mrage Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 According to "The Boarding Area", all purchases are being coded as Sam's Club Photo Shop. It's a glitch that Sam's Club and AMEX are working on. Some people are reporting its already been fixed. Others called in to AMEX, received a manual $20 statement credit, and the offer is still showing as valid I can confirm this, I bought an item from them and it was initially coded as such. It seems to have been fixed, but it's still pending. Once it clears I'll have to keep an eye and make sure I get credit. Thanks for the other tips, I'm a noob at the Sync process. Managed to use the twitter hashtag to get all my cards signed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this offer on a few of my Amices but my first purchase was mis-coded as a photo purchase (so I canceled it), and I'm not a fan of going through anywhere nearly this much hassle for $20. Even I have my limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they end up just honoring the offer even though it was coded as a photo order, or did they fix how the purchase was coded? Appreciate the feedback!

Got the order confirmation email from Samsclub.com No email from Amex thanking me for using the offer. Pending charge shows the merchant as samsclub.com.

mendelssohn Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I bought a $20 Sam's Club GC more than a week ago. It showed up as pending on my Amex BGR and never posted. The charge is now gone from my Amex card, but my card has shipped from Sam's Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrage Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I wouldn't be worried, I don't think anyone has been getting the instant confirmation of using the offer. I need detergent too and still have 2 cards left to do. I may go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasRN Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I bought a $20 Sam's Club GC more than a week ago. It showed up as pending on my Amex BGR and never posted. The charge is now gone from my Amex card, but my card has shipped from Sam's Club. Me too. I would accept a free gift card just the same as an account credit. I went to order another for my wife's Delta card and the $20 gift card is no longer available online. Edited May 12, 2015 by TexasRN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transaction posted by Tuesday. Never got an email from Amex, as I'm accustomed to. $20 credit hit by Thursday.

I don't even... Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I have an interesting observation to add on the samsclub.com offer. I went through the same thing with it originally showing as photo then the credit showing up later. Then last night I made another purchase at samsclub.com with my fido amex and imagine my surprise when I immediately got an email thanking me for using my offer. I will report back if I get another $20 credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even... Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I know tripple post, but I just got this (targeted?) offer. $10 off $200 Amex GC. Use two browser trick to add to multiple cards. Code FPGRAD for free shipping. They have personalized cards for those retailers who insist on seeing ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
