  I just purchased the £3.07, hopefully worth 1500MR!

  Thanks for the heads up

  Taken the plunge and purchased a travel insurance policy from the Admiral website. However, the transaction is coming through as “ROCK INSURANCE SERVICES LTD”. It seems that even though the insurance branding is Admiral, the actual provider is a 3rd party provider. So, don’t know if the MR bonus will post.

  The Ts&Cs on that page state that “To qualify for this offer American Express Cardmembers need to register their Cardnumber and confirmation details in the fields below between 27 August and 30 October 2012.”

    But in the small print at the bottom (and in the email people got) it says 30 November. And October had 31 days …

  Raffles – do you have a list of the current foursquare offers for retail outlets for Amex Plat, as they dont appear to be listed?

  • Raffles says:

    No. There doesn’t seem to be one. The other ones I have seen discussed are £10 when you spend £10 in Gap, £10 when you spend £50 in Tesco and £5 when you spend £20 in Argos. £5 when you spend £10 in Starbucks (get a gift card).

    I have actually just come back from Harvey Nichols where I did a trial £26 purchase. Not having a smart phone, I checked in 3 miles away in the City using the app running on my wi-fi ipad. In theory it should work! I will head back to buy £25 gift vouchers on all my other Amex cards once I’ve seen it go through OK.

    A lot of the ‘small shops’ promo outlets seem to be loaded on Four Square which makes it very easy to get drunk for free if you’ve got a smartphone!

  Also, can you use multiple cards on the Foursquare deals and do the MBNA issued cards work?
  Thanks.

  • Raffles says:

    According to Flyertalk people who have been running this, MBNA and Lloyds cards work, as do supplementary cards as long as the number is different to the main card.

    You need to open a new FS account with a new email for each card,and check in again at each store.

    I have brought forward my FS post to tomorrow, so we can all go through it together then!

  House of Fraser in the City has Spend £50 get £10 back. Get a gift card or use it tomorrow when they start their 2 day sale.
  And HMV Leadenhall Market has Spend £20 get £5 back.

  I have got vouchers from HMV and Starbucks yesterday and immediately received notifications on Foursquare. The HMV means a savings of 25% – even better than the 20% given by Amex on their Xmas promotions. But with Foursquare you can only get one £20 voucher.

  Used Harvey Nichols on 6 cards and always worked. You need a foursquare account for every card. I load them all at home in one go and then use later – sometimes even a week later and it still works.

  There is also an offer at Fenwick i think spend £50 get £10 back.
  ThAll of these offers are till 31/12 apart from the Starbucks which is till Feb 2013.
