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.

Interesting thing happened. 3 of my cards had the 10% credit for insurance (up to $30 credit) and I charged ~$300 to all 3 cards within a day of each other. All went toward the same State Farm account (different cars, same login). The credit posted within 2 days for 2 of the cards, but the 3rd card still hasn't been credited (purchase made 11/18). I chatted with AMEX on Monday and the CSR said that the offer was never loaded to my card. But when I check "My Offers", I see that offer still clearly there and it is active. They asked me to upload screenshots of that offer in my account so I did that. I'll chat with them again in a few days. Has anybody ever experienced this with any offer?

I had similar. I used the insurance offer, but it never went to redeemed even though I got the credit

Charge has posted already or just authorized?

Are you sure you saved the offer on the third card before you made the charge?
Did all the charges go through the same way? (All with State Farm's website or all by phone?) When you look at the posted transactions, do they all appear identical, including the extra information that appears below when you click the individual transaction?

100% positive it was saved before I made the State Farm purchase. All 3 were made on the same website login, all 3 for car insurance payment via the same screen. The issue here isn't that the charge doesn't meet the offer requirement, what's surprising is that the chat rep said he doesn't see the offer loaded to my account even though I can still see it.

Amazon GC credit is nearly as good as cash to me. So I keep them and load them to my account. It took me a good while to use all my Amazon GC credit from the great Smart&Final deal (50% off) last year, and I still have a bunch of Home Depot credit from that one (should have done more amazon and less Home Depot in retrospect).

Doesn't matter. As long as swipe happens first, posting can happen later.
