If you already have an Amex account clearing your cookies (or using a private browser) can be effective when it comes to getting the "good" offers... that's how I got my PRG with 50k MR points even though I had an existing account. As it has already been stated, even if you're not logged in if you're denied it will still just be a SP (but a HP if approved).
If you are an existing card member and want to see if there are any prequal offers as far as I know there is currently no way to do so... when you enter your address and SS# they will simply tell you to log in, which takes you completely out of the prequal screens.
This has been my experience, anyway.
Side note: Some people with existing Amex accounts have reported being shown a 'prequal' offer while logged in to their account via a banner toward the top of the screen, or under 'benefits'. So far I've never seen either of these personally, so it's YMMV.
Does the benefits tab actually work? When I click on it, I always get a browser error.
It's odd that you mention that... just today I got a browser error for the first time when I clicked on the link.
I tried again just now, though, and it's working again as it always has... perhaps there was a glitch? I'm using Firefox.

I was getting this one for a while. Apparently Amex changed their mind, because I haven't seen it in a while.
