I have a supplementary card for my other half on my Nectar Credit Card. I just rang AMEX customer services to check.

The lady on the phone said she was absolutely certain the offers are there for the supplementary cardholder as well so we get double the bonus (her words)... I shall be going Nandos again this weekend me thinks

Thanks, that's what the T&Cs seem to suggest but it's not clear. I've done a test purchase on my wife's card and will confirm if we get the cashback.

Just a shame my wife closed her Amex account (with me as a joint holder) as otherwise we'd have quadruple the bonuses!

Has anyone tried doing this with a second card holder yet? Have now claimed everything on my card so hoping to do the same with a new foursquare account linked to my wife's card.

I think it was confirmed earlier in the thread that each supplementary card can take advantage of each of the offers.

I did the 'specials' at Tesco, Primark and Eat last week using my AMEX Nectar card then created another foursquare account for my OH and used his card at the same previous stores. All credit, i.e. £40, was applied to my statement within a couple of days.

Does this only work at some shops? Went to my local Tesco Extra, loaded the Foursquare app, but no deal was visible. I checked-in and did a £10 shop anyway, but nothing happened. Is it possible it doesn't work at every shop in the chain?

Only the Tesco Express in Chesterton and on East Road show up as specials in CB. I just purchased a £5 gift card there to use on weekly grocery shopping in big stores.

Now that's an excellent idea...

Its been 10 days since I checked in to Nandos, HoF & Tesco. I do not see anything yet in my Amex online statement.transactions, not sure whether I have done something wrong in the process.

Well, despite the lady telling me it was OK, we just tried to register my other half's card but it was having none of it.

Rang AMEX who now say supplementary cards cannot be used and a memo has been sent round the office to this affect...



Good luck if it works for you, but doesn't for me, maybe a new change AMEX brought in recently?

Did you do this before they broke the app?

Did you get back the confirmation "Loaded to Card"?
