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.

Huge FR risk.
Most likely seasoned cards.
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

+1
I churn my amex cl multiple times a month during these offers, but I don't with cards that are 2 to 4 years old, at least.

I guess if you have a use for the $250 SC gift card then that makes sense.

Don't understand your calculations. The $500 visa gift card is cheaper then the $200 one. Why not just buy $500 X 3 ?

The max that you get back is $250 which is 20% of $1250.
3 X $500 is $1500 plus 3 X $4.94 fee = $1514.82

I did $500+$500+$200 =$1200 + $16.36 fees= $1216.36 + $35 scgc =$ 1251.36.

I only overspent $1.36 on which I don't get 20% back. Vs spending $250 extra
And I have a low credit line on the only account that I got the Sam's offer

But u spent $2 extra in fees. That's lost money.
The extra 250 from the 500gc is literally free ms.

You can use it to buy physical gift cards @ GiftCardMall.com, they currently have a promotion $5 off Visa Gift cards with promo code: 5OFF
Savings are applied to the card fee.
You can even use the following portals to earn even more:
Topcashback & SimplyBestCoupons are both offering 1.25% cash back, previously people have gotten this when using a coupon code as well.

Minutes but sometimes if it is your first one they call to verify.
