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.

Yes. No.
If the 2nd spend is done in the qualifying period, it should get the credit.  If not, call.
Thanks.

I remembered Dan mentioning that You can lookup the merchant code on Visa’s site but I it's not showing WAWA in Howell...? Also is there a similar site for Amex?

This offer was on all my cards when signed in on phone app, but not on any on computer.
Anyone had this experience before

For that Air travel purchase offer (Spend $300 or more, get $50 back), is it possible to use multiple cards for a single ticket, let's say with United? Looking for flights for my parents (ticket is about 800$), so if I can split it across 2 cards, then I can save $100.
It seems you will get the credit by adding to a TravelBank.

What problem might they face ?

Read somewhere online that some airlines might deny boarding if the actual credit card is not shown (or the person in whose name the credit card is not traveling/present), dont know how much truth to that statement though.

I was referring to united, but I assume all airlines have one way or another to buy gift cards.

Wawa on County line doesn't except CC for any GC. Anyone know of any "gas stations" nearby that sell store GC's?

I made a Google purchase on 7/29 on one of my AU cards for $31.XX. I got the AMEX email thanking me for using the promo. Unfortunately, Google Express then made an adjustment on my purchase and reduced the price by $1.70, so the final charge is now $29.40. Target shipped all the items I ordered, no substitutions, so I'm not sure where the adjustment came from. The AMEX Offer promo has been dead for a week now. Is it worth contacting AMEX to try to get the $15 statement credit? How much success do you think I'll have? This is for an AU card on OBC.

Chat with them. If you're lucky, they'll apply the credit right away.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
