For anyone who hasn't used the Pizza Express offer yet, there is a voucher on their website (http://www.pizzaexpress.com/latest-offers) where if you buy a main meal, you can get any pizza for £2.50. This is also valid for takeaways if you phone your local restaurant.
Given most their pizzas are less than £11.75, you can get two pizzas for less than £4.25 if used in conjunction with the Foursqaure offer.

I had a Tesco store not appear with the "Load to Card" button, even after checking in. I did my shopping, then sent Amex a message. They replied apologizing for it and are making a credit of £5 to my account.

Glad you got it sorted - I've found things seem to have improved a bit recently, the main issue is some branches (esp of Cafe Rouge) just not taking part in the offer at all.

No - I ended up using it at a different branch instead, but that one just wasn't showing the special offer at all, it's not that it wouldn't load. I presume some individual branches might be able to opt-out if they wish?

In my Tesco experience, it wasn't showing the special offer either, it appeared just like a regular location. I didn't notice any mention that selected branches are participating, so I'd assume that Foursquare's list just isn't up to date, and messaging Amex will sort it out.

UK cards work in US too
Having signed up for this with my BA Amex and receiving rebates at Tesco and Pizza express I tried it in America and it works there too (with my same UK card). I used it at a restaurant Brewzzi which offered $5 back if you spent $10 and it came through on my card no problem.

I synched my card with Foursquare and started using it a couple times with great results, however now it seems that only select Amex deals show up, even though my friends with Foursquare are showing the discounts on their mobile devices. Tons of places have the discount, but for some reason, I can't view it on my phone. Any other FTers have this happen?

I got some £25 back for 3 visits, which isn't too bad

(For those not in the know, you can link your Amex card with your foursquare account and load checkin offers onto the card when you cneckin to a place with a special amex offer. The shop will not know you're using a virtual coupon as to them you've just paid with your card).
So perhaps a thread showing checkin's currently active and their value and validity could be in order? I'll start.
Harvey Nichols - £25 spend, £25 back. Good until October 1st.
