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.

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.).

Do GC's orders through staples earn UR points if going through UR mall? any reports of this?

If you have a Kmart nearby, I would suggest you go to Kmart to buy amazon GC with the Sears GC, Previous Experience shows that Sears is very strict about buying GC with GC, Kmart is not so, In any case YMMV
As the saying goes YMMV. As I previously posted, Kmart did not work for me.
Went to sears today, and liquidated $2.5k gift cards, by buying amazon, and MCG.
I split up the transactions into $500 each, and had no issues at all. Even had managers approval.
Life is as good as you make it...

Never earned anything when I tried, I think it was more than 18 months but I don't recall.

Is there a consensus on how best to redeem the Sears offer. I'm gonna try to get Amazon/mcgc's in Kmart or Sears, but I'm wondering if it matters whether I order plastic or electronic gift cards online. BTW, I'm hoping to redeem the offer on 50 cards before 12/31.
Do they limit order quantities or cancel orders like Newegg and Macy's have been known to do?

Looks like you can reload the gc online. Might try that so I only have 1 payment source when I go in store to Sears/Kmart.

Can you reload an e-gc? What if you buy a $50? Can you load it with another $50 x 9 times?

Does the Sears egc come with a scannable barcode or just numbers on an awfully looking page? Because I am getting the latter when I try to print.
