Hi Matilda
There is a UK dedicated website (http:/www.foursquareamex.com) that lists not only the FourSquare & Amex offers, but also the latest CardMember deals such as concert & theatre show deals. They also publish them via their Twitter account @FoursquareAmex :beer:

Their website lists out of date offers, is badly designed and their twitter account says it's US only and has a grand total of 9 followers and no useful tweets.

As it stands, I think Russinating's creditsqueezy website is a much better resource, particularly the "current amex and foursquare offers" and the links to the foursquare maps. I don't always get the marketing emails from Amex so it is handy.

Thank you for posting Russell

hi,

having got a FS account / syncing sorted etc i wonder if an existing user of these offers can advise.

used my card for the 1st time for an offer on Monday 11th @ a Shell garage.

message that i had eaned a £15 credit was imediate to my FS account notifications.

on my amex statement the Shell purchase went from pending to Transactions on the 13th. from experience when should the £15 credit hit my statement?

having been confirmed can it really take "2 billing cycles"? as in 2 months? i have seen mention on various threads about it taking a couple of days or never if it hasnt registered, i havnt actually seen anyone mention its worked but taken 2 months.

thank you.

p.s i am itching to see the credit as we have 4 cards between us to use but waiting on 1st succesful transaction

Credit usually posts a day or two after the transaction has posted. The most I ever waited was 5 days and that was over the Xmas period.

Similar for me. Credits always appear 1-2 days after the transaction has been posted

so has anyone ever had confirmation but then not got credit automatically?

i have read about no confirmation but credited but not vice versa.

impatient me, will probably but credited later.

Yes, I have. I had confirmation via Foursquare for the Harrods deal on my Gold card but didn't receive the cashback. Contacted Amex and they manually credited it within 24 hours.

Strange one now. I know this is not Amex related, but I have just had an email from Foursquare, saying I've just unlocked my Newbie badge by checking in at 'The Vets'. I haven't been to any Vet. Still haven't even downloaded the app (tis email came through on my computer, where I registered and synced my Amex card. Can anyone throw any light on this? Should I perhaps be a little worried?

Has anyone managed to contact AMEX/FOURSQUARE to solve non-tracking. I've synced my LLOYDS DUO twice now, but it doesn't seem to track back to my account.

Russinating

Yes, contact them from your account and select Social Media -> Twitter as the reason. I got a manual credit within 24 hours.

In other news MSE have also blocked me from posting links to my Amex/Foursquare site even though I'm replying directly to questions. Seems like they don't actually want people to help others... :think:

Perhaps you could get away with starting a new thread on the referers board and then posting links to that post when someone asks how to find out what offers are on, how to sync etc?
