BBRZ, but I'm not sure that makes it worth it.
