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.

-1 I've had a number of physical GC orders cancelled. I've tried different cards, different times, not ordering one right after the other.
So your account might have been flagged. Try another account, that worked for me.

I've had a bunch of orders go through, and a bunch cancelled. I was just saying, I don't think the physical GCs are automatically safe from cancellation.

Was that after ordering eGCs?

I had the same thing. Some went through, some were cancelled. Thats why I tried the physical GCs and then had a similar result.

What are you ordering?
So far only physical GCs. I've had 3 orders work, one delivered so far, but they cancel everything else almost immediately.

When Best Buy cancels orders, how long does it generally take for them to stop doing that? And, do you need to stop placing orders in order for it to stop? Thanks.

Do the physical Walmart GCs need to be activated prior to use or they come pre-activated and ready to use?

Thanks.

Heads up! You can only buy 1 of this item at a time.
 Does that mean ordering through different names will cause me problems? (under the same household?)

Finally got all walmart gc orders to go through. Didn't know how tough it was going to be. Seems like the main thing they track is the IP address. I used different computers at different locations and it worked fine. Also waiting until the next day to reorder on the same one worked.

No its per order. Sometimes you can place duplicate orders 1 after another without a problem. I think it depends alot on the item

I called in yesterday and had them verify my account and had them note that all my canceled orders were legit. I was then able to purchase 5 eGC yesterday 1 at a time and none were canceled. I would order it and once it was delivered via email I purchased the next.

You are talking about Wal-Mart?
Once I verified my account. I was averaging between 2-3 cards per minute. None got canceled.
