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 what is the correct way to redeem the google offer ?

I followed these instructions for Android phone and it worked for actual purchase (not credit):

Your enrolled American Express® Card ending in XXXXX must be added to your Google Play account to redeem this offer.
Here's how to add your Card to Google Play:
 
From your Android device Android Device   
1. Open Google Play App
2. Tap ‘Menu’
3. Tap ‘My account’
4. Tap ‘Add payment method’
5. Add your enrolled Card
 
From your desktop Desktop   
1. Go to play.google.com
2. Click on ‘My Account’
3. Click on ‘Add a Payment Method’
4. Add your enrolled Card

Credit did not post even though it charged as Google play
So is the consensus that you must buy actual merchandise (not a GC) to get the credit?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Does google play combine multiple purchases to a single charge?

no.
Always check the language of the Amex offer.  "in a single purchase"  vs  "a total of XX in purchases"

Why not?
His question was. Would Sam's allow to pay for a shell gift card with a Sam's gift card ? Your answer is still why not ?

Why can't you get regular credit on your itunes acct and then apply it?

Was wondering if anyone was able to get a $200 Brooks Brothers gift card with credit posting. Prices are much better at outlets than online.
