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.

For the Verizon FiOS offer, when I try to pay online, it warns "Your Auto Pay and Paper Free Billing discount will be removed for this month if you make a one-time payment."

Is this true? If I pay enough to cover a few months, will the discount be removed for each subsequent month that I don't owe anything?
On my personal account I actually got an email that they are taking away the auto pay discount.
When I got my bill it still included my auto pay discount..

Trying to redeem the insurance offer with my Geico auto policy. Is there a way to prepay if I don't currently have a balance due? My next statement isn't due to print until Feb.

GEICO gives you the option to pay a 6-month policy over 6, 4 or 2 installments or as a single payment. So suppose that your policy is set on a two payment plan. Are you saying that the second of your two installments will be billed in February? In that case, you can pay your entire six-month policy as soon as they renew it even if you originally told them you would be paying it in six, four or two installments. But I don't think you can pay more than the full policy amount.
But I do have a couple of workarounds. In my case, the three year discount for taking a safe driving course had just expired. I made sure not to take a new course until after they sent the next renewal so that the bill would be just over the amount of Amex offers that I have available. If I take the course right away it's likely that the revised total amount of my policy will be below the total I paid with Amex offers, in which case they will give a refund which I'm hoping will not be refunded back to the credit card but rather as a check.
If you need a more extreme workaround, I suppose you could increase your coverage to increase your premium, then make your payments, and then revise your coverage back to what you need it to be and hope your refund comes as a check.

call geico and ask them to requote you, many times price can change by a few cents. ask them to refund you the previous quote (its prorated), and then pay your new quote with the amex offer

Have you had experience receiving a check from them? IME any time I needed a refund from Geico including cancellation of a policy, it was refunded back to the original form of payment

Even though all these offers specifically state "Business Card," they are showing up on personal cards and can be added.  Is this Amex's new way of clawbacks?  Start 2019 off with a bang.

I have a couple of business accounts, each with a few employee cards. I couldn't find Staples, Lowe's or Boxed on any of them.

Seems Lowes and staples filled up between 10-12am yesterday. I knew I should have been adding offers instead of doing my day job!  >:(

My cards are now showing staples and Lowes offers again. (They weren't there last time.)
Also the multi browser doesn't work anymore. I tried adding both within a second, and popped up error; "Sorry about that! The offer you selected has already been added to one of your Cards."

Up Date- Just tried on another account and If you can do it literaly within a split second it works other wise you get that error. Will they Claw Back? Thats a different question.

Seems like all 3 offers (staples, dell, and Lowe’s) are back up but only for business cards. Anyone get these on personal?
