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.

The $200 ebay GCs are back!

After buying my second I got this:

Quote
This email notification has been sent to inform you that one or more items placed on the below specified order has exceeded its quantity limit allowance within its 48-hour quantity restriction period.
Quote
Our records indicate that the above item(s) was either previously purchased under the same customer account, using the same credit account, or ship to the same address and, with that purchase, the quantity limit for the above item(s) has now been exceeded.
Is this enforced (that I need a separate shipping address) or is creating a new newegg account but using the same shipping address enough? Technically it gets shipped to e-mail so I don't know if they are referring to the e-mail address (easy to make unique) or a physical one with this requirement. Hmm.

End of year housekeeping
Reminder to use the following offers exp 12/31

Now the Q's:
Does the Amazon offer work on "Amazon.com Gift Card Balance Reload" ?

Does the Staples offer still work on Visa GC's?

Additionally, does anyone have good ideas how i can spend the following offers? any good GC'S?
Newegg $25 off $200
BestBuy $20 off $199
JCP $10 off $50
Dollar General $5 off $25
Advanced Auto parts $20 off $50
Toys R Us $5 off $25
Shoprite $20 off $75 (None near me)

Any tricks with the $25 off $45 Sam's club. is it only for Membership?
does anyone know of a better offer it can be combined with?
Here's $10 GC http://www3.samsclub.com/best-deals/membership-deals
Anyone know about a $20 one floating around? Someone had posted one earlier but i cant find it

TIA
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Total noob with this kind of thing and I would like to try, but first a question, it seems that it would only work if I had many online accounts. What if I had hundreds of cards in 1 log in?
This works with multiple cards in on login, didn't try hundreds,   please try and report back.

New idea for Newegg.
Buy Kaspersky for $50. Use coupon EMCKNNN65 for $9.99 off.(end 12/28)  Free shipping with Shoprunner. Get a $50 rebate.
Amex spending is a total of $200.  Now find another $150.
Newegg
rebate info/ form


I found another.  A program for $25. with a $25 rebate. Shoprunner.
Acronis True Image 2015
rebate info
$125 to go.


And another one. Use coupon EMCKNKV35 to bring the price down to $30.  Then get a $30 rebate.
Corel WordPerfectOffice X7 Home & Student
rebate info
$95 to go.

Has anyone figured out a way around newegg's "one Carnival Cruise GC per 48 hours" issue? I've tried different names, same address and doesn't work. Tried different names, different account, different CC, different address and still waiting on the order. First order came through in less than half an hour. Anyone know a way to "trick" their system?

I used The shoprite offer 3 times already and received the credits. But it's still showing up as not used. Will I get the credit again?
I just got a 4th credit for the Shoprite deal.  Pic attached.  I still have more cards to use 3x, so I won't be testing 5th and 6th credits yet, but this might not have an upper cap (like last winter's Verizon deal).

On the negative side, my go-to store for converting SR gcs into VGCs no longer has VGCs on the rack. Another Shoprite near me makes you go to CS for them, but then they don't let you use GCs to purchase.  Will keep my fingers cross for the return of VGCs at the 1st store, where cashiers don't seem to care how you pay.

Nice! Thanks for the update. Too bad the offer is almost over.

In your experience does Shoprite allow multiple credit card payments per order? Just looking to save on the Amex/Visa gift card fees. Also, for situations where my grocery bill is over $150.

Yes, I can now confirm multiple cards at shop rite as well. I just bought a $450 Amex gift card with 6 $75 charges (plus 5.95 on one of them).

Why amex instead of visa?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

My first introduction to DDMS was a 2013 Shoprite Amex deal ($30 off $150). Dan's advice back then was to split payment for 3 $200 VGCs across 4 Amex cards to maximize the promo.  SR employees were a bit amused/confused, but everything went fine and I've been hooked on this site ever since.  :D

You can't use multiple cards on Walmart
