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 have gotten spoonfed. If you can talk nicely and not get insulted when someone says something them you will get helped.
You get spoonfed by building trust that you're responsible. The kind of person screaming at someone on a forum for not helping him because he feels entitled will scream at a store manager for not helping him due to the same entitlement syndrome; instead of politely saying thank you and coming back later; and ruin a good location (to give an example). Someone who doesn't sense the sensitivity something and why someone wouldn't jump to spoonfeed it on a public forum also wouldn't attempt to handle it as delicately as the fragility requires. Those are the people that it would be irresponsible and wrong to help.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Both. Matched names even under 5k.but probably could swap
Be careful with swapping, the cashiers are on their toes lately. My guess is the management is putting pressure on them (cashiers) in the popular Jersey locations.

No. Chip is about not using the actual cc# at POS. Think of the hacks and breaches that exposed cc#s.

Lindon was fully stocked
No ID
Did more than 10k
When I was on my last cc a manager came to ask if I did +10k
I said just about, so she asked me to stop,
I said can I just finish this card, she said yes:)
Thank you AMEX, thank you Sam's club
Been an amazing 3 months:)

which form did they make you fill out?
The reason ppl don't like it, is because your 'informing the IRS that you spent cash'
But it was spent via cc, why cash?

This should invalidate the form.

 When I filled out the form they erased the word cash and wrote credit. I believe if it's not correct form then it can't be used against you.

that was my argument with them
(In a non NYC area one)
They 'knew' that I need to fill out a form
But couldn't find it, as it doesn't exist

They asked me for my drivers license as well,
I just put name, DOB, and address
And they put down my membership number,
And wrote cc and 10k+
No other really info
(Can help them nothing..)
They said they are not reporting it to the IRS they want it 'just in case'
