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 think that's the case here, because it does allow me to create a separate login for that card, it just does not allow me to add it to an existing login. I have way to many cards to have a separate for each card

Well, definitely don't call them to tell them why you want to do this now!  :-)

I kept checking my Amex offers recently, and never got the 2nd round (I had it on a bunch of SPG cards in Nov.). I just saw buried in the comments on DDMS that Dan said to delete those cards that had it from the online profile, and I did so and got it on a bunch of cards. Anyway, in case anyone else missed that point, give it a shot! :D

Nice, comment on the DDMS post.

Call them, and depending on how many cards you have, be ready to be on the phone for at least an hour.

i am trying to add additional cards to a login but i get a error
We're sorry.
We are unable to register your Card at this time. Please call customer service at 1-800-AXP-1234 for further assistance.
 i have to make a separate login for each card, why is that? and how can i fix that?

Just had that yesterday. I had to approach registering the card backward. What I mean is, if you first logged into your account and then tried adding the card, do the reverse by first confirming the card is received (without logging in) and then adding to existing login when offered. Or if you tried it the second way, instead do it the first way. Hope this was clear; it worked for me.

Sams club store number name and then -250
It is tagged to the store you made the purchase from. Gotta look which store credited when I bought 500 in one and 750 in another

It is guessing... mostly because I simply can't see WalMart, a company as cheap as it is, and as hard as it bargains, eating a 20% loss... when we know Amex is the one trying to make up for having lost Costco... So it's more an educated guess than just a guess... I'd suspect this for BJ's and any other big box wholesale store... but WalMart is infamous for pinching every last penny and driving a hard bargain... they are not known for giving folks 20% off their already low prices

If you're in the financing or e-commerce business, and need capital to grow, we should talk...

The theory is to get new member sign ups which multiple stores have told me has happened. You forget, we are in the minority. Most people don't have as many cards or do MS. For Walmart the benefits of new membership are worth the loss.
The fact that it's only biz cards is telling as well, since businesses that buy from warehouse clubs buy a lot. I've seen people walking out with literally hundreds of soda bottles or milk etc. They buy thousands of dollars at a shot.

I hear you loud and clear... I can say this with slightly more certainty... When WalMart/Amex see folks with 100 (or even 20/30) cards/AUs taking advantage of this offer to buy cash equivalents at a discount... and it costing them $25K to sign up that new member, someone might just be getting canned.  :-O
