Amex Offers Old Interface Dead
A few weeks ago Amex made a change to their system disallowing the same person from receiving the same Amex Offer across cards even if they are on separate logins. At that time it was still possible to load the offer to multiple cards on the same login by using multiple tabs. That died for the most part a couple of days ago.
The reason I say for the most part is that it hasn’t died 100%. Some older offers can still be loaded that way, but most (if not all) new offers do not allow you to load via multiple tabs. After loading in the first tab, the offer becomes unavailable in the other tabs. Still, some of the older offers were working, but another shoe has dropped which will make loading them more difficult.
The Glorious Old Interface
Amex introduced a new clunkier website about a year ago. While prettier than the old version, it made loading multiple offers much more difficult. Because of this, many of us kept a link to the old interface which is what we used to load offers. As first seen by Chuck from DoC, that link is now dead as of today.
When you visit the previously magical link and login, it now just redirects to the new interface. It seems like perhaps Amex is trying to kill off even the old offers from being loaded multiple times. Sometimes loaded offers would disappear in the new interface but still show up in the old one as well. RIP.
Conclusion
Amex is enforcing their terms strictly on Amex Offers and they seem to have caught their tech up. I have exclusively used the old interface to load offers for a year and am sad to see it go. This is just more confirmation that Amex Offers as we knew them are gone. There will still be some value, but not nearly as much as before.

I have to laugh at just how long us msers took the fullest advantage if this multi-tab trick before amex have obviously spent big money with their website developers to fix their glitch.
I for one learned about it at my first Chicago Seminars in 2013, and I was late on board compared to others.
Very sad to see it go, but thanks amex for the very long and profitable ride!!! At my peak I had 21 cards giving amex offers!
lol, it’s not surprised that amex finally shut it down b/c most if not all ppl nowadays know & took advantage of it
