American Express in alliance with foursquare announced the national rollout of their new service following a successful pilot at South by Southwest in March. The service allows American Express® Cardmembers 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 devices to cashiers.

It is the first time the technology has been used to provide card holders nationwide with advantage to use merchant Specials offered through foursquare in this easy and straightforward way.

With the national launch customers will have access to the offerings from H&M, Sports Authority, and Union Square Hospitality Group and the number of merchants is expected to expand rapidly to include additional national and local merchant offers in the coming weeks and months.
