Okay, I'll post this a day early. I think I have enough tickets now.

This is today's upcoming deal for Amex Connect (at 12:00pm). I am not a rep, a few of us on the forums figured out how to get this info early.

Gold Class Movie Tickets, buy 1, get 3 free. $39 for 4 tickets, saving $117. Free postage via Australia Post (ordinary, not registered).
Tickets expire 30 March 2013.
Valid at Event, Birch Carroll & Coyle and Village cinemas.

You're meant to need a bank issued (ANZ, CBA, NAB, Westpac) Amex but in reality it simply DOES NOT MATTER.
I have used a non-bank issued Amex to buy a whole bunch of stuff from Amex Connect already. Just select any bank when asked.

I don't know how many will be available but the first batch had 700 lots, the second batch had 400 lots.

So the link was meant to be: http://www.amexconnect.com.au/OfferDetails.aspx?OfferId=47
BUT, if yesterday's deal is anything to go by, it might change so I suggest you simply bookmark http://www.amexconnect.com.au

TIPS for those crying about not being able to purchase anything:
Use a decent fixed broadband internet connection, not some mobile "broadband" rubbish.
Have your credit card number saved in the clipboard so you can just Ctrl-V it (or if your name is really really long, maybe have that saved instead).
At around 11:45, go to the site, click on Your Profile, log in again when prompted by the pseudo-popup, and leave the browser open.
Open up your system clock. It should be sync'ed to an internet time server, just as Amex Connect's server is. When it hits 12:00:00pm, refresh the page. No earlier.
Maybe open another tab loading the page every 5-10 seconds, but leave the current one going. Don't hit refresh.
Once one starts loading, close all others.
Do this for the first click (View Deal), and second click (Buy Now).
TYPE FAST.

T&C will state one purchase per person per account per card per day per whatever.
However, if you have multiple accounts you can purchase multiple times, just use different details in the top box of checkout.
Delivery name / address can be the same, credit card details can be the same.
You will need multiple accounts now as the email address field is not editable as it was during the first batch of tickets. To pull this off, have multiple browsers / computers pre-logged in from different accounts (will likely sell out before you can switch accounts).

This is the last daily deal by Amex Connect (unless they extend it).
Thanks for the great ride, American Express. Cheers for the bargains.

Edit:
Evidence:
Yesterday's tablet:
http://amexobject.formonline.com.au/Images/Assets/Offers/46_…

Wednesday's Samsonite:
http://amexobject.formonline.com.au/Images/Assets/Offers/45_…

Tuesday's Frypan:
http://amexobject.formonline.com.au/Images/Assets/Offers/44_…

Monday's KitchenAid:
http://amexobject.formonline.com.au/Images/Assets/Offers/43_…

Last Friday's TV:
http://amexobject.formonline.com.au/Images/Assets/Offers/42_…

Last Thursday's Mothercare voucher:
http://amexobject.formonline.com.au/Images/Assets/Offers/41_…

…etc.

Guess what today's deal will be:
http://amexobject.formonline.com.au/Images/Assets/Offers/47_…

The direct link has typically been:
http://www.amexconnect.com.au/OfferDetails.aspx?OfferId=47
(substituting 47 following the obvious pattern), redirecting to 48 until 12:00pm SHARP
but today's tablet tricked us by jumping to 118 (random)

The only fraud was done by AMEX.

Fraud happens when the bank detects multiple "AUTH"s that happens within a short space of time.

So maybe each time you refresh it does that.

Who knows…

Maybe you'll get calls from your banks soon
- Jason_dealfox.com.au on 30/03/2012 - 12:31
  
  I think this error presented itself even on the first attempt to checkout. At least for me.
furythree on 30/03/2012 - 12:31

Im so pissed off right now
finally got the payment screen and suspected fraud
I called the bank up and they said its not the card, Amexconnect blocked the card for too many refreshes
WAHT THE F*CKK!

Managed to get 1 and when trying to get a second one, got an error saying it was suspected fraud, and here I thought that you could use the same credit card across multiple accounts :(

What a bummer. I had 2 other accounts created and waiting too.
jcct.iz on 30/03/2012 - 12:33

The system definitely crashed when I went to refresh each time. But when I got the screen up and 'buy now' it said 'page could not be displayed'. Luckily my order still went through! Hope it worked for everyone too. :)

System kept crashing on me on payments page- finally got through again and it told me I already had one so couldn't buy another. I have no email confirmation, but my card has been charged, so I'm hopeful.
- nada on 30/03/2012 - 12:38
  
  if your card's been charged and it says you already got one, YOU ALREADY GOT ONE.
  with that much pressure on i wont be surprised somehow they failed to send out the email.
  congrats! :D

  But because it was OzBargained the slow down helped us get them…

The confirmation page never loaded for me. When I tried again, I got "Fraud suspected".
I then called my bank, and they said that a payment had successfully gone through from Amex Connect.

So I suspect that all those people who received "Fraud Suspection" did successfully purchase tickets; however never saw the confirmation page.
- aec on 30/03/2012 - 12:38
  
  but i have not received any confirmation email.
- solar eclipse on 30/03/2012 - 12:39

    Do they email the tickets or post them?

- vanaja33 on 30/03/2012 - 13:18
  
  I got a 'fraud suspected' error message on my first attempt at buying the tickets, but similar to you, the transaction has gone through my Amex account. I haven't received the confirmation email. I've given my details to the Amexconnect helpdesk and they're going to get back to me.
- guidedlight on 30/03/2012 - 15:40
  
  ** UPDATE **
  
  I just received the following email from Amex Connect; in response to the enquiry I sent them earlier.
  
  We are sorry you experienced issues today. We are finding that the offers are very popular and due to high traffic on our supplier’s site, this may have caused difficulty in finalizing your purchase.
  We will have our supplier, Pinpoint, contact you via email within the next 2-3 working days to investigate the error in your transaction, and if we identify that an error occurred, we will process your payment for this offer.
  Since the start of the campaign we have sold over 2,700 products/vouchers. We have some ongoing offers and deals on amexconnect.com.au for you to take advantage of, and look forward to seeing you again.
  Once again I apologize for any inconvenience caused.
