Ditto. done £50 at HN, but have opportunity to do £125 more.

Waiting to see if a Tesco credit will trigger after a legit check-in and load to card, but no confirmation in the foursquare app, as with previous specials.

I just spoke with Amex and apparently the 4SQ offers will be back up tomorrow.

A system fault caused them to disappear, however they will be back.

Hope this helps!

10/10 for GAP
7/11 for Harvey Nicks
2/2 for Tesco

I'm planning to go to GAP between christmas and new year to pick up some bargains with the £60 of gift card credit I have left over as well as spend that last free £10 from the remaining card

7/11 of Fridays HN transactions posted today together with the statement credits - Amazing! (note: these are all the Amex issued cards)

I've only been to Tesco once! The 2nd one I managed to trigger by doing an online order which I didn't think counted, but there you go!

I'm seriously tempted to buy 9 x £50 Tesco gift cards as these will be worth £450 but only cost £360. I think it would be fairly rude not to, dont you think?

None of the other offers really tempt me to be honest, apart from maybe Argos. Assuming they do gift vouchers £220 worth would cost me £165 after £55 cashback but meh.... Argos! Nothing is ever really cheaper there is it?

OK, first world problem, I know there are much more depressing things happening in London all the time but sitting in an argos waiting for your ticket number to come up has to be amongst the most depressing things I've ever had to do in my life!

Argos should introduce a fast track lane for their most loyal customers as well as priority picking and an enhanced seating area with free food and drinks! ?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if, like when Gap disappeared and then came back, we could all reuse them again once they come back online.

Who's going to volunteer to do a test transaction to find out?

Argos sells their own gift vouchers but also a range of other retailer ones.

Amex & BA Master Thread

Thanks for posting updates everyone, that is good news. I can't match 11 cards, but even with 5 it's worth a trip into town to spend money for the sake of it at HN!

Yes, and I can confirm that if you sell six of them on eBay then you can get £48 (less fees) that can be spent anywhere.

If you have multiple Amex cards they can load one card repeatedly with £10 credits so you don't end up with a stack of GAP giftcards.

Cheers.
I need some new jeans, so spending the gift card in store is fine with me....just figured a gift card would be somewhat easier than asking them to split a purchase across 12 different amex cards!

Still not back but Foursquare support just tweeted that they're 'working out a few kinks' and they'll be back shortly.
