American Express pre-approval not working for me

I like to check my pre-approvals for AMEX every so often even though they usually don't mean much. But I still like to do it. So for the last couple I've been trying to check it. I'll enter in all my info, submit it, it'll look like it's processing for a few seconds, stop processing and just stay at the same screen. what's going on here?

 

I know they SP me once a month, and even send me pre-approvals at my actual residence. So I don't know the issue here. I don't want to apply, and be denied because they can't find my info...

I have the exact same issue SwiftTone, no clue how to fix it or what is going wrong. It has been that way as long as I've been trying.

I doubt it means they wouldn't be able to process an actual application.

Re: American Express pre-approval not working for me

Are they pre-approvals from the site? I get the following message:

 

"You are pre-selected for the following offers"

 

Do they offer pre-approvals?

Re: American Express pre-approval not working for me

Absolutely nothing happens when I enter my information and press "View my special offers".  I have used both Chrome and IE9.  Is their website just broken?
