Foursquare Goes National with American Express

Last March, foursquare conducted a test with American Express, allowing users to link their AmEx and foursquare accounts, spend at least $5 at a local merchant in Austin, and get a $5 savings applied directly to your monthly statement.

Now the partnership is going national. Across the whole country, at select merchants, you can now check-in with foursquare, pay with your American Express card, and get big savings on your monthly statement.

There’s no cutting out coupons or showing your phone to the cashier. The savings are automatically credited to your account within a few days. The deal is one way "payments" are being integrated with other activities, ranging from check-ins and offers to advertising and in-store promotion,.
