Just did the same and the email showed up for me. FWIW, I used a Shell offer the other day and never got an email about it but the credit still showed up online.

I have multiple accounts so just used them to make it easier with info entry, but I had the same thought as you. It might. Try and see and report back!

How long did you wait? The offer email came for me anywhere between 5 minutes and an hour later. However, to get an offer confirmation email at all, you must have your Amex settings instructing for it to come. Some people forget to tweak them. Also check Spam folder. Was your total charged about over $100? You can't just get a $100 VGC - $15 Q because that will leave the charge too low to generate the credit. If worried, log into Amex and see your pending charges. As long as $100+ is showing from Staples, it should post fine within a couple days. Let us know how it goes, good luck!

So, if I have this offer on two AMEX cards, is my best option to just get two $100 VGCs in separate transactions?

+1. I was able to get the offer on all of my cards (7 cards across 4 logins):
Personal login (me) - OBC, SPG, MB Platinum
Wife: OBC & PRG
Business 1: SPG
Business 2: Business Gold Card

Just catching up on this one - it looks like no one had issues, nor Amex had a change of heart, for getting $25 buying $100 GV online? Did anyone see teh $25 credit yet?

Thanks
