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.

I saw an interesting idea for the Newegg offer: Buy $200 eVGC at Newegg, then use it at Staples.com to buy a $300 VGC, along with $108.95 on a cc (Ink). It works. The question is does it make sense. Any math wizards here want to take a stab at this?
If you still have a Staples offer available, that would certainly make it much better.
I would use this idea to liquidate vanilla cards. It's such a bother to get rid of them

Yep, I was actually thinking of posting that as a method of buying Amazon GCs @7.5% discount.  :)

All my saved Samsung Club offers disappeared from my accounts.
I saved it to 2 cards and many AU's
Did this happen to anyone else?
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

So you're paying 1.65 cpp. Not a great deal. However, for some people, converting it into a hard card is worth it (BB, etc.).
It also reduces the risk of email info being stolen. The real problem is if staples gets moody and cancels the order where would the money go? I would assume back on the egift card but who knows....

OD is easy: Buy VGCs.
Sears is a bit more complicated.
Why not do the same thing at Sears?
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

Sears offer is online only. I guess Iz has not seen Amazon cards either at Sears stores or at sears.com.

You can, but I've had real trouble buying GC with GC at Sears. Kmart is much easier. But of course YMMV.

Sears is a bit more complicated. You can use Sears GCs at Kmart to buy Amazon GCs, and sell them for about 95% (or use them).
Where do you get 95% for amazon GC?

DP: been to two Lowe's locations. At both of them, the system crapped out after buying $450 worth of Amazon gift cards.

Yup!
