American Express and Foursquare Roll Out National Partnership

American Express and Foursquare announced the national rollout of their partnership, which enables American Express card members who link their Foursquare profiles to their cards to "load" and seamlessly redeem merchant specials without the need for coupons, special codes or showing their mobile device to cashiers. This is the first time this technology has been used to allow card members nationwide to take advantage of merchant specials offered through Foursquare. The national launch kicks off with specials from H&M, Sports Authority and Union Square Hospitality Group, and is expected to expand rapidly in the coming weeks and months.
