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.

True, but if they're saying that, they may go full Sam's Club on us once they figure out what's going on.

Just found a tweet from @airbnbhelp from 6/4/2015. "Great Questions! For now each reservation can only accept one gift card code at a time."

I'm not saying this is all true. But it's too risky for me to try. If there's someone that frequently makes airbnb reservations and therefore has a use for multiple gift cards, they can try.

Also, it seems that you can't send yourself a gift card. But I assume you can create a dummy account to send the gift card from.

Is there any way to go back to the old site for Amex? I feel like I've seen it mentioned that it's possible somewhere.

I saw reports on redditt that they added $300 to their account but they didnt say if they were able to book using the full amount. Note that you cant apply a gc to the account that purchased the gc so I guess you would need two accounts (assuming you need an account to buy a gc).

If my understanding of how airbnb gcs work is correct, you should be able to buy 10 of these (for example) and load them all into your account and have all the funds apply to a single reservation. Then it should be possible to use this offer to get 50% off any stay
Check giftcardgranny.com
the airbnb offer claims its good for gift cards, would this be a good opportunity to buy gift cards to resell ?
What's the best way to utilize the air bnb w/o flying?
Please keep all discussion in this thread

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Can someone please confirm that they got the credit for airbnb gift cards,

Thanks!
Please keep the discussion of all offers in this thread
There was talk in the other Amex thread that they won't combine them.
what don't people understand about that thread being exclusively for reporting amex offers and no discussion

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Guy on reddit says an interesting work around to stack 2 offers


The wording is confusing, I'm actually wondering if booking with a gift card would still trigger the credit as long as there is more than $100 remaining to be charged on the credit card, in which case you could use the offer twice on the same booking as long as it's more than $200 (buy a $100 GC with one Amex card, use it on the $200 booking and pay the rest with another Amex card). This would be a nice way around their limitation of one gift card per booking.

If you're looking for it, it's right there, but I can kind of see how people's eyes might just glaze right over it, to get to the text of the post.

Kind of like when you read an email are are like "huh?", then you notice the title and the whole thing makes sense.

I'm not saying it's if it's okay or not, just saying that maybe it's not that people don't understand the point of the thread.

I actually searched on the forum and this was the only thread I found regarding the Amex airbnb deal,
