Thank you both very much. I do appreciate your replies.
Another quick question (I did a lot of searches already but no definitive answer):
Does tax usually include with Amex offers like this one ($35 credit for $175 spend)?
The terms doesn't have any language about tax; only '...room rates and room charges...'
Example:
$300 Room cost
$50 Tax
$350 total split between 2 cards ($175 each)
Assuming both cards have the 35/175 offers, would they both qualify for the $35 credit?
If tax is excluded in the offer, then technically each card would be $25 short of $175 minimum spend, and therefore not qualify for the credit.

case-in-point - on a recent stay, i split my hilton stay cost into different cards since i have the Amex offers on a few cards. I got all the credits and also got the 7500 HH points promo (even with only partial charge to the Plat)

Maybe it's too much effort. Maybe it's good customer relations. Maybe it's Maybelline. Doesn't matter.

Update.
Based on the comments on this thread about this may being just an issue with the website I went ahead and purchased from boxed.com with a card that I knew had the offer, even though it didn't show on amex.com.
I got an email confirming I had used the offer. So it did work!

Has anyone else noticed that there is almost no Amex offers for the new Blue Business Plus Card? I have never seen that with any other Amex card. TIA.

Everyone who has mentioned it has reported only a few Offers. This is a new product, and will not have been included in the advertisers choices. No doubt this will change as American Express' sales force touts the opportunity.

Its been a slow last couple of weeks overall, not just Blue for Business.
I got a Blue Business in Feb 2107, the offers came more or less the same as my other cards immediately after registering it.

Any trick to get the latter if I already have the former (but haven't signed up for it yet) on my Membership Rewards cards?
Please mention which card showed the 2000 MR points in case it's only card that does it. Thanks.

So I stayed at a Homewood Suites about a month ago because of the $45 back on $225 or more offer. The credit never posted. I chatted with an Amex rep who gave me a reference number, but as is normal, Amex chat reps are useless. Called tonight to the night on the back of the Plat, the front line CSR made up some excuse why it didn't post, so I asked to speak to a supervisor. After a 30 second chat with the "supervisor", he put me on hold, came back and said he'd issued the credit.
Interestingly, I have 2000 MR offer on both my Plat and Everyday cards for the Best Western deal.

If you use Sun Basket organic meal kits (as I do), both of my Amex Blue Cash Everyday cards just got a spend-$70-get-$30 sync offer. A very good deal. Expires 7/22/17.
