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.

Any reason that I shouldn't use the offer for "Spend $200+ on Amex GCs and get $10 back" to hit spend threshold? Would then take the Amex GC to CVS and buy Visa/MC GCs to liquidate with Serve. Figure that the $10 statement credit would offset (and a bit more) the GC purchase fee at CVS. Any reason I shouldn't do this? Am I missing something?

Are you sure CVS will accept AGC for VGC? I would think it's really YMMV.
BTW, I once tried to buy a Simon Mall VGC with AGC. The very brilliant clerk said that it's "illegal" to do that. Once I saw how knowledgeable he was, the next time I was there and I asked him what the PIN of the VGC is, and he said "there is no PIN", I just said "oh, really? Thank you very much", in deference to his wisdom... ;D

That's why I was asking. Wanted to know if anyone has had issues in the past. Is it specifically a YMMV with CVS, or any convenience/supermarket that sells GCs?

Everywhere; I once had trouble in Shop Rite, besides in the mall where it's "illegal".

Ok thanks. Guess I'll just pay the GC fees.

It is ymmv.  Not hard coded,  but some cashiers don't allow (for any of a million reasons)

You sound like a guy that likes to visit Family Dollar everyday and have to make a bunch of calls once or twice a month when something gets messed up with your VGC  :D

Once you load your Amazon GC into your Amazon account, it is consolidated. Or are you asking a different question? (like can you get a $120 GC or a 180 GC, etc)
That.
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

That.
You can get any amount. Take a look at the Amazon GC page, and you'll see.
