MSE News: New Amex cashback deal targets Tesco, Harvey Nichols and more

Only in store.

Good grief, filled up at Tesco a few days ago.
Just over £50 and paid with Amex, but I didn't know about the deal.

AND I don't have an Android phone.

I don't suppose Sony Ericsson W350i, with camera and internet can do it? I seem to remember pre-Android phones could download an app to decode QR code; if somebody wrote one, of course.

Please can we add a proviso to the MSE page: only iPhone, Android and Blackberry are supported for this promotion by Foursquare? I managed to download foursquare for Nokia and then went around trying to get the deal - no luck! Eventually found the limiting statement in the small print.

I've checked-in to Harvey Nichols TWICE and on both occasions 'loaded' the £25 Cashback deal prior to purchase.

So far the £25 credit has not appeared on my statement though the £5 Support Small Business credits they ran in November were near instantaneous.

Check main foursquare thread. HN credited after 2-3 days

OK.. I too have an old phone that doesn't support apps but have worked out a way to be able to claim the deals from a computer. Do you think it will be of interest if I made a video and put on youtube? It's a little complicated!!

Nope you can't I'm afraid. Android and iOS only. Even Windows phone doesn't support it.

I was wondering if there is an easier way of looking at a list of shops that are running the Four Square/ AMEX promotion please?

(Like when AMEX did the support small shops promo and you could type in your postcode and it would come up with the name of shops).

Thanks in advance.

Still not clear if its possible to use these deals again in a separate billing period. Taking the Harvey nicks one as an example, I used this around two weeks ago in London and received the £25 credit to my statement. I'm now in a new billing period and will be in Edinburgh tomorrow and looking on foursquare, it allows me to check in at the shop there and displays the load to card button. Looks exactly like it did before so has anyone been able to use the deal again in a different billing period 'on the same card'?

I don't know for sure but I think the period is defined solely by the start and end date for each store. If it wasn't you could always double up either side of your statement end date for any offer that lasted 1 month or more. That said, if you try it and it works, please let us know

HN load to card still appears for me too so I don't think that's indicative
