The Couponless Specials functionality powered by the American Express Smart Offer APIs, enables card members nationwide to benefit from the merchant Specials offered via foursquare. . Car members have to link their card to their foursquare profile in order to discover American Express Specials at foursquare venues. When they see a Special on foursquare they want to take advantage of, they have to check in to the merchant and load the Special to their card.
The national launch has started with Specials from H&M, Sports Authority, and Union Square Hospitality Group, and is expected to expand and to include additional national and local merchant offers.
In March 2011, American Express has inked a contract with US start-up location-based mobile platform company Foursquare Labs. Under the deal, AmEx customers can register their cards in the Foursquare system to access offers from merchants who are also Foursquare participants.
