Shopping Savings: Sports Authority and H&M/American Express

Last week, American Express Smart Offer APIs which allow Cardmembers who link their foursquare profiles to their cards to “load” and seamlessly redeem merchant specials nationwide, without the need for coupons, special codes or showing their mobile devices to cashiers. The Smart Offer APIs use American Express’ secure, closed-loop network to bring merchants and Cardmembers closer together by serving up relevant deals and offers at point of purchase via foursquare. If you're an American Express cardmember, you can load exclusive deals on their Amex cards, including “spend $75, get $10 back” at H&M and “spend $50, get $20 back” at Sports Authority.
