Spend £50, get £25 with American Express
Enjoy traffic-free shopping on Oxford Street and Regent Street as London’s West End celebrates one of the biggest events on the Christmas shopping calendar – the American Express® Shop West End VIP (Very Important Pedestrian) Day

I am able to register my Amex Platinum card. But, for my Lloyds TSB Amex card, I get the following message:
Unfortunately, this card is not eligible for this offer.

Hi , Sorry if these questions have been answered or if I am in the wrong thread.

1) Do I have to to check in and load through 4 square....or can I just go into any shop that amex list on their shopsmall participating shops lists ?

2) Is Harvey Niks a £25 credit back onto my card or is it a £25 credit to spend in HN's.?

3)After checking in and loading through 4 square is there a time limit for me to use it ?

Hoping I don't have to use 4 square as it seems a slow way to find places and load them etc.

Thanks.

1)I believe ShopSmall doesn't require FourSquare (although as most seem to be London-based I haven't used this at all).

2) £25 card credit

3) Don't think so but the longest delay I've had been loading and using has beeen a few days.

Sorry for being a bit slow....but when they say this....
"Use your synced American Express Card: Spend £25 or more in one purchase from 25 October, 2012 to 31 December, 2012 and get a £25 statement credit at Harvey Nichols. Limit one credit per card."
Does that mean I can buy several things which add up to more than £25.....or does it have to be one item.
When it says statement credit at harvey Nichols....does it mean I have to spend the £25 I will get actually in their store.

Soz for slowness

I think it does (T&Cs say so too).

I'm not in London though and there are dozens of offers available.

Oh fair enough then :-) None anywhere near me so I didn't read them too carefully!

You can buy as many items so long as the amount you pay on one transaction is £25 (or over).

The £25cr goes back on your card and you can spend it on what you like (for me it just offsets the £25 spent to equal 0).

I never know what to buy but to save missing out on the offer I buy £25 gift vouchers from there.

I can't seem to find this anywhere in the Amex T&C's: How soon after checking in & loading do you have to make the purchase with the retailer?

Chipotle and haagen daaz are on the £5 deals

It doesn't seem to matter. I checked into some days before buying and still got the credit.

Well, I've been using the foursquare app and my Nectar Amex all fine. But signed up for the Shop Small offer via their website.

Then the scheme was extended to foursquare with the same offers. So I checked in on Foursquare, loaded to card, spent more than £5 and hey presto, 7 days later no £5 credit.

I'm wondering if registering on the shop small has mucked up my foursquare syncing. Who would I contact, or how can I deregister my card from Shop small?

I've tried twitter @AskAmex_UK, but is there a foursquare contact that anyone has had a response from for Amex?
