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.

Of course it ships today, so stupid, day after the offer ends
I think you'll still get the credit automatically. It's happened to me before with amex offers. The system is pretty good at tracking this stuff.

In my experience with Jet the purchase date posts so you should have no problem getting the credit, even if its not automatic.

I had it saved on a bunch of cards. But did not figure out a way to cash in on it. Why was it not discussed here ?

It was. Basically get your significant other to sign up and use her services $200 at a time. Problem is you get a 1099...Unless you're in certain brackets and far enough from the next one, it didn't make sense.

I assume it involved either registering yourself as a freelancer or having a friend/SO do it. You can set things up that have payments based on milestones and after $500 they only take 10%

Problem is you get a 1099.
I would think you could offset the revenue reported in the 1099 with the "expenses" reported on your Amex statements. You could say you're in the (spend) manufacturing business :)

Of course, I'm no accountant - we have a dedicated thread for that.

According to my cpa the expenses can offset the 1099, also they only give a 1099 after 20k...

If this really applies to you
they only give a 1099 after 20k...
Then was it really a gold mine?

You were right - all charges posted on purchase date in July, credit should apply now

First of all, I'm assuming that is 14 orders of BB GCs not 14 GCs. Second, even if it was 14 GCs not 14 orders, it had to be separate orders since you can't split tender online so in order to take advantage of the amex offer more than once it would have to be separate orders.
