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.

Worst case you call Amex and show proof of order placed before the deadline

Do they get an authorization right away when you submit the order? If so, you can also print / screen shot the pending transaction.

Yes. Pending charges came up right away. After a few days it fell off

T&C does not exclude GC, and nothing about charge posted date, looks like we're good.

any good use of the Exxon offer? seem to have it on all cards, but I don't have a car which means I never pay for gas.
Anyone know if there is a way to put on account for future use?

Ime they arrived later. Not all even arrived. I called and they asked some questions to confirm that I am really the person who ordered the cards. And they activated all my cards over the phone

Has anyone experimented with the $60 off $300 Delta offer?

Have the offer on Biz Plat AU card and wondering if I could stack the $200 annual credit with the offer by purchasing 4x $50 gc's + $100 in airfare.

Yes, I know gc's are officially excluded.

Doubtful since the for the offer you have to have 1 purchase of $300+ if it charges as one purchase, I doubt it'll trigger the TC. CMIIW but 4x $50 may not even work in 1 purchase

Ordered SC GCs on 6/10. Charges posted 6/15 wonder if I will get $15 off. They were pending until 6/14 and just appeared as posted on 6/15 today.

Also, anyone notice that you pay 10% more as a non-member but they give you the 10% on the GCs. i.e. $10 GC costs $11 but you get $11 on the GC.  :o :o

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
