Sorry - can I just clarify that please? Does that mean, that if I add my other half as a card holder, we could get 2 statement credits on the same account...? I thought it was one credit per account, not per card?
Would be fab if that's right, then I'll order him a card straight away!

Supplementary cards work so long as the main card number is different, which is true of all cards issued by American Express and Lloyds. The terms are "one credit per card", not account.

I have four supplementary cards just for Foursquare offers .

At least you know now! Don't forget you need to use a different email per card when registering with Foursquare and syncing. I'd also recommend using a system whereby you can identify which email is which card, else it can get very confusing.

For example:

ernie+gold@gmail.com
ernie+gold2@gmail.com
ernie+lloyds@gmail.com

etc

Yep, it does - just need to be synced with a separate 4sq account.

:jThanks for clarifying that. I think I'd read about it ages ago but had never taken it up so wasn't sure

That's good advice, I'm getting straight on with sorting it out today!

Hi
Does anyone know, if i check into my local debenhams and load to card and then purchase something off the internet and pay over the internet at debenhams.co.uk. would this register as a sale and give me teh credit?
thanks

Don't think so, as not all Debenhams are part of the offer. You need to make the purchase at the one you check in.

No, the purchase needs to be made in-store.

That's incorrect. Checking in just enables you to access and load the Special, which is then valid for any store that's running the offer.

Thought it'd be worth mentioning that Fenwick (included in the March Foursquare offers) apparently can't do split card transactions.

So, say, if you want to buy an item worth £150 and split it across three AmEx cards, you won't be able to do that.

It's really odd because no other retailer that has done the Foursquare offers in the past has had a problem doing this, but I've had three separate people across two stores confirming this is the case.
