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.

What story usually works, but for this offer that's a really hard sell! I'm getting multiple $500 gift cards. That's a lot for an office gift, no?
This isn't an FR.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

So u tell them your selling or getting money orders from the cards? And they are okay with that?y

Why would you ever go into such detail for someone who scans items for a living?
If you're in the financing or e-commerce business, and need capital to grow, we should talk...

Being someone who swipes items for a living, they felt a connection and started a deep conversation

I wonder whether it's the number of offers saved, redeemed or the dollar amount that kicks the cap in.

1) it said 49 left. Did not say a dollar amount
2) There is no way for them to know How many people who saved it will actually use it. And for How much .
3) if its saved already to a account it will not disappear until used or expired.

But they know the total dollar amount that's already been claimed... and they know the budget range... they absolutely know how many saved it... statistics and past deals are a guide to how many will use it... this is not rocket science

Exactly. So they have an estimate for the money each one will generate for the cardholder and therefore have a number of offers that are available.

Precisely. It's simple math. And every deal must have a similar limit... unless a merchant's margins are so wide... like TheBouqs.com or 7ForAllMankind... where, even if they set an artificial limit, they're making money either way.

I'm not agreeing with you.

I agree that they have an initial expectation of cost per saved offer, however that leads to an actual fixed number of available offers IMHO. I don't think they change that based on how much is spent/redeemed. Although, it makes me wonder how that plays in given the multiple waves of the offer being available.

If they don't do any real math, then it's shocking. But perhaps not so shocking, since WalMart did pay $3 billion for Jet.com

Back to the original argument. What did that number represent ?  I say offers saved
