Just thought I'd remind everyone that the Amex/Foursquare deals expire on 15th August 2012, so you have a week to take advantage any remaining deals!

Hopefully there will be some more deals released soon...

why o why did I take so long to sign up! Used at Eat today.

Does anyone know if Tesco still valid?

Not sure if it will work online for HoF as does say not online in T&C - i see what you mean about checking in but surely they must still know?

Also - what would happen if you bought something and then had to return it....would it take away the credit too?? Went to HoF but couldnt find anything in my size I liked, was wondering whether to buy anything for now and then refund and buy something else later etc...

We've managed to double up offers by using our taste card in cafe rouge and strada. 241 offers. Nearly been able to eat for free as my wife has a joint card, we check in at the same time and voila £20 off.

We've not seen if you can use the offer more than once at any location. But it ends soon now.

just buy a £10 gift voucher in store and spend it at your leisure. I think they are valid for 2 years since purchase or last use.

Only selected Bella Italias do takeaways (only for pizza though) but all Pizza Expresses do and the foursquare offer works.

Not sure they'd know as I assume it's all automated but I guess it's not worth the risk. Was hoping to get cheap giftcards and save them for when I go to a town that has a HoF store.

Great idea thanks! May do the same at primark! Hope it still credits

Just did this at Primark, if the £10 credit goes on, and I return my goods for a refund will they take the £10 credit away from me?

(I don't purposely want to return the clothes but I haven't yet tried them on so they may not fit.)

To be safe you could ask for the refund to be put on a gift card. Stores usually do this if you do not have the payment card with you, so don't take it or say you don't have it with you.

It will credit as Amex/foursquare don't know what you bought. I was going on holiday so walked around the town and got House of Fraser, Nandos,Primark and Pizza Express gift cards. Unfortunately none of the other retailers provide gift cards except Tesco, and with a £5 spend I just bought goods I needed.

The foursquare/Amex deal in the US has been running for a long time so hopefully we will see some more retailers join.
