  All my refunds have posted for 11 Amex £10 purchases in Tesco and 3 Amex £30 purchases in Argos (investigating further Argos and Primark options this evening). I used the Tesco gift cards to pay for the pre-order games, so together with a conditional spend voucher, I only effectively paid £32 for 18 games slips and 21.6k Avios, so 0.15p each! Can’t recall why, but I hadn’t actually loaded the Tesco offer to 1 Lloyds Amex card yet used it to pay. When I realised my mistake an hour later, I loaded the offer to use subsequently, yet the £5 has been refunded for the original purchase! So quick action after the fact can still earn you the statement credit with Lloyds, maybe cos they are so slow to work purchases and post to your statement in the first place. Can’t say this will always happen though to Lloyds and certainly can’t say with MBNA or Amex.

  Just noticed in the terms that “Only one offer valid per Foursquare account”. This is a new terms over previous foursquare promos. That said I have used about 6 cards on my one forusquare accounts and am getting the credit for each of them, so obviously not enforced.

  Also Tesco seems to be gone today. Maybe enrollment cap has been met?

    Yes maube capped met but the new t&c you quote is nonsense as amex advertises up to £55 discount on marketing email.

  Do you have to use the card in the store through which you added the offer? I ask because only one of the Dundee Tescos is showing the £5 off £10 offer and I don’t want to mess up having a run at the bonus points through video games pre-orders…

    No, it can be used in any Tesco branch. I used mine in different branches to the ones I used to add the offer in Foursquare.

      is there a way to check which offers have been uploaded to a fs profile on a desktop, without logging via mobile?

      • Trevor says:

        Yes, check your history of check-ins – assuming you checked in first, and wouldn’t check in without loading the offer. You can only check if an offer is loaded by trying to load it again from a device – that’s the only way to be sure. The other best way to be sure is to keep a record of what you’ve done. 5 offers across 11 cards? I definitely keep a record of what is loaded to what card. A little bit of admin can save a lot of time, effort. and confusion.

  Drat…just back from a business trip where I we ate at Zizzi’s….
  5x Amex cards and a bill of near £200…I could have made a tidy sum on the side…if only I had a smartphone!

  Anyone had their Argos £10 credit post on their BA Amex card yet?
  My Amex Gold Card credit has posted but my BA Amex card credit has not – both £30s were spent on the same day.
  Just realised I’m missing a £10 credit on my wife’s supplementary Amex Gold Card – I take it as this is a different number to my Gold Card I should also get the credit for this?
  (I made sure I checked-in and loaded the deal to all 3 cards prior to spending 3 x £31)

  Any idea what has gone wrong / what I should do now?

    I’ve had an Argos confirmation show up in Foursquare so I’ve no doubt the credit will turn up too.
