Amex Cardholders Get Tweet Deals

Written by George Anderson

Don't visit Twitter without it. A new program from American Express allows members to sync their cards with Twitter and, by sending out tweets using customized hashtags, receive special offers from merchants including Best Buy, Century 21 Department Store, H&M, McDonald's, Sports Authority, Whole Foods, Zappos and more. When Amex cardholders make a qualified purchase, they'll receive a credit on their statement in a matter of days.

"American Express is turning Twitter content into commerce by connecting Cardmembers to merchants and delivering real world value to both," said Ed Gilligan, vice chairman, American Express, in a press release. "With the continued convergence of online and offline commerce, our closed loop continues to enable us to bring seamless, relevant ways to connect our cardmembers and merchants on the most powerful social and digital platforms."

American Express consumer or business card holders can participate in the program by going to an Amex web page to sync their card with Twitter.

Offers that are part of program can be found at the favorites tab on the American Express Twitter page. Current offers include $10 off a purchase of $50 at H&M and $10 back on $75 spent on the Zappos site.
