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.

Staples didn't work.
Ah fair. Staples didn't work for staples EGC, but did for other EGC (ebay, target and Nordstrom).

Bottom line when it comes to amex offers working for EGC when terms say no, it's YMMV.

Are you positive DD was charged by Cashstar? and that it worked?

Yup, that was a quick one. You think they removed it or it really filled up that fast?

So I remember it posting as 'dunkin donuts through cashstar' or something like that on amex, but when I go to my statement now it says "dunkin donuts egift". Weird. However I am POSITIVE it went through cashstar. I went for it without expecting much but it worked and I did dozens. When you go to buy an egift on dd.com it takes you to dunkindonuts.cashstar.com.

ETA - My charge posted as "dunkin donuts cashstar"... I posted in this thread... can't explain why it says "dunkin donuts egift" now when I look back.

Just did split tender for vgc at BB&B. Seems like a non issue, although after a few GC's, they didn't let anymore, so as lz said YMMV.
Life is as good as you make it...

Some data points on the new offers:
Best Buy - My local store has variable VGCs, and variable Ebay GCs, so I bought a $200 VGC and a $45 EGC for a total of $250.95. They said the max is 3 transactions per day, but obviously it's not hard coded so YMMV.
Wow, what a difference 48 hours makes. The same cashier from 2 days ago who let me do 3 transactions said that a lot of people have been buying GCs, so they now limit it to one (VGC + Ebay GC), and do not allow split tender, and need to see ID. I asked him if I should go to another cashier (before you yell at me: he suggested that himself 2 days ago!), and he said to go to a different BB, because "the manager has his eyes on you".

+1 by bb&b but huge ymmv. Depends on cashiers mood... Plus by the way you get bestbuy points for gc purchases so make sure you put your phone number in.

interesting, because ink will still give you 5ppd on staples egift cards through cashstar.
