According to the source, the Couponless Specials functionality powered by the American Express Smart Offer APIs enables UK card members to benefit from the merchant Specials offered via Foursquare. Card members have to link their cards to their Foursquare profiles in order to discover American Express Specials at Foursquare venues. When they see a Special on Foursquare they have to check in to the merchant and load the Special to their cards.
The launch has started with outlets including: Bella Italia, Café Rouge, Eat, House of Fraser, Nando’s, PizzaExpress, Primark, Strada and Tesco.
