After syncing your card, did you remember to go to the Xbox Dashboard and click the button that redeems that $10 credit for syncing? The $10 one doesn't happen automatically.

Yep I got that email the night before along with everyone else in this thread.

Ahh I completed the mission but did not wait for the email before I bought my Vita. My fault for not reading the terms.

I probably forgot that. Is there anyway to fix it?

I have the offers loaded but forgot where to go to load more offers.

On Saturday I got the confirmation email from AMEX for the Best Buy deal, later that day bought $150 in iTunes cards for $110 ($10 gift card and 20% off Reward Zone offer) and this morning I got my $50 back (shows from Best Buy actually not AMEX).

So in the end I got $150 iTunes credit for $60.

Only credit of this deal I haven't gotten yet is the Wake Up John offer for beating the game, need to look into what I may have missed about that one.

Is this still going? I didn't see the tile on the dash.

I last found it via a Halo 4 sub-section which still had the ad.

After getting the in-game achievements, do we need to go back to the dashboard offer to claim them manually like the $10 credit promo? Or is the email notification from AMEX automatic?

In the past Amex Sync promos used to post it as a regular credit, but this year they started using the retailer's name on the credit (if you click the + sign for credit details, it'll show the Amex promo name somewhere in there)

This way you know which retailer you got the promo for and most importantly they don't have to pay full cash back on your purchase

Before: $100 XYZ purchase, $50 general Amex credit, you pay $50 & get reward pts on $100
Now: $100 XYZ purchase, $50 "XYZ" credit, you pay $50 & get reward pts on $50

Email came automatically in maybe 3 days? They say it could take up to 7.

That's smart on their part. I wonder if the Best Buy Reward Zone counts it as the full price too, I should watch my pending points.

I think you just wait it out until Amex's system checks your XBL gamertag for the achievement so it may take a few days

Thanks guys!

Promo is from Amex so BB wont know about it (Amex just looks for a $100+ BB charge in your card activity and gives you the credit) -- you'll get the full RZ points

Silver members should finish off the spartan ops achievement asap. The 3x points offer expires this Sunday. I'm hoping to use my triple points coupon on a $100 gift card purchase in time to earn an extra $5 RZ certificate.

Sorry for my ignorance, what's the triple points offer?

Yea, I don't think there's any time limit on actually redeeming the $10 one. McCarron suggested looking in the Halo 4 dashboard menus: "I last found it via a Halo 4 sub-section which still had the ad."

Best Buy Silver RZ members should have received a coupon in the mail to earn triple reward zone points on in-store purchases.

Got my confirmation emails for $25 and $50/100 yesterday. Today I spent $200 at BB, and AmEx immediately emailed me:

Thank you for using your American Express Card at Best Buy. If your purchase qualifies for a $50.00 statement credit, the statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 8 weeks.

More efficient than I expected. Looking forward to 10 + 25 + 50 = $85 credit in January.

In order to find the AmeXbox tile on your Xbox 360 to "load" the offers, go to the Games section of you Xbox 360. You need to actually "go" into the Games section, not just scroll over to it. I believe you select More Games on the left. Once you are "in" the Games section, you should see the tile for the AmeXbox promotion.

This is how I get to it each time to load more offers after syncing.
