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.

I have the small business offer on all 4 cards. What is the current method of adding to more than one card without it disappearing from the others?

Can anyone clarify what constitutes"bulk purchases" of gift cards in context of Amex terms regarding the Staples 10% back offer? Can I buy $500 Visa gc in store? What's considered bulk?

And this is Citi/Mastercard's response to the Amex small business offer  ::)

Quote
All For Small
 
As many small businesses reopen their doors, let’s help make July their best month ever!

    From July 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020, when you shop with your select Citi Mastercard at an eligible small business, Citi and Mastercard together will donate 5˘ for each qualifying purchase, up to $1 million, to Start Small, Think Big — a nonprofit that helps deliver financial relief and critical resources that under-resourced small businesses urgently need to help them rebuild and continue to be a vibrant part of our economy.*


If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Regarding the small business offer,It seems like there is only offer per social. Is this true?

How long should it take for credits to post for the SM $10 offer?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Not just for this offer. All offers. And this is noting new.

If you have a bluebird / serve , check the offers there as well

I have an everday preferred with an offer of +5 points on amazon.

Does the 50% bonus points [after 30 transactions] apply to bonus points as well?

I.e. would I be effectively earning 9 points per dollar at Amazon?

So Amex offers are based on purchase date and not posting date?
Made Lowes purchase 29th and temp charged posted. Settled charge posted 8/3 and I received 10% off today. IIRC this offer ended 7/31.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

You know the members of this forum already.  People have to be right and force the other person to admit he is wrong and say "sorry", even when the mistake is an obvious mistype or mixup.  ::) :(
