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.

Is this happening with AU's with multiple cards , same name same ssn as AU's on the same card? So  if I have only my kids , with one AU account each per card, is this going to make the offers disappear? Are the offers disappearing before or after being saved?  Thanks.

A DDMS post about this (or a clear post from @Dan here) would be very helpful. It's all quite confusing...

What's so confusing? Just use the MTM as DDMS has advocated since day one. If your browser can't handle 99 tabs, consider a RAM upgrade; it'll pay for itself after one decent offer.

Last round of offers I used 3 laptops and 2 tablets to try and keep things organized. The issue for me is at a certain point the effort vs reward ratio doesn't cut it anymore. Unfortunately, that is the exact outcome Amex is hoping for, and I can't imagine I'm alone on this.

No you are not alone, those are my thoughts exactly! Same goes for grabbing the snes now, at the end of the day the few dollars (literally) you are left with after shipping and ebay fees... I just don't see how it's worth it
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I would argue that the effort/reward ratio sometimes is worth it. If I max out 70 cards with the bb offer which I plan on doing I’ll be making $2k+. Took me maybe 10 minutes to save all of them

Depends what names you had on the cards. How many cards per login etc...
