Click the middle of the top of the screen and select "specials". It shows most, but not all, of the AmEx specials as "Spend £5, get £5 back provided by American Express"

If you mean non-Amex issued cards then definitely Lloyds TSB Avios and, I believe, MBNA

Okay, so no participating outlets in Jersey, Northern Ireland, or so far as I can see from the map, in Scotland... not much of a promo.

Sorry, meant my wife's card, linked to my Amex account.

Interesting question - my wife has a card on my BA AmEx, but as we've both got individual Lloyds AmEx cards I didn't bother registering her BA AmEx card in case it didn't work....

It does seem pretty bad that there are no outlets in Edinburgh/Northern Ireland - there do seem to be quite a few in London but not all of the retailers that lead to £5 being awarded seem to be on the map, so probably worth registering anyway....

I registered both mine and my partners - but not tried out both yet. I'm sure I read somewhere online that you could register both card holders - but can't find that reference anymore. I'm not sure if both cardholders get the £5 credit for the same store. The T&Cs only say 1 credit per card per statement (which does sound like both cards should get the credit - but I do suspect it is more likely 1 credit per account per store).

Thanks, would be great if one can get £10 free per store!

This worked well for me at 5 stores on Saturday, but I went to one of the restaurants listed tonight and they didn't accept amex. Not the end of the world as I would have gone there anyway, but worth noting.

If it's similar to the foursquare deal, it's per card. So between my wife and I we have 6 cards (supplements included)

I did a test purchase on Friday, will try another tomorrow with my wife's card.

I can't seem to sync my card. Every time that I have tied. Since Friday. There seems to be an error.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Out of the 3 non-London places today none actually took Amex. Seriously, is it that difficult for them to get an up to date list of customers?!

I've done some more spending on the card. There is no need to use foursquare and checking in etc.. Just register your card and spend.

I use the foursquare app to see who's participating in the offer but don't bother checking in, which is nice as it was a real hassle.

Has anyone actually had a credit back yet? I'm having issues with the tracking and all sorts!

I received an email within 10 mins of swiping my card confirming the cash back. Not appeared on my statement yet but I'm confident it will, they always have before with these types of offers, as long as you get the email or foursquare confirmation.

Not yet. I had a transaction on 1 Nov but no credit yet. They do say between 3-5 days. So far I've had an email confirmation each time I've used my card at an eligible retailer (and some I didn't even realise the offer was valid at).
