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 I was just in best buy in Howell, the second they saw me with gift cards they called a manager her name was Britney she came running over to firmly tell me the store limit on gift cards is 1 card with a maximum of $200 value!

This is shortly after I called in to the store and they said theirs a $6,000 daily limit!

Last year they where pretty decent aside for the freehold store.

Anyone else have such experiences?
Yes, they've gotten difficult there. But every time the limits are different. I found Freehold much better.

Had the same experience, told me you can't buy GC with the visa ones, only actual CC

They didn't cut me off so quickly. I don't remember the details, but it doesn't really matter, as these things keep changing.

The 25 off 100 on vzw is 2x, but the $10 or 1k off $100 on any wireless (which could be on same card), is 3x.

Anyone know if you have to wait for ITunes charges to post before switching to next credit card?
I have about another 15 cards with the offer and it's taking days for charges to post...?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

IME you don't have to wait. Why should you have to?

Apple processes a lot of iTunes purchases in batches, probably to save on processing fees.

When you change the card, it will trigger the charge on the previous card.
Also, ime, even if it says you can't add the card, click done again and it will be added.

If amount spent becomes less than the requirement, you lose the rebate.
