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.

Wow, amazing! BH. Think it had anything to do with the BBB complaint?

lets see it could be one of several things i did over the last few hours......

1) bombarded this guy cid (****) with proof that what i did was nothing wrong
2) sent email to Chesky
3) tweeted Chesky
4) send email to bbb@airbnb.com
5) send complaint to bbb
6) and i think this is the reason.......tweeted airbnbhlp my issue

either way i am super happy and would like to post the email i received from Jared, who was a real upstanding guy as opposed to Cid.

I had a great experience with airbnb help twitter handle - the system wasn't letting me load gcs after initially loading $400. They loaded an extra $500 of gcs for me. Everything stacked perfectly when I booked the stay (assuming they don't cancel me).

I hope they won't. At least they're aware of it now.

You could buy Amazon, which is a pretty solid deal.
Yes, Amazon is pretty good, but I have more than 10 cards, which would amount to $2,000 Amazon GCs, and I already have about $1,000 in the Amazon "bank".  :D

Doubt it, as they have a cell phone offer as well.
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

I've checked a bunch of Best By stores (in FL, GA, and CA) and haven't found a single one that carries VGC.
Look for this
Its best buy branded. But its a visa card

Has anyone actually used their Airbnb balance to book anything?

I have a reservation for January that I've already been charged for but customer service told me they can change the charge out to another form of payment. Of course the guy also said only one gift card could be used per reservation so who knows.

As I understand,
Account balance and gift Card is 2 different things,.
Even if you can only use one gc, you can use how ever much balance you want
(I don't actually have an account)
What's your plan for yud shvat?

From what it seemed, the way you use a gift card is by loading it to your account, not using it separately.
