I also tried registering my UK Amex BA card, and it was accepted. However, the T&Cs for this offer state that it is valid only for cards issued in the US, so it doesn't surprise me that I didn't receive a credit after buying an app with this UK card.

Yes, I'm from the UK, and it worked for me in that I paid $0.99 ($1 including tax) for an iPhone app and got a credit of $7.05 from Amex. But I did this with my US-issued Amex card, not with my UK-issued USD card.

I registered a total of 9 Amex cards for this offer, which included accounts where I was just an authorized user. I successfully changed the credit card in my account a total of 4 times and received the emails that I would receive the credit a total of 3 times after making the purchases.
After adding the fourth card, however, I wasn't able to make purchases anymore using my iTunes account and was told to contact iTunes support. After doing so--and in my email to them explaining why I wanted to change my credit card so many times--I was told that it was only possible to change one's credit card 5 times in a month, but that they wanted to "resolve" this issue and would forward on my issue to another department.
We'll see what happens. The strange thing is that I only changed my card four times, not five.

I had the same thing happen to me. I added my fourth card on Thursday and went to buy a song. I got the same message requesting that I contact Itunes support. Interestingly though, when I looked at my amex account online, it shows a $1 authorization request from Itunes. It appears, at least in this case, that it allowed me to add the card, their system took an authorization request... but it wasn't until the attempted purchase of the song that it prevented the transaction from going through. Were you able to get it resolved?
I have another old account I may use that. I am trying to think of the implications of having purchases across multiple iTunes accounts can't think of anything particularly negative

+1 Here. I only got as far as my fourth card too. I managed to get two purchases in on the fourth card but now it is locked.

I wonder if it would work for the multiple card issue, too? I'm only on my third Amex card, but have a fourth waiting in the wings.

It certainly beats Apple support, who sent me the most dumb-a$$ scripted response "we are very sorry for the inconvenience, your happiness is important to us" bs and have not followed up on anything since and completely failed to address the issue. one week later, still locked out of itunes. morons

er this is a password reset? the issue is after changing your credit card four times you get locked out of making further purchases. you are told to contact support. who send you said inane and pointless message and don't follow up on it.
It gets better. I finally got a reply, read and weep. I am just so surprised seeing this coming from Apple. It's like the worst of Citibank, CrapOne and Expedia rolled into one.

And yes, they'll verify it with a serial number, and you have to be in your eligible support window, or have purchased APP.
