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.

I don't know when I'll be going so might be quicker for you to go yourself.

If you will do a lot of this then get the plus. If you will max it out ($25,000). You will get back $500 ,  There is a Groupon deal now on Sams membership

No, but they can only process one gift card per transaction. It seems that the Amex offer is 20% off one transaction and that's it. So limited to $500 per card offer
How do you know that they can only process 1 gift card per transaction?

Experience.
Even 1 fixed value per transaction or specifically only 1 variable

ETA: just got back from a sammies run & was able to buy 5x$200 MCGC at SC along with a $200 SCGC. Transaction went smoothly on my amex. Got home an bought a $200 mcgc from sc online using the $200 scgc, a $5 scgc i got with membership and $1.48 on my visa. looks good to go.only other question is if i can split pay when buying multiple mcgc/scgc in store.

I (and others) have been assuming that you can buy one $500 (variable) card + other items in one transaction. e.g. SC GC, $200 MC GC. This is incorrect. Nothing else can be bought after the $500 card is scanned (I'm not sure about before; I'm assuming it would be the same). So the $500 card is not the best way to max it out. The best way is with $200 MC GCs, or SC GCs. The fee on the 200 card is $6.48. You can get 6 of them for about $1238. Not bad for a $1250 max. :D

Sam's online has MC GCs, and Walmart online has VGCs and MC GCs. Both are vanilla. Which one is easier to unload? PMs welcome. Thanks. :)

You can buy $1500 Sams gift cards and then use that to buy the $200 fixed cards not the variables
. I have done it before
To max out this offer you only need to buy a $1,250 SCGC
