I think you can sign in and out on the same phone, once you've checked in and loaded the offer to your linked card, it doesn't matter if you've signed out again.

I'm going to try it though.

I love the FourSquare deals, it's a great way to have a good time while not feeling as though you're squeezing your belt too tight!

You can. See main foursquare thread for details. It's debatable whether you need to load at all. I've had offers paid automatically without loading to either of my cards (they were only synched)

Are you joking? Their market cap is $67 billion on the NYSE and the cost of doing offers like this is pittance compared to what a television campaign costs for example.

Agreed, someone I spoke to about these deals indicated that they thought it was nothing more than dirt cheap marketing compared to other avenues so . . long may it continue.

I've just got extra Amex cards, and love the cashback deals with FourSquare.

I had a look at creditsqueezy.com and they've got all the details on the latest ones, you can also see what has come before, which hopefully gives an idea of what we can look forward to!

The other day, using a gift card (bought with amex) me and my OH used a 2 for 1 voucher at Pizza Hut after doing a satisfaction survey. Using this an paying with the gift card meant that we only paid £6.55 for two people to have pizza, salad and drinks! Brilliant :T

I've started a blog about using these deals together, it's great fun!

If you want to see how this worked, check out my blog bythepenny.com

Money is just maths! (except more fun when you're saving)

Mmm - just tried applying for the Amex Gold Card and my application has been deferred - anybody else have this who went on to be approved?

We match all the criteria but I think that moving job last year and bank this year has thrown a spanner in the works as my credit file is otherwise squeaky clean.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post folks.

Most Amex card applications get deferred. All 3 of mine did and I was accepted for all of them.

Hi all, just a quick question to see if I can use the Foursquare / Amex thing at multiple Debenhams stores, or can you only use the one card at one Debenhams?

Once per offer per card.

Did anybody else have a problem signing up for the Amex online account? No matter what details I enter, I get an error message saying "Fields have been left blank or information provided an incorrect format. Please check and try again.".

So I've sync'd my card, loaded a couple of offers but can't use them because the card isn't activated

Have you tried calling Amex?
