I see if you live in Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Vermont, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories and possessions you are screwed out of the grand prize.

how do i get this to pop up on my dash lol

Is there a trick to get this to pop up on the dash? I'm not seeing it anywhere.. Do you have to be a Gold member? (I actually have a couple prepaid cards waiting for the right time to use, this would be it if it's time...)

edit: nevermind, found it after I went through with registering and it said to go to the Browse Games tile...

Anyone find anything out regarding this. It was about if preordering two games and paying them off at time of purchase would count for the offer. The statement would say Bestbuy and $120 so I dont see why that wouldn't be a purchase. What about gift card? I honestly haven't looked at the terms though, might give them a look and see.

I had trouble finding it myself. here is the instructions from the email they send:

1. Go to the Games section of the Xbox 360 dashboard and click on the Browse Games tile
2. Click on the American Express digital experience tile
3. Allow Microsoft to share your Xbox LIVE Gamertag, if you haven't
already, and enter this Access Code. This Access Code will identify you
to Microsoft as an American Express Cardmember and may allow Microsoft
to know which offers you add to your Card

Do you guys think it would be too late to sign up for an AMEX card and get in on this deal? Assuming I have good enough credit that is. If not what is the best or fastest way to sign up?

Never played a Halo game save for a few minutes of Reach. Considering what a rockin deal this is with a bby preorder and the motivation to finish the game, would Halo 4 be a good place to start or is my inner deal monster just trying to get the better of me?

I love how all the young gamers on gamefaqs are complaining about this promotion since they can't get AMEX cards

AMEX is miles ahead of the competition when it comes to social media promotions. I love the twitter cash back deals.

I don't know if it is too late to signup and participate in the promotion, but I doubt it. You should definitely signup ASAP. IIRC they call you a couple of minutes after you apply to tell you whether you are going to be approved or not, and you'll get your card within the week. Also, you get at least $100 cashback after you spend your first $1,000 using the card (you have like 3 months to spend the $1000).

I use 3 cashback credit cards, the AMEX Blue Cash, Discover More, and Chase Freedom. Both the Discover and Chase have rotating 5% cashback categories, so I always use those before AMEX for the eligible purchases. AMEX is great the rest of the year for gas and groceries, when Chase and Discover aren't offering 5% cashback for those categories. The other card I could get to earn even more cashback would be the Capital One Cash Rewards MasterCard that Jimmy Fallon advertises. You get 1.5% cashback on all purchases using that card rather than the base 1.0% cashback Discover, Chase, and AMEX offer.

signed up. What is the best way to get the best bang for the buck? Will BBY be having a B2G1 free within the next 2 ad cycles?

This is the real Xbox rewards program.

Maybe we should add to the OP that after syncing the AMEX card to your Gamertag that users still need to activate and load the offers on the dashboard options?

My thoughts exactly, I pre-ordered Halo 4 yesterday and Besy Buy already shipped the game. Delivery estimate is 11/8. Pretty legit deal.

Can the first 2 achievements be done in co-op and still get the Amex Reward?

I probably missed this, but is there a time frame to spend $100 after beating halo? Thinking of buying halo/cod together to get the $100 spend and then beating halo

You can only spend $100 after you activate the offer
