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.

interesting, because ink will still give you 5ppd on staples egift cards through cashstar.
Probably Cashstar is coded as office supply store but it's not Staples

Has anyone ever noticed that they get different targeted offers depending on where they log in from?

I just noticed that if I log in on Chrome I only have 20 available offers, but if I go in Incognito mode I have 88

It's interesting that when i checked for the bbb offer on all my added users, certain family members didn't have it on multiple accounts and this is not the first time that this happened. What does amex have against those people?

One of the bb&b's that I went to originally let me do it without calling in.
As I'm walking out, the manager tells me next time I'll have to call them all in, since a bunch of guys have come into his store asking to do the same thing, and hes heard from other bb&b that they've experienced the same exact scenario. #ddfeffect
Life is as good as you make it...

What are they asking Amex, if the card is stolen? Are they also checking ID (in which case you can't use a spouse's card)?

They called a automated number and entered in my credit card info for a phone authorization of $25 on each card. Then she saw how many cards I had. She said forget it and just went on without this process,
Yes they checked ID.

So the max you can buy in one transaction is $600, because the system limits to 25 swipes.

I don't understand. What are they accomplishing with this call, more than a regular swipe?
