Spent £10 in Starbucks but no notification of purchase. Card was loaded:( do you always get notification? Thanks

No, not always in my experience. If it loaded OK you should still get the credit OK.

As i understand the Gap offer says "from the 5th-31st December". Does that mean if you did the Gap offer in November, you can do it again this month?

Yes this is a new offer. I did the one in November and did another one today and got notification of £10 credit straight after

On Foursquare, it appears as though it is only the NIKE Corporate Office in London that has the special offer available! (I checked this on the foursquare website)
I rang up Amex this morning about this, and the guy said that you should check-in to the Corporate Office just to get the Special offer activated and click on the Load to Card button....and then spend your £50+ in any Nike shop. If the £25 credit notification doesn't appear on your Foursquare app afterwards, and/or the amount doesn't appear on your online account within 5 days, then give them a call, and they will ensure that the £25 is credited back to your account.
He reckons that Foursquare have forgotten to update the website/app for Nike - as the promotion became active from today.
I was going to try this out in NikeTown this afternoon but got sidetracked so will have to try it out later in the week. HTH

I went and checked-in and loaded the Nike offer (checking into the Nike Corporate Office as NikeTown still isn't flagged as having a special offer) onto my card. Spent £50 in the NikeTown shop in Oxford Circus and got notification pretty much straight away informing me that I would be credited with £25. HTH

Nike in Westfield Stratford had the £25 credit offer on Foursquare, so i got a £50 giftcard and got a confirmation notification that it tracked.
But when i look now, it's no longer showing the special. Very strange.

Also, does the HMV Spend £20 get £5 back work for anyone, it hasn't been on Foursquare today at all for the majority of the stores in London, only a few... ??

No one has mentioned this but here's a way of making £10 savings on petrol.
Use the Spend £50 get £10 credit special.
Buy a £50 giftcard from Tesco
Use the giftcard for petrol.
Simples!

Can I buy petrol with my Tesco Gift Card?Yes you can use your Tesco Gift Card to buy petrol or any other item on sale in the shop or kiosk. At present you can't pay at a pump with a Tesco Gift Card.

I synced/loaded my Amex card at a local Tesco Express with an Esso petrol station attached to it and used it to pay for fuel. Got the confirmation on Foursquare immediately and £10 credited to my statement a few days later.

Does anyone remember the end date for the last Gap offer? I'm sure it was 31st December so didn't rush to shop there but loaded it onto my card and now there's a new promo. If it was end of December, wonder if the last offer would be activated if I shopped there now then load the new offer and make another purchase and get credit back for both?

Are you all being credited ok when using 2 cards on same account?
